About 6 months ago I got a BK2 from Jeff S1 here on the forums in trade. Up til last Friday I just handled it and messed with it. Well Friday comes and the wife and i decide that we are going to have some drinks around the table (which has a firepit in it). Being in a metro area, i didnt have any wood to gather persay so, i got a bundle of seasoned hickory from the local home depot. The logs were way to big to get a fire started so, i had an idea....baton it w/ the BK2! I batoned 2 of the logs completely in half then in smaller pieces w/ the BK2 and another log as a beater. Again, this was seasoned hickory so it gave me quite a work out. On the final strike of the last log I hit a hidden rock... 
....My stones are still in storage in the attic so, i got another idea...I am sitting on a big slab of concrete...use it to sharpen the BK2...so i did. Took out the edge damage in no time and i stropped it to hair shaving sharp on a piece of cardboard that had blown into the yard (lots of construction in a new neighborhood). The Becker got a work out that night and came out like a champ. I would have NO problem taking this as the only tool in a real camping/wilderness situation. Thank you Mr. Becker for such a fine piece of MASSIVE steel!

Glad to hear it is getting used like it should.
