Is there any difference between these two knives? I am looking to get a BK 2 and a BK 7 and I am kinda confused. I have found this site http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...eMldmfjKAUcYp-S4w&sig2=APccAl7IoJQLF5MfT7qX1Q which shows the knife for sale for $62.97 but when I see the same knife for sale in the "for sale section" it seems to be going for a lot more? The only difference I can see between the above knife and the ones I see for sale are the color of the sheaths? Please help! I am very confused.
 
First up you don't want to be posting links to sales pages for stuff or you might get dinged (infracted for posting to non-forum supporters). Second, the differences are pretty minimal, although with a Camillus version you no longer have a warranty. Kabar has a better heat treat (which is one of the most important things in a knife's design). Plus if you break a Kabar you now have warranty support.

Not sure what you mean. Are you asking about the "For Sale" section of the Forum, or that website?

Short answer is that Camillus hasn't made Beckers for several years now and anything sold as a Camillus knife will have a "collector" value.

He's suggesting you remove your link before you get in trouble.

As to which to get, I'd get a Kabar one and use the living heck out of it.
