      I bought three different models because I don't think we're going to get anything at this price point unless it's Chinese garbage.
      I haven't seen a good knife this cheap in Canada since the Glock 78.
      Those are more than doubled in price now.
      These knives will rise in price soon but not yet

    I purchased this knife last week. I agree 100% with your review. It's not my first BPS buy and I'm liking them more and more. I can't say enough good things about the "Adventurer". The sheath is exactly what you said...top line stuff (the Morakniv "Pathfinder" with a 6 5/8" blade fits the sheath very well). The fact that it comes from the Ukraine is an added bonus for me personally .... I DETEST buying ANYTHING from china ...period.

    Hello, Mr. Young;
    I ordered one Oct. 30, 2022 for $39.99 from amazon, received it Nov. 07.
    You're right, it is a great knife.
    I'm don't like expensive anything so $40 (+tax) is absolutely great AND it is really sharp, too.
    I have a Morakniv Craftline Basic 511 I paid $9.99 (+tax, amazon).
    It's a nice little knife but it's not as sharp & just not as much knife as my BPS.
    I also have a Schrade SCHF56L Large Frontier 9.1in, $29.42 (+tax, amazon).
    It's pretty heavy so when I carry it I put it in bag w/ a shoulder strap.
    The Schrade is a good knife but it's just another 'inexpensive' knife, not the knife the BPS is.
    Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

      Has it shown any rust? It doesn't have a darkening patina yet, I just wonder why it hasn't cured in color yet. When I get one I will accelerate patina to it with some cider vinegar. Likely stain the handles with some leather boot shine. Give it some artificial aging.

    I have this knife and can highly recommend it. Very affordable, but requires a bit of finishing. I removed the handle, lightly fine sanded the wood and added some dark stain (personal preference). Coated with Linseed oil. I added cold blue to the complete blade and tang with the exception of a fine taped area on blade edge. Also added cord to ferrocerrium rod. Total cost plus about twenty us dollars for stain and cold blue. Added some Mink Oil on leather sheath, which as you stated alone is worth total price. Compares now with $200-300 knives I own, but with some of my personalization. Peace

    It’s funny how nowadays marketing has people looking for certain steels. What makes it funny is they don’t understand toughness is much more important then edge retention. Marketing has people convinced then need the latest and greatest super steel. What many don’t know is most steels are over 20 years old.
    1066, 1070 are amazing steels very tough yet easy to sharpen. The higher the carbon the more chance for being brittle. I prefer a tough knife that’s easy to sharpen.
    Maybe I should explain toughness in steel. I was taught it’s how much abuse a steel can take before it fractures. It’s much easier to fix a roll versus a chip.
    I’ve had this knife more then a year it’s a very good outdoor knife. They also have a flat ground model that’s more everyday useful. Any way my comment was made to help people realize steel is just a small part of knife. This knife is a great choice for many reasons.
    I’d just like to help people understand the knife companies use marketing to confuse people. Then for some reason I don’t understand people will argue about a brand. They won’t admit that the extra price doesn’t have a reason other then profit. Anyway my point is expensive doesn’t mean better, the latest steel doesn’t mean the best. Just look up m390, now it’s something else. Usually they are brittle and hard to sharpen.
    I hope this helps someone, but really buy what makes you happy. Don’t worry about the latest greatest or made by such and such.
    Very nice video

    I just purchased the BPS Knives BS1FTS. It is a very good small knife. Haven't used it outside, but it works great in the Kitchen. I will buy at least one more of theirs. As for the sheath. I gave mine a good coat of Boiled Linseed oil, inside and out. Knife fits better, plus the leather sheath is now water proofed. Elm has the worst grain for splitting. I used to bury wedges in 8 foot long Elm logs, back when I was helping my Dad cut wood for his fireplace.

    Thanks for the great review.
    Funny story I was thinking of getting a bushcraft knife last week and had decided on getting a mora bushcraft black because it was reasonably cheaper than other bushcraft knives at around 60 dollars and had good reviews online. So I said I'd wait and think about it but I was pretty sure I'd get that one.And then today you post this video about a knife that seems way better than the mora bushcraft for about 10-20 dollars cheaper and now I'm happy I waited before buying one instead of waisting the money. Thank you
    Edit:I seen you have a video on mora knives and I'm wondering in your opinion for a first bushcraft knife should I get the mora bushcraftblack or bps adventure?

      Knives are such a personal choice. I personally very much like the Mora Bushcraft Black. I am currently testing the Mora Garberg but I still feel the Bushcraft Black is a better knife. BPS are good knives but not quite as good as Mora, especially the Bushcraft Black. Thanks for commenting

    You should try the Savage next! I have 4 of their knives the Savage, adventurer, hk5 and the little 15 dollar one. The full flat grind on the Savage makes for one hell of a good cutter. Seriously worth the 35 dollars now. Back when I bought them like a year and a few months ago I paid like 28 each for the more expensive 3 and 14 or 15 for the little scandi.

    After a light sanding of the scales with a sanding sponge, and putting loctite on the allen screws (screws don't come with any), and a coating of boiled linseed oil, this is a great knife. All of that took maybe 3 minutes of work. Unbeatable for the price!

    I have three bps knives now--and can't see a need for anything else. One is much like the Mora Companion, but with a nicer handle and sheath. And the BPs Savage is in a totally different catagory--a wider blade with a full flat grind that is a pleasure for food prep! And very elegant! The Scandi grind and a thick blade is not ideal for cutting vegetables.

    Yes they are great knives. I have the BPS Savage and as far as the grip is concerned, adding a liner will make it have a bit more girth. As for the finish, you can always sand down the handle with 1000 or 2000 grit sand paper. What I did to mine is I used gun blue on the entire blade to prevent corrosion. I love my BPS knife.

    Maybe I just got a bad one but here is the evaluation on mine. I guess we start with the rust. It isn't just surface rust. There is pitting. It's not in a critical area along the edge. It's mostly on the spine so I'm just going to deal with it since I didn't pay a lot for this knife. Next the edge is not a true scandi grind. It has a micro bevel at the very edge like the Mora I bought. Big thing here is the scandi grind isn't even on each side of the blade (angle is different on one side from the other - this will probably take a lot of work to fix - haven sharpened it yet so can't say for sure). It's full tang and the scales are not well fitted so I need to do some work to smooth out the sharp edges of the steel where it sticks out of the wood. The wood feels open? (porous) Specifications on the knife say it's been treated with danish oil? I'm going to sand it and apply BLO. 11/1 update. Was working some pine Saturday and it did fine on that, peeled off nice feathers. Was batoning some red oak plank sections that varied in thickness from 3/4 to 1/2 inch thick by about 12 inches long Sunday and the blade chipped. One small one maybe 1/2 mm by 1/2 mm. 11/2 update I put it to the stone last night to start working the chip out. Used a Buck soft Arkansas stone (been my go to for this kind of thing for 45 years). It was like rubbing two pieces of smooth glass against one another. Stayed at it for about 2 hours and got maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of the nick out. This knife has some hard steel. I expect it will really hold an edge but need to be careful with it and figure out something else for sharpening this one. Upgraded from 2 to 3 stars. Dropped the rating to one star. Feathered some pine the other night and the edge rolled. WTF? The only thing good I can say about this is if you set it on top of some papers it might keep them from blowing away. It will shave the hair off your arm, but it won't cut much more than that, razors are a lot less expensive.

    1066 is less likely to chip than 1095, it’s easier to sharpen than 1095 but doesn’t hold an edge as good 1095. But 1095 is harder to sharpen but will hold an edge better. Depends on what your needs are

    I bought my Adventurer about a year and a half ago, for a mere $30, through Amazon. Best blade money I have ever spent. Recieved a smaller one last Christmas, as a present, and it has been part of my EDC since then. On my hip right now, in fact.
    It's my understanding that BPS are, of course, also supplying the Ukrainian military with the Adventurer model. I've not personally confirmed that, but I see no reason to doubt it.
    I have to admit that I was also surprised by the quality of the ferro rod that comes with it. So often, the ones that come with knives are not of such good quality.

    I would take the Mora heavy duty over this knife. The handle scales will loosen, and rust will get under the scales, and the leather sheath will crack if not treated. So for less headache and just as good a knife, if not better, go for the Mora; but my heart goes out to Ukraine and its nice to support a company there.

    I just bought the knife. As I unboxed it I was so excited to have sheath house a ferro rod on the side because I’ve never had a sheath like that. Well putting the ferro rod into the loop was damn near impossible and even more impossible to take back out. I was very disappointed. Any suggestion how to loosen that loop?

    • @MarkYoungBushcraft
      @MarkYoungBushcraft  ปีที่แล้ว

      Try wetting (very wet) the ferro-rod loop with water, then try inserting the rod. You may need to use something else to stretch it first. Once you get the rod in, leave it and let the sheath dry. It will hold the new shape after that. Remember, as you use the rod, it will get smaller. The bungee will help it from dropping out. Hope this helps

      Condor Tool & Knife, Bushlore Camp Knife is about $10 more than BPS, but it's worth the extra money to get the 1095 steel.. I paid $25 dollars for mine a year ago..
      By the way I'm a retired Meat Manager of 33 years, I know my steel, and I make all of my own knives. I get a blank of 1095 for $20 that will make 3 knives w/ 6 inch blades. I hand forge from truck leaf springs (5160) for heavy knives & axes..
