I agree with that, to have them run like their esee, rat, or tops competitors you have to pay the same price. With that being said, they are cheaper stock then those other blades, and are good quality. Thanks for the comment.

Actually Aaron I like my BK-10 Crewman very much, I had it for a little while now, and having almost the complete line of Becker's I had enough time to compare my knives, here is what I found, the thickness of the BK-10 is the same as my BK-9, and that knife is a great chopper and baton's great too, the angle of the grind is very good at 20° making it a very good slicer, the shorter blade on my BK-10 actually makes it a pretty strong blade but because it's shorter I can't baton as large wood as my BK-9 but I can baton with confidence with my BK-10 on log's that are reasonably the right size for it, I also have as much confidence in it as I do my BK-2 that it won't break easy, there is no question the BK-2 is a tank of a knife, but seriously if my BK-9 is as tough as it is, so is my BK-10, nice seeing this review again, nothing has changed about my BK-10 except that I had it for a while now and it's holding up great as I put my BK-10 through more use and I have more appreciation forit, I use to thinking it was less superior than my BK-2, yes the Bk-2 is tough, but the BK-10 is tough too.

Got the 9 and 16 got the 2 also. While the 2 is a tank and more dependable i think ur ok with the 10 if ur careful. Id rather have the tops bob than the bk 16 though. Not as good at feather sticks as the 16 but still better than the 9 or 2. 16 is ultra light tho. I think u hit dead on with becker tho. 9,10, and 16. The best becker combo. I hear there is a becker 6 in blade but its listed differently. Try the tops Bob. Unique. Hybrid survival/bushcraft with firesteel and notch for bow drill. The ferro striker is a joke though. Tough steel. About 9 ounces of tough steel. Great batoner for the size. Chops good

Say Heah, It's been a while since I've seen this video. Nothing changed, I still teamed the BK-10 with my BK-9 for a great 2Knife Carry. But it also goes well with my BK-4 since the tips match for both large knives. But in the Summer I like using my BK-4 as my Summer Long Knife because of the design as a forward blade machete and it's ability to lite chop since I don't have to process as much wood to stay warm, I also like scouting new areas and of course my Afternoon Delights, So yeah, I really get alot of use with my BK-10, Actually once you try it, It became one of my Fav's 5" blades. And that stable consists of my O. K. C. Ranger Alpha, BK-2, My Fav Ratmandu, Rodent 5, BK-10 and the MK-1. I think that's saying alot for it. Yeah a thumbs up type of knife.

New question. My requirements are approximately 5in blade, .18in thickness preferred to .25. More tactical over wilderness. I'd also like to keep the knife affordable, closer to $100. I like BK10 over BK2, but don't like that thumb ramp. The grip on the Beckers look exceptional, but I would likely swap out the scales for G10. Like ESEE 6, but not sure I want something that large. Just found out about Ontario Afghan Bush knife - how does that stand up to the Beckers? I saw your review of SK5, but Afghan Bush looks more substantial and better for tactical as well as bush.
