New BK2 sharpness?

the two BK2's I've had both came razor sharp, and toothy as someone said, more than good enough out the box in terms of sharpness, they still got returned though for other reasons

but from what I read QC isn't what it used be at Ka-bar (I've no prior experience of them)
 
well I meant compared to years gone by, it may well be on the upswing just now, but the two bk2's I got were sub par, uneven sabre grinds, bulging misshapen spines, one was even bent

shame, cause I LOVED the feel of the knife, shape of the handle etc
 
I just stropped my newest Becker on the cardboard from the back of a legal pad. I'll be darned. It cut paper fairly well before the stropping but much better after. Perhaps there is something to this "stropping" thing
afterall. :thumbup:

I wouldnt go throwing any beckers bud....


Both my bk2s came plenty sharp. but one of them wouldnt shave paper very well either at first. A few minutes on a strop and it shaved hair and paper without issue. Stropping really does make all the difference when your looking for that perfect razor edge.

I knew it could take it. I don't normally throw my knives. But this thing is such a beast I couldn't resist. I only threw twice from a short distance :D
