What are the differences between this knife (BK-22) and the previous version (the BK-2)?

As far as I know the only difference is the sheath. The knife it exactly the same.
1013226
The BK-22 has the new sheath and a new upgraded blade coating. The sheath on the BK-2 is a glass filled sheath that constantly takes the edge off the blade. After numerous complaints from owners Becker redid the sheath and updated the blade coating. I would opt for the BK-22

Same exact knife ....only difference is that you pay a cpl more bucks for an awesome sheathe

The BK-22 has the HEAVY DUTY polyester sheath, the BK-2 has the Kydex sheath. I purchased the BK-22 through Amazon and I haven't been disappointed since.

The BK-2 and the BK-22 are the exact same knife. The difference in model number comes from the sheath they are sold with. The BK-2 is sold with a glass filled nylon sheath. The BK-22 is sold with a heavy-duty polyester sheath.

Sheath on previous model is plastic and prone to breakage. Front pouch large enough for multi tool or Altoids tin sized survival kit. Also has two retention snaps for the hilt.

The difference between the BK-22 and the BK-2 is the sheath. The BK-22 has a nylon sheath which is an amazing upgrade from the BK-2's sheath. I would opt for the BK-22 because the sheath is better by a 100%. Since I have both knives, I have noticed the the BK-2's sheath dull's the blade after a while and the sheath is actually a pain in the posterior when the blade is not in it. It bangs around like crazy and get annoying after a while. I hope that helps ;)

The BK-22 has a different, much better IMO, sheath and may have a different coating. The main difference is the sheath though, unless you plan on getting an after market sheath I would go for the BK-22 if at all possible.

As an overall survival knife I prefer the Buck Hoodlum. My first impression was how light it was for a big blade. Its more versatile and I like the sheath better. The BK9 is better for batoning and chopping in my opinion. I don't like the sheath and it doesn't have a finger choil so you can't choke up on it for more finer bushcraft work. Last time I checked the BK9 was about $20 or $30 cheaper.

Are the sheaths different? I know the bk 10 has the sheath with the small pouch on the front of it, I can just fit my gerber flik 2 in it.

No it is a full tang survival knife with a drop point, most so called "Bowie" knives are of a clip point and are hollow ground, the BK 10 is flat ground making it easier or better to Baton, Carve, Feather wood...bushcraft survival tasks, the Bowie is designed more along the lines for tactical benefits

Not sure if this is a 2nd generation, by that I assume you mean there was a previous model. I do know it is a fantastic knife .I collect Knives ,Not the extrem High end but avarage mans knife. Being very disappointed the past few years where Knife companys only made knives in the USA ,like Buck and Gerber,Kershaw now have some made in China. You won't be disappointed ,Simple wood handle, good steel ,very nicly ground ,nice desine ,comes sharp.

Pretty much. Same steel, same blade length. Blade angle is probably the same. There might be a difference in blade thickness (Amazon says the BK-10 blade is 0.188" thick, but doesn't give the thickness of the BK-2). The BK-2 does have a drop point, but the BK-10's is much more aggressive, and the contouring gives it more of a spear-point shape. The BK-10 is essentially a shortened BK-7.

Hi, The bk10 is a clip point type with a thumb ramp on the blade top. The bk2 is a drop point type, thicker, so it's got more weight. Hope this helps.

You can see the BK 24 at http://clickittogetit.com/images/products/m/bk24_w_handle.jpg. This is a picture of the BK 24 with a handle attached but it is the same knife and gives you a since of the size. Glen from Camping Stuff

I dont own a bk 10 but I do have a bk2 which has the same handle design and the handle ergonomics are much better than the rat5. As far as the blade itself I really couldnt tell you. If you cant get your hands on both to get a feel for them before purchasing one or the other Id say just watch as many youtube reviews as you can on the both of them.

I think the handle on the bk14 is a little bit more comfortable, but the bk11 has more features like the bottle opener and wire breaker, but the bk14 is better for longer cutting tasks.

it's got the shape and style of a Ka-Bar but it has some features that make it a "cut" above (excuse the pun!)! The handle is more ergonomically shaped and grips better, the pommel is a solid steel disk shaped cap that can be used as a hammer. Also there is a finger guard where the handle meets the blade that is curved away from your hand which is a very handy improvement. I looked at both and Cold Steel has it beat in my opininon. Oh....the kydex sheath the Leather Neck comes in is awewome! Securely holds the knife with a "click" when not in use. Also has slots that can be used to lash it at any angle to a belt or shoulder harness. it's got the shape and style of a Ka-Bar but it has some features that make it a "cut" above (excuse the pun!)!

I just purchased the knife 1/10/13 and it is the gen2 model. Amazon should update the title so customers aren't confused.

I don't have the plus, but I think that this is a newer model with some additional 'ease of use' functions like the push button adjustable blade. I would think that they both slice the same, but I don't know how many people would own both to know.

Kbar has a hilt, SRK doesnt. Kbar has a longer more Bowie style blade. SRK grip is an excellent textured rubber providing great grip. Kbar is leather. Both sharp right out of the box. Kbar has a leather sheath. SRK has an excellent kydex sheath. ill twist ur arm an say skip the typical kbar and check out "becker bk7". Kbar bought becker and that is more of a match or comparison to the SRK. The SRK will NOT let u down. I own both the SRK and bk7. My right hand man rocks a kbar so its also personal preference or style.

I own both. I prefer the BK2. I don't think anyone would dispute the differences in terms of quality. That being said the Schrade is really quite nice for the money. This Schrade is full tang .25" thick 1095 steel. Really can't go wrong for $40 bucks.

The BK2 I just received from Amazon is the new version with pommel and new style sheath.

Yes they are. The 22 designation is simply because it has a different sheath that keeps it from being dulled while its pulled out. i would do a search for bk-2(2) custom scales through google. You can typically find people who sell them as this is a well modded knife due to its steel, 1095 a high carbon great for large camp knifes and survivals knives, and its (relatively) cheap cost.
