Either one would be good, although — since Camillus has been out of business for awhile — the KA-BAR version is what you'll get if you want a new one. That's a good thing, though, since the KA-BAR version has a little better steel with a little better heat treat, IMHO.

Either way, you can't go wrong with a Becker.

I second that, my BK 11 from Kabar is great.

I disagree.I think that the Camillus Beckers are better than the Ka-Bar's. especially in heat treat.
 
My BK-7 is made camillus. Hasn't let me down yet. I only have Ka-Bar USMC as reference point for ka-bar and I have to say: Neither will let you down.
 
The *original Beckers* were THE BEST....
Waaay back in the day. Look THEM up...

Are you talking about the Blackjack-made Beckers, or did another mfr. make them for Ethan before that?

I've owned the Camillus BK10, BK7 and BK9; handled the Kabar versions, but the lone BK10 made by Blackjack that I saw is hands down better than the Camillus and Kabar versions.
 
Blackjack didn't make a BK10. For that matter, neither does Ka-Bar, unless they just released it.

KA-BAR doesn't make a BK-10... yet. From what I hear, it's on the docket for production, but I can't tell you exactly when.

The BK-5 Magnum Camp, though, should be released in the next month or two, and it's a beauty.
