what is, or should be considered Becker's Flagship knife?

me? id say the BK2, simply because i use it the most...
 
Right now it's the 2, but when the RP tweeners are released the 16 is gonna take over.
 
Doubtful, I sell BK2 sheaths 20-1 over anything else, after that BK-9.

You think people are really gonna keep buying 1/4" thick, pound and a half knives by the dozen when the perfect bushcrafter is finally released?

How many 58' Buicks are left?
 
I'm no Beckerhead but I do have some Beckers. I say go with the BK-5. The 5 has style and versatility. The 2 is just a chuck of steel with an edge but some people like that.
 
I would have to say the 2. I started out with an 11, and it just seemed like the next Becker to get after that..was a 2. Then the madness sets in..and then came a 7.

Yes. By the way, the perfect bushcrafter doesn't even fit my hand, so, not so perfect for me. ;)
 
I would argue (although not for long) that the BK11 is certainly one of the more iconic Beckers as well. After all, it was the first knife that KA-BAR began producing when they picked up BK&T. Anyone? Anyone?

I have to agree with that, but its sort of a vice versa package deal. I noticed some new Becker owners sway towards the 11 to feel out the quality and automatically want a big bro (or sis) and thats where the 2 seems to come in. I recently converted a friend after he touched the 2..then he tried to steal my 11(which i started with) saying his 2 needed a friend..and he ended up buying an 11 due to the bottle opener lol. So it can go both ways.

The BK-2 is definately the flagship knife. Although I love my BK-11 and use it daily.

O.K., the BK-2 piggybacked with a BK-11 is the perfect BK&T flagship knife/combo.
