- In this video I test two knives from the Ukraine. The BPS B1 and the BeaverCraft BSH3. Both bushcraft knives are under 50 dollars. I will do betoning, feather sticks and more.
Greetings Wim
Thanks to Boaz for helping with the filming.
To name a view has to be a few (stupid mistake) at the end of the video.
I have a BPS adventurer which I like more than my Mora garberg. Wooden handles and leather sheaths verses plastic handles and plastic sheaths. The nice thing is that BPS has a real scandi grind. Even my Mora garberg has a secondary bevel. Which was a turn off when I finally got one. The polished finish probably makes it easier to split through wood, less drag than even the Condor. I have Beavercraft strops which are excellent and they make lots of great wood carving knives. I think Beavercraft is better at making wood carving utensils not so much large knives, although I have not checked their catalog recently. Beavercraft also makes just plain leather strops which are not attached to Wood and I keep one in my backpack. For me these two companies together make a good combination one for knives and one for keeping my knives sharp. Canada. Very sad for Ukraine.
To me a "true" scandi will chip under hard use. So I always put a secondary level on my bush knives.
Приємно що ножі які виробляють в моїй країні знайшли стільки хороших відгуків у Світі.
Якщо ви робите хороший продукт за хорошу ціну, інакше навряд чи може бути.

The strap is meant to go through the belt loop, which will keep it from getting in the way of actually being worn on a belt. I have and use both these knives, and I very much enjoy them both but do admit the BPS performs a bit better thanks to the higher grind and thus better edge angle.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks. And I’m thankful that I got the bps knife. Mora was my second choice,but I like the look of wood more. Nice to have my purchase justified. Thanks
Awesome review, thanks for the side by side. I have a BPS B1 SSH (stainless steel version) that i really like. I was considering the BeaverCraft, because, well, you can never have too many knives, lol. But after watching your review, it just doesn't seem worth it. Thanks again for the video!
Thanks, I know people put a scandi on the blade that works better. But you might as wel get an other BPS....:)
I have the beavercraft bsh1 and it's a great knife. It has a different sheath with great retention and tip doesn't quite hit the bottom. I can turn it upside down and shake it and it won't fall out at all. Holds a great edge and very ergonomic handle.i believe it's a 4.9 inch blade and a full 8th inch thick. I love that knife. I believe it was 31$ when I ordered it on amazon
Great reviews of these 2 knives. Many thanks.
Thank you very much, now i know which one to choose!
Very good review. I am now a subsciber. Gonna be checking out your videos
Thanks appreciated! Joker Ember vs Bushlore coming up soon......
I'm hooked on huang fu knives can't beat the price or the quality
1066 steel. A bit soft. These knives look like the Condor Bushlore, which is much harder steel at 1075. LionSteel is 1095, probably too hard and brittle.
Lion steel is m390
You'd be surprised. My beavercraft holds an amazing edge and I abuse the hell out of that knife. Sharpens scary sharp with very little effort. I was a bit skeptical myself but it's proven itself 100x over
Just like the bluing on the Beavercraft. The sheath will be handled with kid gloves. Seem like there were issues with the featherstickerer not necessarily the knives.
I wouldn't hit the back of the knife where the handle scales are, you will break them eventually.
May be bsh 3 is not sharp enough?
Could be, before I started it cut paper fine. Having said that, beter sharpening could be the answer.

I think all the knives would perform better, if you just slowed down a little in your working.😉
You are right, I'm always speeding things up so my son doesn't get bored filming. And as a teacher I always want to keep the tempo up. But I will try to slow down in the next video. Thanks for the tip.

Hi.
Great review.
I have to say the BPS knife looks way better imho.
I may purchase one on the strength of this review.
All the best.👍🏾😉🇬🇧
You're right, BPS is the better choice I think.
Seems to have a poor grind angle on the BPS .
In what way do you think it's poor.
Greetings Wim
@@traveler5898 Sorry I ment the Beavercraft
@@traveler5898 Sorry I ment the Beavercraft
yes that makes sense...
The beavercraft is a butter knife.
butter?
@@traveler5898 Butter from cows; that you put on your bread/toast.
aah i get it ... thanks....
As long as it’s NOT Bushlore by Condor, it’s OK…
@@ilijabosnjak76What’s the matter with the Bushlore? I have their large Hudson Bay knife, I really like it, but that’s my only experience with Condor.
I'm going out on a limb here and guessing the BPS is from Ukraine and the Beavercraft is from Russia. Or Russia occupied Ukraine. The Beavercraft has Russian low quality written all over it. (Anybody ever ridden around in a Lada Nova? Q: How do you double the value of a Soviet car? A: You fill the tank.) Not only did the Beavercraft knife fail some of the important tests but it looks ugly--the sheath is worse--and the box is flimsy crap. Russians might be trying to steal market share from Ukraine. Otherwise, why in the world would Ukraine legitimately want to undercut a very good product (BPS) with a third rate knock-off?
You might have a point there.
