The BK2 is a great knife.
I wonder why you posted here instead of on the Becker Subforum? Anyway, nice to know you figured out the sharpening issue. Those Smith's and others of their ilk are great if you need to touch up a blade in a hurry (like trying to skin a couple of deer before night falls). But generally, there are better ways to sharpen a blade. I use a Blade Medic when I have to (not on my expensive stuff) and it does better than most. But I use stones or diamond normally.
