Here's a link to view all their knives linktr.ee/bpsknives

I love both grinds however the BPS full grind is great if your going to also use the knife for food processing. There is more for a knife than just carving. I use my knife for cleaning fish etc... By-the-way, BPS is a Ukrainian knife company and it supplies the Ukrainian Army with knives for FREE. I purchased three knives for myself and my sons to help support them and they are awesome knives. I did purchase the bushcraft knife adventurer, but I like this one and I'll probably buy this one for us as well. Thank you from your friends in Florida 🌴

Well brother,I’ve never heard of this company or it’s knives but I have now. I will be ordering at least two of them today. Thanks for letting us know about new products,we appreciate it.

What a great test Dave! So helpful. Thanks!!

So pleased you brought BPS Knives up. In October I got delivery of the BPS Knives HK5 full tang w/ wooden scales and the same sheath that comes with all their knives it seems. Inexpensive, my interest was in finding SOME item made in Ukraine I might buy, in the way of support... so for less than 40 bucks I figured I could not get hurt. 1066, by my hand on stones & hones, and by eye is, naturally, softer than 1095 so re-profiling the 'factory' scandi-grind to the broad radiused edge I prefer was no problem with hand tools, seated in a chair. I presume 1066 will be rather tough. The *one size fits all our knives* sheath was, in my opinion, stiff and dry but all the leather items I buy feel stiff and dry, so as usual I saturated it with my custom leather oil compound and let it sit for two days. About a month later I bought the Savage Bushcraft as you did (though by then I had given the HK5 to my nephew). My Savage arrived Dec. 9th and there was little for me to do since a full-flat geometry is another one I like though I favor an asymmetrical edge where, for a Right-handed person, the knuckle side is as flat as I can get it with no bevel and essentialy no micro-bevel either. This results in a geometry resembling a Japanese sushi knife for a Lefty which is flat on the thumb side, then I put a significant bevel on My thumb side. This is a trick I learned decades ago as a line cook in the 70s. This shape on the thumb side helps the edge kinda slide over and not catch the fingernails when you are moving fast. More juice for this sheath and I think I will hold on to this one for a while. I feel that this is an excellent way for a small-fry like me to help out.

Good Morning from Boston. Great to start my day with you Dave!

Bought one of these (BK06) about 2 months ago, came with sheath and Ferro rod. One the best sheath knives I have ever bought. Quality is top notch. Feels good in your hand. I thought balance was good. Dangler/belt loop sheath is outstanding. Thank for showcasing a really good product.

I’ve had a great experience with all of my BPS knives so far, I’m glad you gave them a shout out, I think they are just as good or better than a lot of my “mainstream” branded knives. My favorite is the HK5 ,my girlfriend even thinks it’s cool! Thanks David and Nick!

Perfect timing. I just came in from the woods to find a new video from my favorite bushcrafter. Thanks for the review Dave!

Hello Dave, I agree, BPS Knives make good stuff. I ordered three different models of their product line. And I can tell they are worth it, like them. Good value. Thanks for showing! Grüße aus Deutschland! Torsten

Hi Dave, thanks for sharing your outdoor fun in the woods. Have a great time, Michael

Thank you for sharing this video! A great way to start the day. Very informative and useful comparison on the knives.

Sharp video and your audio was well polished! Thanks for all the great info. Those were some top notch knives and the price was a real “steel” 😂 looks like you have a real handle on all of these matters! Keep grinding away my friend, you’re carving out some great content! 😉 🔪 🏕️

Hi Dave! As usual, the paces you put these two knives through is fluffless, practical, and helpful. Brother, you are the go-to place for straight up reviews. As for me, I am partial to the BK06 camp knife. Blessings to you and Nick.

Love BPS knives! The adventurer is a full tang with Scandi, and is superb. They also offer excellent customer service. Another great video! Thanks for sharing!

Nice job Dave, I appreciate it very much! Over the years I've had a bunch of knives and I still fall back to my Randall as my main carry knife in the woods. But I've had it for 50 years and they're not inexpensive. Stay safe keep the faith brother

Always informative and thanks for introducing a new brand!! Seems well worth the price. Thank you for all you do for us! Blessings

I’m not one to usually watch reviews but I have to say, you have a way of even making a knife comparison demonstration an adventure 😁…thanks for sharing! Be well! & Stay safe! 😊

Same experience with these grinds. Thanks for the review

Nice test, David. BPS is well worth the money.

Been a fan of BPS knives for a few years now, got my first early in 2021. That HK5S has served me well as the all around camp knife; carving, notching, and even some light battoning of kindling. The 1066 blade is 1.2" wide and .11 thick, so its quite a good slicer. Have a total of 4 BPS knives with blade lengths of 3.5", 4.1", 4.5" to 5.1" and all have the Scandi grind and are 1066 carbon steel. The smaller ones live with the "kitchen" cooking stuff, the 4.5" is a spare buried in the bottom of my main pack. Back when I went hog wild buying them, BPS knives were between $21 and $35, all with sheaths that were worth the price of admission by themselves. 1066 seems to hold a decent edge. If used as designed, a good stropping is all that's needed at the end of the day. I do have 'bigger' toys for harder jobs; just like in any tool box, use the right tool for the job and you will not be disapointed. But you already knew that.

I picked up the BPS Adventurer, it's kind of like the camp knife you are testing, but with a full tang. Also, the sheath has a small ferro rod on it. Liked it enough to buy another one and then the Nighthawk version. It's the same as the Adventurer, but it has black scales and a black sheath. Of course my wife claimed the Nighthawk. lol The scales on the Nighthawk were just a bit to small and the tang stuck out in a few spots. For $42 it isn't realistic to expect perfect fit and finish. I was going to just hit it with the belt sander, but I contacted BPS to just order a new set of scales. Instead, they explained that a small batch of wood was having an issue with shrinking so the sent meva new set, that fit perfectly, on their dime. That kind of customer service is what will keep me coming back.

Scandi is the winner hands down! Great show. Thanks for sharing Dave. My wife asked if you can gather some of that rotten wood termite free for her hugelkultur garden 😂

I bought one in 2021. Very good quality.

I have the BPS knock-off of the Mora HD. It is full tang, and except for its tendency to rust, it has become my main neck knife. I blued it, and I put beeswax on it as maintenance, and for my use, it is ten out of ten. :)

BPS knives are one of my favorites. I have 3 different kinds from a super sharp and love them, and I also have a couple of their sheaths for different knives that I have. I also buy a couple blanks and put my own handles on their super affordable great little project knife

I have 2 of the BPS knives. Mine were both around $33. Full tang. Exposed tang at the end. Extremely sharp blade and 90° spine. Excellent thick leather dangler sheaths. I wouldn't have got that camp knife you bought. Not full tang. Good video Dave. HK15 and HK5 are the ones I bought. That Savage looks like the handle is rather wimpy and undersized. I don't know why they didn't make it a little beefier.

Thank you Dave . I love your videos

BPS knives are great! I have 3 of them, none of which are one of those lol. I can't remember the model nbrs other than the Adventurer, and I have the one that looks like the Condor Bushlore, and the one with a slight recurve. 1066 is ok, but nothing special. It's fairly tough, but won't hold it's edge for long. It sharpens easily, and if you don't let it go entirely dull, it strops back to sharp pretty well. I've enjoyed using mine. Mine are all scandi grinds, and I blued 2 of them to hopefully keep the rust at bay. I use my pocket knife for food normally, so I'm not worried about the bluing contaminating my food, but I did leave one of them raw steel. I may do a apple cider vinegar patina on that one. 1066 WILL rust if you don't maintain it. The scandi grinds work great, but I am thinking of getting the Savage too. I always enjoy your videos Dave. Thanks for the years of very helpful and educating work you have put into your videos!!!

The Savage is my current EDC and favorite knife.... Great review, sir

Both Performed Nicely On Your Tests, Thanks Davey ! Hay Nick. Have A Great Weekend Friends. ATB T God Bless

Good review, never heard of these knives. Thanks for sharing.

Hv 2 of the hk 1s.. Over a year now with no regrets. Peeled some Brazilian pepper wood & it puts a nice dark patina on em. Skinned out a few hogs too.. So far they hv been the perfect size for my need's..

It is called Bog Oak because it is a tree or a piece of oak, that has been laying in a bog for thousands of years. And they have become a super stabile wood for knifegrips. That is also the reason they are black.

Hi David, I was watching this again because I forgot that I’d already seen it, but it was just as good the second time! I was going to tell you, I saw a Stromeng KS9 the other day that was just like yours from Norway! What a beautiful knife, I can see why you like it so much! Going to have some coffee now, hope you’re well! ☕️☕️☕️👍🏻

That flat grind is calling my name for field dressing deer and hogs.

Nice one Dave, a great presentation and test of both knives

They need to send you a royalty. I ordered 4 of their knives after watching your video. I have 5 grandkids, and as they come of age, I will gift these to them.

Thanks for another exciting video Dave! People can always trust what you say about gear because you don't get paid to pretend something is good if it's not. 👍

Bog Oak is just what it says; ancient oaks that have been preserved in the moist, peat bogs of Europe. The best known are Ireland with a long history of carving smoking pipes, small art pieces and making Knife grips like the Scottish skian Dhu ( black knife) It rock hard, incredibly stable and Jet black. My Irish grandmother also commented ‘ it’s ugly as death itself ‘ Christopher

I have several of the bps knives with the scandi grind. The one I have are all 1066 carbon. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better knife at their price point. Great video.

Seems similar quality to Moras. Flat grinds are not ideal for curls. The flat grind bites, and digs into the wood. Thanks for the comparison of the two! I'll stick with my 73 forge blades. Thanks for sharing with us Dave!

Pretty cool knives. You know me, I’m a knife junkie. I just got a jeotech and a work tuff. Both fixed blade bushcraft knives. Really awesome blades. I’ll probably get a few more knives coming up soon.🐸🍺🔪🔥

Great to see you Dave! Those are winners for sure at that price point!

I am a new member of your channel - I am a huge nerd and love to learn things and have recently been researching these sort of things. You are frigging awesome at explaining things to a newbie like me. I have some requests that I would like to send your way, but can't see how.

Yup, just like Mors says 2% of the wood in the forest is fit for making proper feather sticks.

Dave you are always very entertaining, great video!

Hi dave. Thanks for the review and the knifework demonstration. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

Lol...I own 5 of these. I found them about a year or so ago while looking at European makers. Cannot beat the value fir money. My favorite is the bc1. It's a copy of the Condor bushlore which I own aswell. Half the price and I can't tell the difference. Oh Bog oak is oak that has been sitting in a wetland submerged for a long time. Pretty cool. And yes a great video as always. Stay safe out there

Great video and review Dave,and I liked the looks of the brown handled one the best,and I think after your review they may start making it in a full tang since you said that's what most of us want in case we're batonning for toughness,and those sheaths are very thick sturdy leather and very well made too.Thanks again and we will see you on the next one.Oh and you had that block of wood smoking pretty quickly doing that with your hands and not a bow.Take care.

I absolutely love bps... so much so that a started a review channel 2 years ago specifically to get more information and exposure to this humble company. That 1066 is some of the toughest carbon steel I have ever used, and I prefer it to 1095 and the likes for its superior deformation resistance. They have quite a few designs that I prefer to your choices, and guessing from your channel i would say that the bs2fts is probably the best model for your needs. Anyways, thanks for getting more exposure to these guys. Amazing products at a super fair price and outstanding customer service. Get em while they are still cheap

Consumate artistry, Dave! -- with the knives and camera both. As it happens, I picked up the flat grind model recently, and one of their full tang scandi grinds previously. The flat grind excels for food prep tasks too, as well as game processing like you mention. About the most savage cutting I'm likely to do is sawing on a hunk of meat or block of cheese! And I completely agree with your appraisal of their "category" -- since I don't own any fancy blades, these are my premium cutting tools!

The 'Savage' is more a chefs knife for the outdoor kitchen. The BK06 more a very cold/hot weather wood processing knife. I only have the BS1FT in stainless and that's a compact knife. I bought it when BPS was relatively new in the market and it came with a very sturdy heavy duty green canvas sheath instead of leather. I actually like that since it dries quicker and keeps it shape better than leather. The 'Adventurer' is by shape also more a chefs knife but has a scandi grind. It's a bit longer but I would say best of both worlds. If a knife is 3mm or under thick at the spine I don't like a flat grind or high saber grind. It becomes to weak mostly at the tip. For in the home kitchen no problem of course. When it's 4mm or over thick at the spine now a high saber or flat grind can be ok since it's still strong and the grind will increase the food prep part. So for me the turning point is at about 3,5mm. For a wood carver a narrow blade is better and for food prep a wider blade that reaches under the handle so your knuckles won't hit the cutting board so much. What I'm really waiting for is for the Friction Folder SSH to come back in stock but that might never happen. If so I would buy 2 of them and 1 Adventurer. But as always a good review and demonstration of techniques.

Hey, Dave! Wow, you've got two killer deals in your hands right now! I checked Amazon and you can get both knives for the same price of $40, or both of them as a bundle for $73. Now, I've always been a flat grind sort of guy, but once I started watching your videos, I saw the value of a Scandi grind, and here's why: The flat grind knife is easier to maintain a good edge on because the angle of the grind is more acute and thus is already angling to an edge, but the trade off is that the steel of the blade is weaker and more prone to breakage, so in the bushcrafting world, it's not as versatile because I'd never trust a flat grind knife to burrow holes in wood like you would for making a hand-drill or bow drill for making fire, but the scandi is beefier and less apt to break. If it sounds like I love both knives, I do! Haha! I believe I'd use the flat grind for curls and slicing veggies and such and the scandi for the brunt of the work load, but if I had to only have one, it'd be the scandi, but that's me. (I am never above having more than one blade on me at a time, though). Thanks once again for making my Friday start out with some wonderful video watching, Dave. You really make the Fridays you're on here with something new really cool! Rock on, brother!

That bk 06 got the job done to me great video and test thank you

Hello David. I bought the Adventurer, has the fire steel. Bought the bush craft. And then bought the sheath with the with the rod sleeve. I then did a forced patina on them. I used a coat of Obenaufs on the sheaths. Worked out well. The sheaths are great as well. Have a great weekend. TAKE CARE..

Well, I might have to try one of those! Thanks for another excellent video, Dave! 👍👍

I have the Savage and a scandi BPS, the first I use for kitchen work and the latter outside. As you said the sheaths are excellent. Thanks

Great demonstrations Dave, both seemed like really great knifes. If I had to pick one it would be the camp knife. I don’t require all my knives to be full tang, as a matter of fact it’s a advantage to me as a neck knife cause of the lighter weight. These days I like my gear to be lighter anyway. I’m not one for batoning either with a knife, but if I do I have tools for that. Bring old school I really like leather sheaths. I’m sold on these knives and will go shopping, other than a mora it’s hard to find that quality at that price. Also I really like the looks of the camp knife, it’s very traditional like. Thanks Dave.

Thank you very much for the review on these knives. I totally agree with you about the different grinds being good for different things. If I'm going out to do a specific task I will grab the knife that works best for that job. With that said it's also nice to be able to use the different grinds for what they're not designed to do. So you're proficient with all for those just in case moments. Thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge with us. It is appreciated. God bless and stay safe to you and your family.

Flat grinds work great for pocket knives and cutting rope...outside of that in a survival situation I prefer the following.....CPM3v or Elmax A full tang ( not rat tail ) a 1/4 blade thickness with a sharp 90 degree spine ( must strike a ferro rod ) blade length of at least 6" and 7" would be perfect ( better for battoning ) and finally the most important feature on a Survival knife which I feel there is a difference between Bushcraft and Survival and that is your knife grind in my opinion needs to be convex. Yes I like SCANDI but I find SCANDI only suited for small tasks whereas CONVEX has more versatility and holds an edge longer especially if you are splitting wood. For my scandi grind brothers out there yes they make curls like crazy but in survival your tasks will encompass so much more...give Convex a try. Very nice bushcraft knives Dave. I am sure you will love them.

Mtn man here from the smokies of nc setting here on Friday night watching fun in the woods 🐺 all ways good to watch ur vids U being out side rain gone be down in the 20 tonight here 👍👍

P.P.S. Not sure if any one has mentioned, but if you take the handles off your Savage, you may find some rust. Its easy to sand off. Then coat with mineral oil, put the handle scales back on, and your good to go.

The BPS are good knives. I have the Savage and I modified mine. I sanded the wooden handles with 2,000 grit sand paper to give them a nicer finish and I also used gun blue on the blade so now the knife is all black.

That desert camo works pretty well in the autumn/winter forest. 😁👍

My Opinel knives will do a lot of wood work, but they are better at slicey dicey stuff. My Mora will cut/chop food, but it’s better at wood work. The same with the knives you were using. As you demonstrated, both blade grinds can be used to do a lot of tasks, but each grind has its place. ✌️🇺🇸😘👏👏👏👏 Have a great weekend.

RBM absolutely your biggest fan! Grew up in Norcross,in between blue ridge ga! Your videos and knowledge rock! Keep em coming!

THANK YOU - A wonderful weekend for you dear friend 👣🌲🌲🌲

Good video, thanks Dave😍

I learn a lot from you. Thanks for your videos!

That scandy grind is nice.....looks like the handle would be comfortable

Good morning, Dave. Great show. Thank you. I like Skandi-grind, but I'm not a fan of rat-tailed tang because some can twist in the handles down the road. (especially if they've gotten wet and dried out a few times). But that's just personal preference. I don't know if they make a skandi-grind in full tang, but that's my favorite. (Please send some of that good weather up to Maine) 😂 Have a blessed day, my friend.

Nice one 👍 Dave great video 👍

For some reason you reminded me of Fess Parker today. 🥰 Awesome knife review! Seems like having one of each is the way to go. 🙂 Cheers!

Good looking knives and demonstration Dave , have a great weekend , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !

Handmade full tang is always a good decision.

Fun Vid Dave, I have the BS1FTS for Camp Craft, and the HK5 for a field knife. Great price for an easy gift.

I love these knives thank you for reviewing the flat grind I haven’t tried it yet. I have purchased several of thier knives I think my favorite is the hk5 full tang and skandi grind ( best of both worlds in my humble opinion ) these definitely are well made knives & sheaths !! And omg the price cannot be beat for what you get !!

Way to show actual knife uses instead of just hammering it through logs, then complaining that a $30 knife didn't perform like a $300 knife. BPS makes a solid, affordable knife.

Dave, my better sense tells me I shouldn't be doing it, but it is getting late for an old man. I watch your videos nonstop some days. Today I was watching another of my Favorites, Cowboy Kent Rollins. He had 2.4 million viewers, let's pick it up Dave.. No really, He has loyal viewers and so do you. He's a cook, you are a bushcrafter and you are both excellent. Don't let the count get you down. Keep being the same, and I will keep following you.

Oh and the bps adventure comes with a sheath and a £25 decent fire starter peace and love from 1 leg UK England

Hi bigmonkey the bps adventure is scandi grind stainless steel and full tang and it beats both of them in my opinion same price same company great video as always peace and love from 1 leg UK England

those two knives are very nice looking. i am going to take a look at their shop. thanks for sharing.

I think I definitely like the camp knife best. I'm very biased towards scandy grind though. This was a good full test Dave.

I absolutely love my US Navy MK2 KaBar knife! It's a nice heavy blade and has endured a lot of stuff over the decades. Plus I have a really nice Gerber Infantry fighting knife my son bought me. It also has a nice thick blade. I honestly believe that makes the difference. A heavier knife is going to be easier to work with. That's why you were able to accomplish your tasks easier with the "BK06" knife as opposed to the "Savage" knife.

Thankn you brother. I liike the BK06 Camping Knife best. GOD Bless.

Liked the video and the knifes , thanks Dave

I like both knives but I feel better knowing and seeing that my knife is full tang. In a survival situation I would feel better also knowing it was full tang but if I was just camping I would have no problem with the BKO6 camp knife. I'm like you I never baton with a knife and never have because that is not what they are for. Here in Texas I can always find plenty of wood on the ground I don't need too. Your right the full tang is what sales. Great review and thanks for making it. Kelly from Texas !

Thank you for the review. I've seen the name BPS for a while now. For some reason, I thought it stood for Bass Pro Shop. 🤔 I'll have to check them out.

As you are well aware , I am an official member of the Moraholics now. Just got my first Kansbol last month , just cannot brag on this simple little knife enough. One gripe is it ain't carbon, since I prefer that. The other is they just need to be bigger for most cases for me. Not 9 inches long but how I would love a 6 or 7 inch carbon Mora with a taller blade...not thicker. The BPS products should get closer or there at a compatible price tag

BPS knives are inexpensive and come razor sharp. Well made for the money. I love mine.

Hey Dave! I just bought an Odenwolf scandi-grind bushcraft knife and I absolutely love it! I showed it to my son and he really liked it. Unfortunately for him, his birthday isn't until December so he's going to have to wait a while! LOL!!

I prefer the design of the Savage because with slab handles it can be made clean. Anytime there is a tang that runs into a handle there is often the chance of dirt or water entering into the gap. Besides that I think they both do seem like great buys.

We love the pant chamo pattern! Excellent video, "Old Dave "!!! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🗡⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I took a look and I only see the Savage as being in stock and available. They make several knives, but the Savage looks like the most modern design. I haven't purchased anything from Schrade in a while. I don't know if their blades are as good or have declined in quality, but I remember that a few years ago they were making some great knives.

Along time ago, in a place far away, a oak tree toppled over and fell into a bog, which is not a swamp, and slowly settled to the bottom, and the bog closed in over it. After a time, say 100's of years, the tree became preserved. Now people hunt these tree's, because they make into great musical instruments and furniture. The handle on the Savage, and I have one, is made from Bog Oak, so it amazes's me how inexpensive it is. I've never worried about a grind on my knives, and I have many, I just worry about how sharp they are. I think you will come to like the Savage.

Dave, I have a couple of BPS knives and love them. I have the flat grind one that I would use more for food prep and have the BPS Adventurer Bushcraft knife (full tang) that comes with a ferro rod for $39.95 on Amazon. The Adventurer is my wood working knife as it has the scandi grind. I’m glad to see that you’re out there using their knives and enjoying the great outdoors. I, like you, enjoy trying different knives. I told myself a couple of weeks ago that I wasn’t going to buy another fixed blade knife. That lasted a whole week 😂. Bought a Hultafors and my excuse was that I hadn’t tried that companies knives. No kidding, I’m not going to buy another knife until I find one I havent tried. 😊

Bps makes some pretty decent blades and i definitely enjoy them. I have their little bushcraft knife as the companion on my condor village parang excellent little carvers and i have carved two walking sticks with it. Cheers brother hope you are enjoying your time!

I like "Full Tang" and that's my preference, but I'm not a Flat Grin fan, I'm a Scandi, Saber, and Convex Grin fan, and a little bit of a hollow grin. And I just don't like any stick tang, must be a full tang. Great video Dave, thanks for sharing.

Hi David, Very interesting comparison. When those knives first came out, I was told that the steel used in those knives was salvaged from destroyed Russian tanks. It is for this reason why they could be sold at low prices. I do not know how true the knife story is but it was the story tthat accompanied the knives as they opened the market in the US. I just thought that I would add this sidenote. When that war is over these knives are likely to explode in cost and collectibility. I have been thinking about adding two or three of each style to my collection, just as an investment. One to use and two to set back in pristine condition. The Slavic people have an intensely high interest in well made knives and really know how to make them. Svord brand knives are a highly respectable brand of knife made in Czechia. But every Slavic nation has great knifemakers. I suspect that because of the popularity of Swedish and Norwegian knives and axes, the Slavs will much more pronounced in the near future. Their knowledge of knife, sword and axe making, even warhammers, is very old going way back in time to when the Romans ruled. The Ukrainians have a very proud history of knives. The Cossacks of the Ukraines even do knife dances with incredible throwing accuracy as they dance. There are videos on KZfaq of both Russian and Ukrainian Cossacks dancing and culture. Theirs was a warrior society of many tribes. Their horsemanship and blade use on horseback is nothing less than stunning. Look them up on you tube and sit back on your couch with a nice mug of cold sweetened iced tea and relax as you watch how they handle a four foot long steak knife or rather sword and how they throw knives at each other's feet. There is incredible beauty in their culture even dancing without knives. Well, God willing, I'll talk at you later and God bless you and the ones you love ! A friend always !
