I have 2 of the becker Campanions. I bought them for the purpose of haveing a heavy duty blade that could chop, slice and be a weapon if need be that would take the abuse and keep on going. One of them I moded to house survival items in the handle like snare wire, small hooks, sparking steel. etc.

I have used it to baton through wet wood for kindling and also to cut threw a small log by using a baton and going all around the diamiter of the log while batoning and it neaver failed.

The other is new still in the box as this one was going into my wifes car but now shes my X so she didnt get it.

As far a using it to slice food thats what I use my SAK for or you could get a cheap mora that will do the job.

As for the price any of the beckers are hard to beat for the money. My next becke rwill be the becker-necker.
