Since the demise of Camillus Knives, Ka-Bar has thankfully picked up and re-released several of Ethan Becker's designs.  One of these models is the BK2 Campanion.  I received one in the mail a few days ago, and my first impressions couldn’t be better.  At .25 inches thick, with a blade that's 5.25 inches long, and at 10.5 inches overall, this is a very stout knife.  The grinds are very nice, and the edge came almost shaving sharp.  It’s made from 1095 CRO-VAN steel, which is a proven performer, and the blade is coated with one of the smoothest coatings I have ever felt.  The Grivory scales are surprisingly comfortable.  The sheath on this knife is kydex, it is ambidextrous, and retains the knife very solidly.

I do not see the knife coming out and being lost, except under extraordinary circumstances.  The sheath has many attachment points, so it should work well with Molle fasteners, or by piggy-backing another knife.  As I hold this knife, I have the undeniable urge to cut, chop and destroy something.  This knife screams to be used.  So, what better way to put a knife to the test than to hit the woods and spend some time running it through its paces.  You can look at it all day long, but it's not until you're on the trail that you can get a good measure of a tool like this that really counts for anything.

The first thing I wanted to do with this weighty little beast was chop something.  The weight of the knife lends itself very well to this activity.  With it’s teeth bared, the BK2 chops like a small hatchet. I love the extended grip that can be taken, and I chopped through a 4” log in under 1.5 minutes.  The handle was very comfortable during the chopping, and I experienced no hot spots.  The extended grip that can be taken adds considerable power when chopping.  I was amazed at the size of the chunks that I carved from the log.  And to think, this is only a 5.25 inch blade.  What would the 7 inch model or the 9 inch one do?  I can only imagine at this point, but I have a very strong feeling that this entire set is going to end up in my collection.  After I got done chopping through the log, it was time for some batoning.  Once again, the knife excelled at this.  The stock thickness and the strength of the blade make it unstoppable through 4-5” logs.   In a short time I reduced the log to kindling.  Of course, you can't stop with just one.  So, I proceeded with the same process for several logs to make sure that it held up to repeated us in this fashion.  All told, I wasn't disappointed at all with the performance of the BK2, even with a blade only 5.25 inches long.  Knives aren't the usual tool for doing these kinds of chores, but there are times when you have to press them into hard-use action.  It's good to know that you can rely a tool like the BK2 when you have to step outside of the normal range of use it for something more often reserved for an axe.
The ease with which the knife split this wood, required that I find a more difficult opponent.  That in mind, I headed for some seasoned hard wood. I took the blade directly through the middle of a large knot.  There was no blade flex at all, and no chipping or rolling of the edge. This log's fate was the same as the last--kindling.  With all this nice kindling on hand, I thought a small fire was in order. I did a quick fuzz stick for fun, and then pulled some dry leaves and small sticks together for a tinder bundle.  Next, I pulled some lint off my sock and put that in the center of the bundle.  Several hard strikes of the fire steel and I had a nice flame.  I wanted to test the strength of the blade laterally, so I found an old log from which to harvest some fatwood.  You can usually find some in the center of older pine logs.  I started by pounding around the center in a circle.  After that, I went from the inner part out, to release a chunk.  I could see some decent fatwood, so I started prying. I pounded the knife straight in with strikes to the end of the tang, then pried chunks off until I had exposed the inner core.  During this exercis, I make sure to give the steel a good workout, wresting it from side to side while prying the wood apart.  I wanted to make sure that it held up under the most extreme conditions.  Just like the previous tests I'd already conducted, it sailed through the work with no problems whatsoever.  I could not get the knife to flex before it broke the wood.  Once the inner core was exposed, and after some quick batoning, the fatwood was mine. I had to try it out.
So, I took a large chunk of the bark and scraped the dry inner side, for tinder. Once I had that tinder, I shaved a small pile of the fatwood.  Once again, a couple hard strikes with the Firesteel and the fatwood burst to flame.  The end of the tang showed no signs of damage, and the Grivory grip scales were fine. I thought the edge might show some dulling from the lateral scraping of the bark, but that was not the case.  The last test I performed was to measure BK2’s bushcrafting abilities. During the night it snowed, which just added to the fun.  I set out to notch and build a little figure four deadfall trap.  This type of deadfall is often called a Paiute deadfall.  I found a rock to use, and then headed for the sticks.  With a bend of the branch and a quick push cut, the wood was mine.  I then notched and shaved the pieces necessary.  The weight of the knife, and the absence of a choil, aided in the ease with which this task was done. I tested the deadfall, made a few fine tuning cuts, and it held perfectly.
The knife was very easy to use.  Having the blade run right up to the handle, adds great comfort and control.  I never sharpened the knife during the test, and it still shaved paper at the end.  It really was very close to the “out of the box edge”.  I feel this knife represents a very well thought out design.  The shape of the tang end allows for many grip options, which are all comfortable.  The total weight of the knife and sheath is just under 20 ounces. That is well within what I am willing to carry for such a capable tool.  Combined with the BK11, the Becker Necker, and a small multi tool, I think all bases would be nicely covered. This is a fantastic knife for an unbelievable price.  I would, highly, recommend anyone looking for this type of tool, to take a close look at the Becker BK2 from Ka-Bar. It Rocks!!  Way to go Ka-Bar, and thanks to Ethan Becker, for such a great design!  It's just as pretty now as before the test! I like a used knife. No safe queens here!

自打卡美卢斯倒闭，卡巴公司欣喜地继承并从新推出了一些伊桑贝尔的设计。BK-2 Campanion便是其中之一。几天前我收到了一把邮寄过来的BK2，它给我的第一印象真是太棒了！此刀整刀长10.5英寸（约合26.67厘米），刀锋长5.25英寸（约合13.35厘米），配合达0.25英寸（约合6.35毫米，真是厚得变态！——译者注）的厚度——真是一把强壮的小刀！刀刃的研磨非常漂亮，刃口几乎和剃刀 一般锋利。这把刀采用久经考验的1095高碳钢制造，并使用了一种我见过的最光滑的涂层。Grivory（一家专门生产尼龙的公司——译者注）尼龙的柄非常舒服，轻便的K鞘可以很好把刀固定，不会出现意外滑出或是丢失之类的问题，除非处于非常极端的情况下。这个鞘上有很多挂点，可以很容易地固定在Molle系统上，或是绑在别的刀上。

         当我握着这把刀时，我就会有一种抑制不住的冲动去砍、去切、去破坏（这个哥们有暴力倾向——译者注）。这把刀就是拿来用的！因此，最好的测试方法莫过于走进森林里让其尽情发挥。你可以整天看着它，但只有你开始了你的旅程你才能发现一把这样的工具的真正价值。
         我想用这个重量级的小野兽做的第一件事就是砍点什么。这把刀的重量使其非常适合这项工作，再配合上锋利的刀刃，砍起来感觉就像是一把小斧子。我很喜欢这种延长的手柄，仅仅用了一分半钟，就砍断了直径4英寸（10厘米多）的一段原木。在劈砍过程中，手柄的握感非常好，没有任何磨手的地方。延长的手柄也为劈砍提供了相当可观的额外力量。看着从原木上砍下来的一部分，我着实吃了一惊！想想这个刀身也就是5寸的长度而已，那7寸、9寸长度的刀得多狠？现在我也就是想像一下，我确信早晚我会把这一个系列的刀都收入囊中。砍断这根原木以后，测试还要继续。再一次，这把刀表现十分出色。巨大的厚度和强壮的刀锋使其轻松破坏这节4-5英寸的原木，用了没多久便将其变成了柴禾。当然，砍一个不算完，我又以相同的程序处理了几节原木以确认它是否能保持这样的表现。
         （试过以后），我所有能说的话就是，这个刀锋仅仅有5.25英寸长的家伙表现丝毫没有让我失望。刀子本身或许并不适合干这样的粗活，但我们总是会遇到一些不得不暴力使用的情况，一些超出了（一把刀的）正常使用范围而不得不备一把斧头的情况……而（经过测试）知道一把BK2完全可以胜任这些情况，真是挺不错的。

非常感谢“喁喁收集 ”兄弟在百忙之中翻译此文，我谨代表我自己，对“喁喁收集 ”兄弟致以崇高的敬意

老实说,它让我挺失望的!这个长度是给较精细的切割削准备的,但如收集所说,它的厚度太变态了.另外以这个长度,手柄也显的过于粗大了些!设计者在切割性能和强壮之间无疑选择了后者!
其他两个要好很多!

由于劈砍原木十分轻松，所以必须为BK2寻找更为强硬的对手！念及此，我去找来了一些风干的硬木。我用刀从正中央劈断了一根硬木，刀刃一点损伤都没有——既没有崩口也没有卷刃。之后，这截硬木和之前的原木命运相同，变成了一堆柴火。看着这些整齐的木柴，我想，生一堆火会是个不错的主意。我先是做了个引火棒（到底是啥我也不知道……缺乏引火经验，后面的点火细节翻译的不太好——译者注），然后弄了一些枯树叶和刚才削好的小木棍做成篝火状，又从袜子上撕下下点布来（气体助燃？？）放在中间，蹭了几下火石，火就生起来了。
            我弄来了一截老原木，打算通过从中获取一些多脂松材来测试刀的横向强度。这种多脂松木可以从老松木的中间弄到。我先是围绕木头的中心用刀子刺了一圈，然后从内向外撬了一大块木头下来（这哥们儿的手劲相当大！——译者注）。这时候我看见了一些上好的多脂松木，于是我通过重重敲击刀柄扎进去，再撬，直到把中心部分整个儿抠出来。在测试中我尽量狠操，抠木头的时候扭来扭去。我要确认刀锋在极端条件下是否依旧可靠。就像之前的测试一样，它毫无问题地完成了任务。抠木头的时候我丝毫也无法把刀身弄弯（这叫废话！那么短的刀却那么厚，要是弯得了才叫怪！——译者注）。在把木头芯挖出来以后稍加处理，就得到了一块多脂松材。
            接着我的测试，用刀刮一刮这块多脂松木，就得到了一些火绒，再削下来几个小条，用火石蹭了几下就又生起一堆火来。然后查看刀子，刀柄没有任何损伤的迹象，G家的尼龙很结实。我以为刀子在刮过木头以后已经有点钝了，可实际上一点事也没有。

             最后一项测试是丛林生存。测试的当天晚上还下了点雪，增添了不少乐趣。我挖了个坑并设置了一个陷阱（名为Deadfall的陷阱，后面有介绍，一下简称陷阱——译者注），这种陷阱常常被成为Paiute Deadfall。我找到了合用的石头，然后找来了一根弯曲的树杈，稍加切削就凑够了做陷阱所需的材料。刀子的重量和一卷绳子帮了大忙。陷阱做好以后我又测试了一下，做了些细微调整，使其达到工作状态。刀子用起来非常方便，如能掌握正确方法，会增加舒适性和控制感。整个儿测试过程我一次也没有磨过这把刀，到测试结束的时候它仍旧能够削纸，刀刃几乎和刚从盒子里拿出来的时候一样。我觉得这把刀完全表现了设计者的意图，刀柄尾部的形状使你可以用好几种握法去握持，都一样舒服。刀连鞘重约为20盎司（一盎司合28g多一点，这刀连鞘要重一斤多啊！狗腿也就是600g多一点……太汗了！——译者注），正好不超过我对便携工具的要求。再配上一把BK11（也即the Becker Necker）和一个多用工具，就什么样的情况都能应付的了啦！另外，这把刀的性价比非常之高，我强烈推荐任何一个寻找这类工具的人离近了好好看看BK2，实在是太帅了！我要感谢卡巴公司和EthanBecker的经典设计（太俗套了……），在经过了这样的测试之后，刀还跟新的一样！

总算是翻译完了，说说翻译的感受吧。户外经验欠缺使得我在翻译户外引火的过程时费尽周折……而且估计还不是太准确。从树干里抠多脂松木的过程也只能尽力求得“达”了。
再来说说这把刀吧……20多厘米，也就是5寸的刀，却有6.35毫米厚度……汗死了！这么一个短粗胖的家伙，就是给小胖暴力测试估计都操不断……这样的厚度明明就是为了劈砍木料这种重型工作而设计的，偏偏来个短小……我是没见着实物，估计劈砍起来绝对吃不上劲儿。比这个大一号和大两号的那两把都不错，至少看上去比例更为协调。
看来胖大厨就像作者说的那样，把这一套都收齐了，看着眼馋，真想借来玩一玩……

看来对我的翻译很不满意啊……唉，水平有限啊，翻译财经类的文章还好，翻这类生存和刀具测试的没什么经验，什么地方翻译的不好恳请大家指点。

其实翻译的不错了，E文看着挺费劲的。喁喁辛苦了

再次感谢“喁喁收集”刀友，辛苦了！！看完了这篇测试，给我的感觉是这位老外作者对这把刀的评价有点夸张了，像是卡巴的枪手，说不定是卡巴送他的刀呢

BK2感觉不错。挺厚实
