I’ve been using and collecting knives since 1983. Gone through probably hundreds of blades. The TOPS Armageddon is my absolute favorite knife. I had the H.O.G. and the B.O.B. But gave them away when I got a Brakimo. 🇺🇸
Awesome video! I really enjoy my Bk2, but have never owned or used the 10. Looks like a terrific knife for sure. Happy to have found your channel and looking forward to seeing what blade is your #1 choice.
Great taste man. I had a BK2 and after a year or so I wanted to grab another Becker. The 9 is great if you want a gladius, the BK2 is great if you want to baton your house in half and carry a anchor on your hip. It came down to the 7 and the 10. I decided the 7 was to big too be crafty and handy. I went with the BK10 and I love the thing. Best all-rounder in the lineup.
@@ochocobushcraft1742 Nothing wrong with a big bowie or chopper. They just aren't very grab and go friendly and kind of frightening to non knife folks unless you are out in the backcountry. I do like a big knife in my kit when I am out in the wild though.
Thank You for watching! Each knife feels different in the hand to each person. For me the Esee 5 just doesn't have that magic feel like the Becker did. Edge performed better on Becker as well.
I have custom BK 7 and a BK16. I have made green G19 grips. How do you put a grippy type surface on G10? This one is smooth and slippery when dry, sticky when wet. Can I rough it a bit with courser sand paper?
@@ochocobushcraft1742 thank you so much just curious but what did one of those run you and how long was the turn around? I'm getting my bk10 in today this review sold me on it finally I've been eyeballing it for the better part of a year and wanted an in between blade for one of my go bags and everything about this really stood out I tried a rat 7 before this and received one with a horrible warped blade and was kinda turned off towards that knife after sending it back so hopefully better luck with the Becker 🤞
@@ochocobushcraft1742 trying to decide between the bk2 and the bk10. same length, but very different blade shape and thickness. they seem to fill such different uses. maybe get both??
@@HollywoodTacticool I really enjoy using the 10, but didn't enjoy the 2 much and got rid of it. Didn't do anything well as the 10, and felt bulky and awkward in my hand. I know others who really like the 2, this is my own opinion. Be sure and upgrade the handles. The Knife Connection handles are awesome!
Hey Dan i also live here in Prineville and am interested in bush craft an big knives I'd like to meet you and learn a few things from you my name is Trevor Allison
Hello Redmond!!! Awesome to hear from a neighbor. The BK10 is much easier to work with. Better carver, faster in the hand makes it better for delimbing. More comfortable to use. Highly reccomended, but switch out the handles.
@@ochocobushcraft1742 I have the Steel Eagle 107e (non saw top). Just curious why you like the Junglas 2 over it. I've been trying to decide on a knife to add to my bag that is smaller than the Steel Eagle. Have been considering bk16, esee 4 and bk10. Also though if tops cochise ranger. In worried about the esee 4 handle size. Anyways, thanks for your time making these videos. If you had any suggestions on what to pair with my steel eavle6, I would greatly appreciate it.
@@agoodloe There is always that one knife that just seems to be perfect for each person. For me it is the Junglas 2 The Steel Eagle is A great knife. I would recommend the BK16 for an excellent companion for carving, cleaning game, etc.However, the factory handles leave a lit to be desired. The G10 handles from The Knife Connection are excellent! If you want to go all out, put a 90 degree spine on it and a patina. Check out video of mine.
Both good guesses, and I have used both, and the BK7. Since then my absolute favorite Survival knife has become the ESEE JUNGLAS 2. Use it more than any other. You might check out the videos on how I customized it.
@@ochocobushcraft1742 I have the TOPS smoke jumper, they sure know how to find that perfect heat treat for 1095 steel, enjoying the channel, will subscribe!
that knife appears to be an all-around package. I dont want bk2 - too fat anda heavy/ A bk7 is bit too much. This bk10 looks like the porridge that was juuust right
i have a few ka-bar knives,, non of the becker series, i'm not a fan of the hollowed out portions of the tang,, i prefer esee, i have the 5, 6 and original junglas
@@ochocobushcraft1742 i haven't handled the junglas 2 yet, i've got a bunch of knives, if i buy anymore my wife might give that look, if your married then you know :)
What what wait. He said what? Better than the bk7? How dare him, doesn’t he know the bk7 is awesome bar none! I forgive him, I’ll just stay with my bk7. and no one will notice.
If weight isn't an issue the tops operator 7 is an absolute TANK of a knife. I don't think you could break that blade even if you tried. Chopping & splitting is just beastly.... Side note: The new CPM-3V (upgraded from 1095) architect field buddy on TKC is on my radar....
Why not carry a good hatchet like a gransfors bruk instead of so many different knives. Hatchet you could limb trees, cut firewood, carve, curls, etc. With my gransfors axes and hatchets theyre so sharp i could prepare food with one too. I mean yes of course carry a knife but a hatchet would do better for most of those tasks imo
I love the Gransfors Bruk hatchet. Have one on the side of my bushcraft pack and use it a lot. My mission was to simply find what I thought would be the best bugout knife, and share my results. Thanks for watching!
Good review. About 5 years ago I became a prepper and started making a survival kit. The BK10 was my 1st choice. Essee was out of my budget.
BK 10 is a great choice!
I have a BK10... never regreted buying it... it is just great...
Agreed!
I actually went out and got a bk10 after watching this vid and I’m glad I did👍
Nice!
Becker BK2,BK7,BK9,BK10,BK62 ...Favorites ☝️💯‼️
Been using the 9 a lot this winter. Love it!

I have the BK 7 and 9, big fan of both. I might have to give the 10 a try. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! The BK9 is an awesome knife too!
Your the Bees Knees bro.... OUTSTANDING VID...!!!!!! Outstanding choice..!!!!!
Thank you for watching!!!
Nice informative video. The knife looks rock solid , indeed. Waiting for the winner! Your finger seems fully recovered! Cheers.
Thanks for watching! I managed to keep my finger out of the way this time, haha! I will post my winner soon!
The bk10 is my favorite!
I really enjoy mine! It is a great knife. Thanks for watching!

Thank you sir..for do the justice for the bk10 🤘🏻
It's a great knife!
Great information! Thank you!
Thank You!
In my opinion top knife, since 2005. I have the Camillus BK10, in two version: black (green sheath) and desert (BK101)
Just love mine. Explored the amazonas with it on me. Greetings from germany ;)
WOW! That is a great testimony about this knife. The Amazon would be a real test! Thanks for watching!
Little bit of rust Problems with ist on the gring But opened up a lot of Different hard nuts with it. never let me down
@@eko2633 Nice!
Good video, brother...👍🏻
i like your leather sheaths thought
Really good video! Thanks for making them. If you had to choose between the micarta and the tkc handles, which are you going with?
Thank You for watching! I really like the G10 from The Knife Connection.
I like the sheaths for both knives. I'm thinking about trying to make some. Nice review
Thank you! Custom sheaths work great for this knife. Let me know how yours turns out.
It looks like the Prineville shop has closed its doors. I see they did some really nice leather work.
cool knife! cool video! keep on the great content!
Thank You!
👍🏻👍🏻
I like the knife and I enjoy your channel! 😊 I agree with your arguments!👍 But why not an Esee 5? Many greetings from Germany, Mark
Thank You for watching! Each knife feels different in the hand to each person. For me the Esee 5 just doesn't have that magic feel like the Becker did. Edge performed better on Becker as well.
@@ochocobushcraft1742 great point. I realy like a bk handle! The less is more...

I buy my handles from The Knife Connection. You might contact them and ask, im not real sure.
ok, i'm from north central maine, we live in west central florida,, you say it's cold in this video, what state are you in
Bk10 vs Bk16 would be a great video!
Two of my favorites! I actually carry both quite often. Stay tuned as I do have something planned in the future.
Have you gotten the opportunity to try out a Junglas 2 yet? Seems like it may be a great bugout knife.
I haven't yet, But I'll Bet you are right. Could end up being a favorite! Unfortunately not in the budget right now, But it's on the list.
Will you teach me the ways of bushcraft??😃😃😃
i get criticized for not liking the tang on the becker series, i will never fault anyone for what they buy and like, i just prefer a solid tang
Hi just wondering where you got those leather sheaths
Shasta Leather Works here in Prineville Oregon custom makes my sheaths. Shastaleather.com
Thanks for watching
Can you post a link for the sheaths website? Really dig that deep brown dye you did on the micarta

@@yeshua1176 BEST to just call them. Small shop ran by a family. If they are not overly busy, only a few days. They are here in my home town.
BK2 or BK 10 which one to get is the question. Wish they made a BK10 with the thickness of the BK2
I have used both, and although the 10 is not as thick, it really out performs the 2 by a lot!
Went with the bk 10. En route as we speak. Thanks again
@@mattmorrison9379 Let me know how you like it.

Too bad Sagebrush Customs didn't make a nice sharp spine on this blade! Gr8 video.
Oh but they eventually did! Made it better than the Tops!

@@gl9500 Not yet. 18 is on my wish list.
My bob has a bk9 and a mora strapped to it and a multi-tool. ✝️🇺🇸✝️
Excellent combination!
I have a 9 with a Mora Robust strapped top it. Great combo.
Since the bk10 is your runner up... What is your first choice?
At the time it was the Tops Steel Eagle, but several viewers encourages me to try the Esee Junglas 2. It quickly became my top pick.
