BPS Knives Savage Bushcraft Knife Full Tang Camping Knife with Leather Sheath Carbon Steel Knives, Outdoor Fixed Blade Bush Survival Knives Gift for Men, Camp Gear

Very well-made, knife, the thickness and taper grind give it a very smooth cut.Has spent the last several months in my kitchen and has maintained a good edgeAt first, I thought the grip maybe a little thin for my large hands, but it’s quite comfortable

Sure, there's places for improvement like the handle, but this is exactly what I've been looking for. A simple, no nonsense knife that's extremely customizable.Because the scales are bolted and not riveted it's extremely easy to remove for carving shaping and doing a full blade forced patina.Even if you don't customize any of it, just practice basic carbon steel wood handled knife maintenance (patina the blade, keep it wiped with oil, oiling the wood scales) and you still have a fantastic knife.The blade size is basically between a pairing knife and a full size kitchen knife. Making it ideal for the bulk of my needs: fish preparation, outdoor cooking prep and general outdoor tasks.The sheath leather isn't surface coated, it's dyed through the entire leather - so when I cut it down and restitched it for a smaller profile, I didn't need to re-dye the edges. Speaking of the sheath, the stitching side is wide enough to be used as an effective strop for the blade!Thoroughly impressed.

Same sheath as is offered with most of their knives. Maybe an 8 -or- 10oz leather -- I oiled the dickens out of it and it clings nicely to the knife yet does not fight me when withdrawing it from the sheath.Made by, it seems, a family operation. Might be 55 hrc. I reworked the profile with little trouble.My intent ( in the future ) is to work-harden the cutting edge by aggressively rolling the bevel on both sides across a carbide 1/4" pin hard enough to 'plasticly deform it'. Then I will hone and strop...I found out years ago when I was active as a line cook that stainless meat knives seemed to get harder over the years. The thing about these knives was that once you achieved the kind of working edge geometry you wanted ( different for each use -- everyone had a set of 3 to 15 knives ) -- some time had been put on the knife, both steeling and flexing. This did not happen with knives used to beat-up vegetables or break-up chickens -- regular sharpening removed any hard-worked metal. My meat-slicer, a dedicated tomato-knife, and the flensing-knife I describe next just seemed to get hard and last forever.I had once thought that I was merely straightening the micro-bevel on my "sharp whisker", the flensing knife I removed silverskin with. A cheap Case XX about 7" long in the blade with a rounded tip 1/3" wideon the face and slowly widening to just over 1/2" at the handle. It was used only to part out meats. It was( is ) shaving sharp and maybe twice as thick as the hollow-radiused part of a straight razor. A great knife and cheap that I used for almost 20 years.I realized much later that my steeling technique, which was a straight pull 90º over the steel, had been flexing the metal and making it harder while polishing(?) the faces.I expect the same thing to happen with this 1060 Full flat Grind -- yes I took out the micro-bevel from the maker's work. The only radius on it now is from rouge dressed leather on a long wood block of mahogany.

I received mine on my birthday! I'm not a big knife person and ones I have owned served the purpose. Yet when I attest to tested Product, I have seen many Bushcrafter videos and BPS is the knife of choice.Mine? Nice! I did have to take the spine through the top of the handle just a bit, but she came razor sharp.Quite pleased BPS. Thank you!

If you like a relatively thin, slicey flat-grind blade in a camping knife, read on. That's what you've got here, a big, broad blade with a distinctive bog-oak handle. As many have noticed, it should excel for food prep, but do fine with other tasks including bushcrafting things. I probably won't carve many spoons in my life but I sure do like to cook and eat. I knew this was a line of pretty good budget knives, but once I learned they were made in Ukraine I had to pick one out and buy it, and luckily this guy is perfect for me. The sheath is really nice, thick leather, well made, and very tight. I doubt it will ever loosen up to the point it's a problem. And yes, it's very, very sharp out of the box. All knives dull with use, so that's not a long-term plus, you have to be able to resharpen that knife, but it tells you the makers are meticulous and too proud to let a just-OK edge go out the door. Also it's made of a solid carbon steel, and and you know it'll resharpen up beautifully because of that excellent factory edge. If this knife doesn't meet your needs they have others, but if it does don't hesitate. Yes, it's high value, but more than that I think this guy will prove its worth in any campsite task you put it to. I'm just glad I got in on, if not the ground floor, early enough to benefit.

Overall it's just OK. It was not very sharp out of the box. Barely cut paper. Very rough finishing work on handle and tang. Rough grind marked everywhere. The sheath is quality but does not fit the knife well at all. It's extremely tight to the point where the knife will not go all the way in. Flat Grind on the blade is good but the thickness is very thin and flexible. Almost like a kitchen knife. Overall it is not what I expected and it is being returned.
