The Becker BK2 is my favorite knife in the series, at one time I owned 4 of them. Here's some photos of one that was made by Blackjack Cutlery which had the contract to make these knives before Camillus did.
The box shows a lot of shelf wear but the knife and sheath are mint. The blade is even thicker than the Camillus version shown in the last photo. The blade has a light gray finish ( powdercoat?) rather than the black finish of the Camillus version.




 
She's a beaut. I like that look. Moose
 
The original Blackjack Campanions were 1095. I read one review in which the author used a sledge hammer to pound the Campanion to cut a large hole in the trunk of a Buick. You wouldn't have to worry about batoning it. I keep it as an emergency knife in the car. Despite the thickness it takes a hair shaving edge.
 
Thanks for the comments and thanks for the information about the type of steel used. It certainly seems like it could take some hard use.

Cool, do you have any specs on the knife, steel etc. ?
