    That BK16 is a nice shaped blade, is it d2 or 1095. pretty good reliable steel, easy to sharpen. Have a look also at Topsknives if you particulary like 1095 steel.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Beckers are mostly 1095. But I see that the BK24 is D2. Good value middle of the road sort of knives. You can bring them in from the US for peanuts.

    Middle of the road , NOT in my world they ( BK ) , I think they are as expensive as you want or should go , at close to or more than a hundred for say the 7,9 & 16 .
    To me a knife should be a simple bit of kit compared to say a firearm , so when I see prices of close to 400 USD , thats just insane , as at that price point you can get a nice firearm in the USA .

    If you want expensive look at buying a knife made from VG-10 steel or S30V.. But you get what you pay for. Nothing wrong with BK knives mate, D2 and 1095 is more than enough steel quality.

    Becker knives, which I think may be now owned by kabar, are strong knives but do not use high end materials which help keep the price down, the bk24 uses D2 steel, which is a very interesting steel not quite carbon, not quite stainless, it will rust in NZ unless oiled or waxed, it is also a collaboration between ESEE and Becker, with the izula handle and a bk blade, if you like it consider an izula s the have an amazing warranty-break it the replace it- no matter what.

    However the bk24 is not very useful as a main blade, too small, if you want a blade that small I would suggest a Svord edc hiker model for a lot less and similar but nz made.

    But before I can really help I would need to know what you want it for and what uses it will perform...
