I feel a bit like I'm butting in, since I don't own the knife in question.But I've seen and held most Gerber knives, and I don't like their mettle much, as they feel too cheap, and I've had them break on me. So, I'm going to chime in with a suggestion for another knife company.
If you want inexpensive, yet still fantastic, check out Morakniv.
I've used the HighQ Rubust, the Companion, and currently carry the Mora Bushcraft Triflex Carbon Steel Knife:

I highly recommend their knives, they hold an edge well, sharpen easily, and one never has to hold back with using their tools in rough spots - of its damaged, it is replaced at a low cost.
I have the esee 5 (very similar to the BK2) and it is a big bad boy. the quarter inch thick makes it a beast at spliting via batoning or chopping. down side... it has a big fat edge that can kinda feel bulky when doing finer work... Honestly, I would look into a cheaper (yet very good blades) like a Mora or a Condor Bushlore... my pick would be the bushlore b/c of the grind and full tang but Moras are very good.
Then from there after using those blades a lot you'll get an idea of what you really want in your next blade.
I know I'm late to the game, but here's my contribution.
I do and have used a Mora, actually the same exact knife, essentially as my only fixed blade for about five years (with a backup when I go out alone); the first year as a student at a survival school and the next four as an instructor. My school sells and recommends Moras as well, so I've seen a lot of them and a lot of other knives and I've seen a lot of abuse. I've never seen a Mora break, but I've seen other knives break (Buck, specifically). Recently I've begun carrying another knife that someone made for me as well with my Mora as my backup. Here are my thoughts on your questions:

It is similar to this Gerber folder. I find that the edge retention leave a little to be desired, and I know there is alot of hate on Gerber Knives, but this one has taken a beating with me for a long time and does the job when it comes to mundane tasks.
I also keep a Mora Knife in my Lunch/EDC Bag, should I actually need a good sharp knife. Haven't needed it yet. Use it everyday if I'm camping.
