I thought I'd mention that a while ago I had posted on a Becker Knife & Tool specific forum that I would LOVE to see Becker come out with a BK2 with a thinner blade - such as the 0.188 used on their other knives. The reaction from the forum was surprisingly in the favor.

My thinking was that I like the smaller BK16, but its handle is just too small to comfortably fit my hand. I like the larger BK2, BK7, ... handle much better.

I think I'd rather see the thinner 0.188" thick, 5.25" long BK2 blade on the big Becker handle than a 0.165" thick, 4.375" long BK16 blade on the big Becker handle.
