The Ka Bar BK2 looks like it could and has taken some abuse, is it any good?
Yes, it's not a bad knife. Unlike anything I have ever owned, it's built like a tank and yet it only has a 5 inch blade. For more thoughts on the BK2 check out my blog for a recent review. I think it will end up being a knife I take outback on motorbike trips, not sure if I will take it on multi day hikes.
It's a reasonable alternative to a small axe.
The other ka-bar in the pic has also taken a lot of abuse. I know a lot of Bushcrafters dislike this style of knife; and whilst I have some great scandi blades I end up taking one of the ka-bar's on most outings. The Fallkniven S1 may give the ka-bar a run for it's money, haven't used it yet.
