I enjoy mine. I had an Ontario SP8 machete, which has a longer blade than the Becker. My BK3's a Camillus made one, not the current Ka-Bar made one in 1095 CroVan steel.
I guess the Ontario's a little better chopper because of its size, but the slightly smaller size of the BK3, for me, makes it more handier.
Camillus's steel on the Beckers is excellent & the knife is a good all around chopper. It is a chisel grind, but it one the proper side for a right hander, unlike on Emersons.
