Thank you for supporting Ukrainian knife makers!!
Anytime. If they keep this up, Ukrainian knives will beat the sweedish knives for sure
@@shawnpepin7890 I think they will! Our soldiers need more quality knives. We have some more interesting knife makers)
Glory to Ukraine!!! Thanks for review 🇺🇦🤝🏻🇺🇲💪🏻
Btw good for you for supporting these awesome knives and this awesome company.
I’m the same as far as starting with tons of Mora knives but BPS has now seen me through several storms (literally) whole outdoors and having to make a quick shelter. I’m pretty shocked too by how well the steel held up. Was really afraid of rust, but using my Tuff cloth (blade) and Kurobara Japanese oil on the scales and tang (darkens and protects the wood as well as the steel, very good stuff)
Great for supporting them. Last email I got from them was about the shelling going around and how they’ve had to abandon the factory. Trying to buy as much as I can and sure hoping the money get to them.
My HK1S arrived today, absolutely in love, mirror finish, love the jimping on the top of the blade for my thumb to rest.
You simply cannot go wrong with BPS Knives ❤️
It's by far their nicest design. That and the savage are my most used
I am also a big fan of BPS knives!
They are by far my favorite knife company. They are like laser beams with their hand finished slightly convexed edges. Just ordered 2 of their new model , they hk4 (4 inch full flat grind) and am super excited to try ot out. Expect a full review of it and an update on my collection as I have about 20nof their blades now
@@shawnpepin7890 I have many BPS knives. haha. and for my bushcraft camping, I usually bring HK5s. you can see my review on youtube. It's recorded in Korean, but you can understand it with video only without my Korean explanation. ;P th-cam.com/video/WylJhCjZsGE/w-d-xo.html
😎 alright, alright, alright...
Love your company, products and customer service... just the best
Big fan of these guys. Own all them. Foundvthem about a year ago. Cannot beat the value. My favorite us the b1 bushcraft copy of the Bushlore. Great video.
Badass collection, sir.
I just found out out this brand. I was definitely sleeping on them.
I'm amazed on the value and quality( especially with the sheath).
Thanks man, and yeah, I still can’t believe how nice they are for the money.. mora and opinel were the king of budget for me until I got my first bps, now I have 15 and am modifying them to suit my needs.. keep an eye of for my bs1 mod that I will be doing.. turning it from a scandi to a full flat convex (similar to an opinel) on my bench grinder... I want a slicey bps full flat
@@shawnpepin7890 badass .
Mines coming in the mail! Got the Adventurer 🤙🏻 again it was a very weird process but I’ll let you know the end result!
@@USMCarter awesome!! Yeah, I’m about to make an order as they just added a new model. “the savage” it’s called.. probably going to get 2 because I always do, but it their first full flat grind they’ve done on a larger knife and am exited to see how it compares to the deadly scandi grinds they’ve gotten down so well
@@shawnpepin7890 ooooh excellent! A lot of their stuff is back in stock on Amazon as well! Their “portable” sharpening stone kit worth the money? I do need a good set for on the go/ none shop (or garage) setting.
A million great knives out there. I keep circling back to the Mora, Companion, HD. Or maybe the Condor, Bushlore. Ok, Joker and Esee are good. Now BPS. Back where I started from. I can see how people end up with 20 or more knives.
These knives are great! Just picked up my first, an Adventurer, and I am blown away by how much knife (and sheath) you get from BPS for the money. Nice collection, bud.
Thanks my friend, it has grown since then. I've added a hk4 (4 inch full flat with a handle like the hk5) and a savage. I have way too many bps knives, but I love the company so much that I feel the need to buy almost every one of their products. I even have their sharpening kit
NICE!! I love bush style knives!!!! Great collection keep adding and growing!
Im currently living in the Philippines and I have a blacksmith friend, I’ve had him make three Kephart knives very close to the original , now I’m having him make a miniature Kephart for my son , he’ll be six years old soon, cool collection thanks for posting 👍😁
Nice collection! I'm not sure how available they are at the moment (I'm pretty sure I bought two of the last four available in the entire county a few weeks ago), but if you find one, definitely pick up a MK1S "Mushroom knife". Nice little knife, similar to the Mora Eldris but with a wood handle.
My favorite is the HK1S but I tend to use the Bps 1S most of the time for like a everyday fixed blade. Its light and full tang .🦉
Yeah, the hk1s is absolutely stunning, but for overall usefulness, my favorites are the ones that have the mora like blade profile, the BS3FTS and the rat tail bs1s
If mora and condor had a baby ,you have bps .Great company
Tnx.
Hello from Bakhmut...
If you haven't already, you should check out the BS2FT. It's an inch longer in the handle and blade that the BS1FT. I think people assume it's the BS1FT and pass it by without checking its specs. It's a cheap, tough as nails, modern day Kephart knife.
I reviewed that already, but thanks for the recommendation. I did w bs1 and a bs2 fts review together. Check out my other videos
The benchmade skinner blank is $15 on Amazon. Ima bout to get that one and make some scales for it.
Awesome.. I’ve been eyeing that blank . I would love to see a picture or video of the finished product
Nice 6 month collection sir 👍 - I'm looking to pick up the Adventurer- - subin and likin
Thanks my friend, look forward to some new video I’m in the process of making
I just got an HK5 in the mail yesterday. Holy smokes it was sharp. By far the sharpest I knife has been from the factory. I will get more.
Its absolutely crazy how good their finished factory edge is... I make, sharpen and restore knives as a side business and I would have to charge 20 or 30 bucks to give a customer that kind of finish on a scandi grind. Whoever is doing their finishing work deserves a heck of a salary
@@shawnpepin7890 way better edge than my Cold Steel Master Hunter had. Don’t get me wrong I love my MH. lol
Bummer I wish mine came in that black leather with the pattern on it, that’s actually a very premium leather over the others.
They have the best customer service too. Will reply to emails fast. Even though low cost, the HK5 & Adventurer are my favorites. They and More are all I get now since I already have some good long blades for survival and such.
To tell the truth though..I’d trust my survival with a Mora or a BPS. My KaBar BK2 & ESEE in the backpack don’t hurt either.
I’m very glad to see BPS getting the recognition they deserve.
Me too, I have many knives, but always seem to reach for my bps or mora because I’m not afraid to use those tools properly.. once a knife goes beyond 100 dollars, I get a little gentler with them.
It is true. Excellent customer service via email.
Where would I buy replacements for the HK5 scales? Ive been unable to find any of that size. May I ask how you got that excellent and smooth finish on that other one? Thanks
I'm not sure about replacement scales... bps would probably sell them to you if you contacted them, the seem very accommodating. As for the smooth scales I sanded, stained, and then coated with some spay on polyurethane (clear coat) and then gave a light sanding after so that it wasn't too slick... I have done a few mods to that knife since. So much so that I am planning an update video
The one that looks like a condor is the most used bps knife I own out of the 4 different ones that I have. The only thing that I'm not happy with is that its blad edge does not go all the way to its handle.
My favourite BPS knife is the HD1. It is comparable withe the Bushlore except it's 4mm D2. Its made only occasionally so you have to watch for it although having dealt directly with BPS, I'd suggest sending them an email.
Wait, bps uses other steel,than 1066? I have yet to get their stainless knives due to the 5cr usage, but would love to see what the can do with D2...
@@shawnpepin7890 not sure how to post a picture in the comments section.
I found you on FB I've posted a picture there.
Great Vid ! Would like to hear the MSRP on the Knives TY ...
They range between 24.99-44.99 Canadian... they are a little cheaper if you order directly from Bps , but their unkraine shipping can be very slow
@@shawnpepin7890 Ok tks ,Just got to fig how Us currency compares to Canadian money .. TKS again !
Glory to Ukraine!!!! Thanks for review 🇺🇦🤝🏻🇺🇲💪🏻
Why? Because Foux said so? Politics have polluted everything.
@@christophercole9360 l don't understand you
@@user-punicher yes you do.
So , your a Nazi.
@@christophercole9360Look at another "politics has polluted everything" guy. It would be very interesting to hear what you would say if your house was blown away by half a ton of "politics" equivalent to TNT.
When you're buying these it's really luck of the draw. Had to return 2 of them because they came rusted.
I've gotten 3 BPS knives. I have Esee's, LT Wright's , Battle horse knives, tops, and several other much more expensive blades. The BPS knives are as good if not better. Fantastic leather sheaths. The BPS basic with the rat tail tang I broke about 4 months after I got it. Chucked the knife can't complain the sheath was worth far more than the 16 dollars I paid for it on Amazon. Nice collection great video
Yeah, those rat rail designs have had some serious issues. I have a couple blanks with the same design and I'm hesitant to make more knives from them due to the complaints. Their full tangs though, are super stout and have yet to break or damage any, and I've been trying lol
Thier machine sharpened and hand finished soft sanding that's why they are super sharp
That makes sense. Would love If bps could release a video of their factory so we could see for sure how they make them and see what their work flow is like
New subscriber here. Your voice is just fine.
Question. Which of your knives on the table, would you suggest for filleting a 1 to 2 lb fish?
Thanks man, I appreciate the confidence boost 😀. I would suggest the bs3fts (full tang mora like one) as the drop point gives you a nice tip for smaller fish
Thank you. I’ll check it out.
A Rapala filet knife.
@Denis M well considering he was talking about the knives on the table, and I don't see a crappala anywhere, I don't know why you would say that...
Very very nice collection !
You beat the whole Bushcraft community in discovering what awesome value this company is 👍😆
Might have been better to film during nap time tho'....😩
I wish... getting my 3 kids to nap and or be quiet in unison is a big ask... I've been thinking about doing an updated video of my bps collection because it's doubled in size and is by far my most popular video. This company is the reason I started making youtube videos. I picked one up, and couldn't find any information or reviews on youtube, so I figured I would fix that 😊
I don't think you mentioned that they have a 90° spine. So they throw great sparks from a ferro rod!
I did not... the spines are incredibly sharp.. I actually had to file down and smooth the spine on my bs3fts because it was too sharp to use as a carving knife from factory
I got the Garberg recently,then found these...and am buying the shit out of these knives.and they are wicked sharp.they are beautiful.
I honestly have more than enough knives, but every time I see a new bps model, I just have to get it.. partially out of support for the company, and partially to see how they are evolving and maintaining. Honestly, I suspect there prices will be going up, and I am OK with that
Mine is at two and growing.
Oh I remember those days...I actually plan on doing an update video because I have so many more now.. have their new kiridashi knife en route and after that will probably do a whole knife collection (not just bps) as it's kinda ridiculous just how many I have. Plus this being my most popular video by far, I'm guessing people like it
Morakniv doesn’t use 1095 as you said. Mostly Sandvik 12C27, 14C28, 13C26.
Yes they use 12c27 in their stainless and 14c28n in one model the garberg, but they have carbon models that use a 1090 or equivalent steel and other carbons that use a 1095/1040 laminated steel... never heard of them using 13c26, at least in their current models... you need to do a little more research before commenting
Looks like you’re missing the savage.. their best model!
I have 2 of them , as well as the hk4 and kiridashi … check out my review
The savage wasn’t released when I made this, I think I had the first review on TH-cam for it :)
such a cute sounding kid...lol he sounds small
That was probably my middle... I have 3 ... my oldest is 7, then 2, and I have a 2 month old as well which is why I haven’t uploaded in the past couple months. Just filmed my first video in awhile yesterday, and it should be uploaded soon. It will be about the bps savage and their sharpening kit
Nice collection. Just got my 1st one today. There is free trade between Canada and Ukraine some new law. Everything's sure change since you made this video one year ago. It's so sad.
Everyone makes the same mistake on the BPS bushlore knife. It's not a Condor Bushlore, it's a Ray Mears Wood lore clone. Don't believe me, go to their website and read what they say.
Well I’m sure the ray mears knife was based on existing designs... that just how we as a human race work, we build on what others have proven. But yes, the condor was based on existing knife designs
Has anyone ever preferred from their website?? I just tried to order a knife and it didn’t even have me put in payment info and sent me an email saying my order was confirmed and they’d send an email for billing lol it doesn’t make much sense
Yeah, their website is a little backwards... you have to follow an link in the confirmation email, and there is a payment section there... after that I do believe they will send you one final paid In full email
@@shawnpepin7890 appreciate the reply! I’ll try and find said link in that email 😂 trying to snag the Adventurer knife since it seems to be a hard knife to get your hands on.
@@USMCarter it’s one of the few I don’t have. Would love to get my hands on it, but I think my wife will kill me if I get another one... have to ween down my collection a little before I buy some more
@@shawnpepin7890 just give her the usual oh babe I’ve always had this one! 😂
@@USMCarter I totally got confused in my last reply. I do have the adventurer.. it’s in this video.. wow.. you know you have to many knives when you forget what you have
Your handle looks great....the sheath, not so much!
The sheath is absolutely terrible, just glued up a piece of leather so it doesn't get banged around in the ol' knife bag... you should check out my newer custom knife videos. Been much more into handle making than knife buying lately, and would love people opinions
I want to order some direct from BPS, can't think of a better way to support Ukraine than to keep busness going over there. Would love to know the brand and color name of the finish you use as it looks amazing! Got my eye on a Raven and then some carbon bushcraft models.
I have not been buying knives that much lately, been to into making my own, but will always buy a new bps model when they come up. The hk4 is the last model I got (got 2 of them on eBay) just to support them. I would do it even if they weren’t In a war, but have to agree with you, that supporting a business is a much better way of helping than just donating to random places
No, I want to collect All the BPS knives.
I'm almost there. Just picked up a hk4 , full flat 4 inch blade. Will be doing a review on it soon. Just gotta get a little more time on it.. I'm expecting bps to be having great sales after the DBK review
The worst habit to have a knife addiction it gets exspensive trust me just get stuff to make your own
Check out my newer videos, that where I went 😀
1066 is not a high carbon steel. It is 0.66% carbon. 0.50% is generally considered the minimum carbon content so 0.66% Is at best, a medium carbon.
Well no… a 1030 for example is a low carbon, mild steel, and anything above .60% carbon is considered a high carbon steel. Would you question if condors 1070 is high carbon, and this is only .04 off of that… just look it up if you don’t trust me. So yes this is a high carbon steel
@@shawnpepin7890 mild steels are 1013 & 1018 or 0.13 & 0.18 carbon respectively. 0.50 is generally considered the minimum carbon content for any hardening steel.
Lower than 0.50 simply wont harden enough to make tools unless there are significant alloying elements added.
@@andrewmcgibbon9785 well yes, but just because 1050 is generally the lowest carbon you would want for a tool steel, doesn’t not mean that 1066 is not considered “‘high carbon” steel .. it’s very easy to look up . anything under 1030 is Low carbon, 1030-1060 is mid carbon and anything over 1060 is high carbon.. just because you wouldn’t consider it a high carbon does not mean that the definition has changed
Good review but your tired voice style got me tired in a couple of minutes.😞
Dude, I have 3 kids… I’m always tired
No.1 No Glory for Ukraine 🇺🇦,I am not interested in politics and wars...
No.2 BPS knives are good decent solid knives,they are not expensive,sheaths are awesome,would I recommend,,,Yes 100%,,I just want Adventurer in my collection,maybe one day...
Я не бачу в вас hk4 )))
Yeah, it's not really a collection unless you have "every" one
Lol, I know... I'm getting there 😆.. have their new kiridashi en route, unfortunately shipping from Ukraine is crazy slow right now, and it's been in limbo for weeks
😡 this video made me buy a HK5 😂😂
Check out the hk4 and hk6 newly available on eBay, and if you like the hk5, you love that
@@shawnpepin7890 awesome will do
A nicely presented overview, however your voice is rather grating. I think you could change that with very little effort.
Well thanks for the comment... 3 kids (7y old, 1.5, year old, and a 2month old) will make you voice sound more tired lol... I will work on my speaking
First tought after 15 seconds.
Wow. He's not a professional. TH-cam is an amateur channel. Don't like amateurs being amateurs... That's the most Caucasian male privileged classist colonizer crap I've seen in a while.
It’s called “vocal fry.” It’s a habit, and it will eventually damage the vocal folds. It seems common among younger Americans these days.
Sounds like your about to burst into tears.
Коллекция одинаковых ножей! Ниочем.
what's the point to have so many knives? like I understand swords or something like that but these all seem pretty similar and there's no value in hanging onto these.
Well I see value in a good tool at a great price.. I think collecting swords is crazy.. who uses swords for anything practical these days (but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want one lol). These are all great tools that I can know share with others if I feel the need to ( I have already given away 3 of these to friends and family) and all for the price of 1 $300 dollar knife . Anyways thanks for watching and have a great day
To Sean B -Some folks collect stamps some folks collect baseball cards or knives and swords. It's all arbitrary. You collect what you like and have a passion for regardless of others opinions or your empty words on the matter
@@Katana-Karl genuine question there Karl.
Thanks for the video. I had no idea BPS made this many different knives. I'm only seeing a few on Amazon. The one that looks like the Bushlore is actually a standard bushcraft blade shape. Joe Flowers openly & notoriously brags about plagiarizing the knife designs/intellectual technology of indigenous peoples. White male privileged patriarchal heterodominant power construct from colonization (stealing of indigenous peoples land, natural resources and technologies) makes it no big deal. So, BPS didn't clone a Condor. Condor is cloning the knife designs of indigenous peoples.
You sound fine. You're not supposed to sound like Morgan Freeman who's had millions of dollars worth of public speaking training. This is your private amateur TH-cam channel. After a while you will probably get your own flow. You've got your kids there so you are trying to keep an eye in them and make a video. This is basic common sense that you're not going to sound like Richard Attinburough or however it's spelled. Classism affects everyone. Not just indigenous peoples like myself still branded with the name of the plantation slave masterswho owned my Native American great grandparents as slaves. Classist jerks Crack whips at everyone. Hence the 99%.
These are so trash compared to Varustekala, Morakniv/Bahco, Ontario knives, and Hultafors.....
You're welcome to your opinion, but you're just plain wrong... I have all 3 skramas, and Jakari pukkoos , over 20 moras, and a few hultafors.. they are not as tough as a jakari pukkoo, but easily better than the hultafors, and on par with mora ... I really doubt you even own a bps with that kind of remark... they by far have the best geometry/factory edge I have ever gotten on a blade, let alone one that cost less than 40 buck's...
@@shawnpepin7890 yes better than knives that actually canot be destroyed. BPS look like outdated kitchen knives, aesthetically worse than any mora. They didn't reinvent the wheel with their geometry either it's any typical blade. Garbage soft steel
@@escapetherace1943 you clearly haven’t owned one because the steel is awesome, and 58-59hrc is far from soft. If your only measure for a knife is weather you can destroy it or not by abusing it, than I don’t think you really know what knives are for. The hand finished slightly convexed scandi grinds on these put all those companies you mentioned to shame (i know, because I own many from all those companies) and your clear biased towards what I’m guessing are knives you already own and like shows that your not really a thinker, just a tribalist … instead of trying to tear down a good product to help justify your purchases and preferences, open your eyes and step out of your comfort zone and try something new… or you can just cruise small channels spouting ignorance. It’s your life after all. I dont mind, as more comments just help my channel anyways, and helps shed light on this awesome company
@@shawnpepin7890 spew it out all you want, they're hideous and uncomfortable and beaten out by competitors at a cheaper price! Period, fact!
@@escapetherace1943your entitled to your ignorant opinion… a person like you doesn’t deserve a knife this nice
