I got a BPS knife. Found the knife through another channel. Thought I'd find some more and found this video. It's amazing how they can make such a nicely made knife for that price.

I have this knife, it’s very nice! God bless Ukraine!

Best knife I’ve had yet, 31 years in forces and I even bought another 2 to give as ideal presents for my grown up lads , good honest review of this knife

Дякую за чудовий огляд! Thanks for such a great review!

This has become my favorite knife. I have five BPS but this one is the one I generally use

I have this knife and 3 others from BPS. The best production knives out of the box I have tested on my channel to date. Love to see them getting the recognition they deserve.

Excellent knife! I have many bps knives and even got blanks to make my own handles the adventurer is my favorite! I've beat the brakes off this knife really impressed with 1066! All their knives are great with real leather sheaths! Thanks to Ukraine and bps for great knives and for holding strong! Support Ukraine and buy a bps or check out beaver craft Ukraine has the knife game mastered for sure! Thanks for a great product 👍

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 from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Thanks for you support guys

I spent the entire weekend looking for an affordable, 5 inch camp knife. Believe it or not there's not much out there in this category. You've sold me and I'm buying right now.

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

Love BPS knives. Carry one everyday. Highly recommend them for beginners to bushcraft or young people. Figuring out what sharping technique and how to properly care for a knife is better learned on something that didn’t cost you a lot of money that you’re afraid of ruining.☮️

Oh and to Bps in Ukraine keep up the fight and god bless I hope the fight ends soon

A detail that I REALLY appreciate is the sharpening choil. I think this should be a standard in the knife industry but seeing it on a knife of this price is awesome.

I have a BPS knife and like you said the sheath alone is worth the price of the knife. The knife held up great. Just strop it when you are done. 4 days in the woods and no damage. Thanks!

I was surprised to see one at a local store 2 days ago. If you support a country during a war, one of the better ways to support them is to buy items from said country keeping both that company and staff working during the war.

Thanks,I was looking at that knife. And I’ve trusted your opinion. So I’ve ordered it. Just getting started in bushcraft,and again,I’ve learned to trust your opinion.

One of the best knife reviews I’ve seen. Very informative and thorough from blade steel to demo. Looking forward to more of your reviews.

Purchased a BPS HK4 recently, can’t wait for its arrival.

Can’t wait for mines to arrive!!!

Just picked up mine! Beautiful knife. Years of fun ahead. Thanks for the review!

I agree. Best knife for the money I've found !

Excellent thorough review and demo as usual Mark. We appreciate you!

Bought the adventurer before the invasion, love it. So just after the invasion bought another and 3 others, haven't used them all yet. great knives at a good price point.

I've had questions about this knife & in particular the 1066 steel used. Thanks for a great informative review. I don't use a knife much, but modest price & good quality have led me to collect quite a few. This looks like it will be one of those.

I'm really excited about the value of this knife and others from BPS. I have this knife on the way and will be testing it out this weekend on a camping trip. Thanks for the review.

Thank you from Ukrainian knife fan!

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 own this knife and it's by far favorite knife to date. Better than any $100 + blade that I've used. Only fixed blade I carry.

My kids gave me this knife for Christmas this year. I haven't been able to take it out and run it through its paces, yet, but it sure seems well made with everything you need and nothing you don't need.

I have alot of knives and bought this one and it became my favorite. I recently bought the stainless steel version with the black sheath. Awesome knife too but like the carbon better.

Good review. I just purchased the B1. Love it.

Good review. BPS knives look like quality. Thanks. toronto

Great review! Thanks for making it!

I really enjoy your style of reviewing, thanks for selling me on this blade!

I bought one and it arrived the other day. Solid knife and a very sturdy sheath.

I bought this one in stainless to throw in my camp kitchen. Turns out it is a good knife for food prep and it didnt make it to the camping gear. Ill have to get another one because it hasnt left my kitchen bench lol. The sheath is good quality and has been remolded to fit one of my other outdoor knives.

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.

Love your reviews and the channel in general.

Thanks mark getting one soon am third generation Ukraine . Bought wood stoves from your ideas . Big wave from Saskatoon Canada 🇨🇦

I bought the BPS Savage, that Knife is one of the sharpest Knives out of the Box, I have ever purchased. BPS Knives are a great value.

Thanks for the thorough review. It looks like a great value for the money.

Just got mine today and I'm loving it! Solid knife for sure.

Bought one for my son this week, and gave it a good test drive together today up at the lake. Great knife and sheath for the price. Absolutely. Very happy to be supporting a Ukrainian company too.

Great demonstration video. Thank you.

Well Priced Combo, Great Performer. Thanks For The Demo, Mark ! ATB T God Bless

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.

First and foremost a knife is a TOOL . It’s true value is in its function and these BPS knives are excellent value.

I like it. Gonna have to get me one. Great job.

Good clear presentation.

I've got 4 BPS knives. I love them all.

I heard a lot good things about this knife, so I ordered one today and find out

I'm very happy to hear they are back in buisness, I just finished ordering their Companion clone because I'm in love with it's blade shape and ergonomycs but always wished it would feel a bit heavier and with a more "breathable" handle material and what do you know, full tang and walnut handle, plus the leather sheath witch is always nice

Howdy Mark i like the video, nice knife, I am a strong believer in every size knife has a use, I like the respect you give in your videos, and I have been watching your videos far a while, and I want to say thank you for the kindness in your words, taking the time to make these videos, hopefully people will watch these videos and learn something about life, respect, honesty, the beauty of nature, and how to live among nature like God intended for us to, some of the stuff you do I know, but I still learn from your videos, thank you, stay safe and God bless my friend

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

Thanks mate, great review.

Hi Mark, today i just recieved my B.P.S Knife. The H.K.5 version & i never did much with it....YET but it feels amazing in my hands & it razor sharp !! Shaves hair off my arm & cuts through paper like nothing. I think these knives are pretty much neck & neck with Mora Knives. Love the reviews & keep em coming !! 💯👋👍🤝

Great show and thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

I just got one of these in today, initial impressions are very favorable and will see how it holds up in use.

Love those knives...have 3 of them small med and larger sorry forgot the names of them. Great real leather sheathes....well worth the money.

Love mine too. Love to have a thumb perch but that would screw-up that awesome sheeth👍🏻

These are great knives!

I just got my B1 in carbon steel and my only complaint is the handle is a little small in my xl hand but still feels decent and fit and finish is very good and very hard to beat for the price I would highly recommend and plan to buy more

Thx

Maaaan! It is actually the 65Г(65G) soviet era spring steel, which is close, but not exactly 1066hc steel. So you right about spring steel. If properly treated it outperforms 1095 steel for bushcraft/camping/survival knife. With as good if not better edge retention.

I'm not remotely a bushcrafter, but this knife is a very good knife for small and large game and as a general camp knife. Nice review and all the best.

I bought the beavercraft bsh3 now it's this guy's turn. In addition to being great knives it obviously helps Ukraine some, but you can also donate to to the Kiyv Independent online and get their aspect of the war.

Yeah I really enjoy my BPS knives I believe that for the money they are one of the best knives out there for the money they don't fall into the same class when you double the money and have to go up to a joker or something like that then the money starts to matter but at thirty and forty dollars DPS can't be beat

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.

Loving your channel buddy!

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.

I just received this knife a couple of weeks ago and was blown away by the sheath and the knife. As you stated, it is sharp right out of the box. However, I did hit it on my Shapton ceramics...taking it to 12,000 grits. With maybe 10 minutes of work I was able to get this knife unbelievably sharp....frightening sharp and a mirror polish. The sheath is worth the total cost of this kit. Maybe in the future they will produce a knife made from blown up Russian armor....I would buy one in a heartbeat. Slava Ukraine.

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!

In this video I refer to Ukraine as "The Ukraine". It was unintentional. I know the difference and mean no disrespect

All of these reviewers are coming out and saying they had the knife for a long time. Right! I bought one because of these reviews. Low price equals cheap here. I returned it the same day

I have their B1 Camping. As a Swede it hurts to admit it, but my Garberg has not left its storage shelf since I tried the BPS.

This is a great knife 🔪 I own one and have been carrying it for about a year, my olny complaint is that blade is thinner than I like, personally I prefer 1/4 inch minimum for outdoor belt knife, but hay that's just me

I bought one of these knives and it seems like it is going to be a good functioning knife for a reasonable 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.

I just ordered a smaller model. Probably going to get this model later on. I don't mind a smaller handle because I have, like you, a few Grohmann knives. Quebec.

I can confirm that the company are up and running again. They do say on their website that there might be postal delays caused by the ongoing conflict. FYI The UK has removed import duty on goods arriving in the UK from Ukraine, to support ongoing trade during these troubled times.

BPS Knives Adventurer - Bushcraft Knife is 1066 Carbon steel, but most of the cheaper ones are just Carbon steel.... 1095 High Carbon steel hardened and then tempered makes for an excellent knife.

Use the belly of the knife for feather sticks. Guaranteed curls. Mine were sometimes hit and miss till I watched a video with Mors Kochanski.

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?

Worth noting tbat sheath is not leather. It would be amazing to get a sheath that size and thickness out if real leather for that price. Its basically a type of foam, which is why it is so firm.

Very similar design to the Bravo 1.25 LT minus the scandi grind. I'd love to test that scandi against the Bravos convex

Morning mark, wow, that’s some pretty high praise for a knife that actually is pretty cheap. First thing I saw though for me was that handle. My hands are size large in gloves, but they’re thin, so that and thanks to a broken pinky knuckle I need a fairly large handle. So I’ll stick to my Finnish knife. Hey, I tried the membrane solutions filter finally. It seems to have worked. No one got sick, but it leaks from the outlet cap, and man does it block quickly. Stupid me didn’t bring a bottle that fits to back flush, so I just rinsed the dirt off the face of the carbon filter by hand. I’m trying to see if I can find some sort of coarse prefilter I could fit inline. I suppose I also could have just gotten my feet wet and went out a bit deeper too, since it was a sandy, silty bank I was on, but that’s not always practical, or pleasant. The leaking is an issue though. I’ll have to take a better look at it now that I’m home.

They are very functional, utilitarian knives. Combine that with the cost and it's almost a no brainer. Just needs a bit more attention to keep the edge maintained but excellent product.

Good knife! I have one, it won't be my last.

Very thorough review. Thanks for making such good quality videos. 🇨🇦🍻

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.

What do you do if you find some rest on your blade or if you take the scales off and find some Rust underneath the scales what's your cure for that

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?

BPS is the new Condor. Good value and quality before prices went up significantly with Condor.

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.

Thank you for the review. Please do not say "the Ukraine". It should be Ukraine. I have one of theirs knifes. Very good knife.

Cool knife.. Is there any way to make that blade less shiny though ?

Mark love your reviews. Is there any problem shipping from Ukraine? Thanks

Aren't they hex head Chicago screws?

That's about as well as my feathersticks turn out lmao. I normally just end up with a bird's-nest of the pieces that fell off and just make due with that.
