Did a lot of research before deciding on the BK10 over the BK2/22 I had purchased the BK9 earlier and like the thumb rest and the ballistic nylon sheath, the front pocket fits a fire starter and a sharpener with ease. The quality is unmatched and is sharpened as much as possible right out of the box. A Very strong solid knife with good weight for bush crafting. I like the scales that come on the knife as well and cannot understand the need to change them. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
