BPSKNIVES B1 CSHF - Bushcraft Knife for Men - Fixed Blade Survival Camping Knife with Sheath and Ferro Rod - Full Tang Knife Carbon Steel Camp Knives

Great knife and sheath. Sharp out of the box. It seems to be very well made. The sheath alone is worth what I paid. Thick leather and well made. The handle material is solid wood and feels great in the hand. I really don't know how they make money on their products. And I do recommend and I will be purchasing another.

I am very happy with the fit and finish and the attention to detail on the sheath, blade, and handle of this value added tool. In today's all too common business models of cutting corners on the quality of materials and manufacturing techniques this knife is like a breath of fresh air for the guy whose job it is to clean out the inside of the honey bucket truck's tank. I found no flaws in this purchase; but, I do with they would upgrade to 1095 HC steel. The knife only arrived this afternoon so I haven't had a chance to put it through its passes. I can tell you this though; I've been woodcarving since 1984 and I have excellent tools made of properly heat treated 01 high carbon steel. I also am an expert knife sharpener and I can atest that this knife is ground correctly, it's scandi grind is carving sharp. Carving sharp is when you can slice a piece of wood across its end grain and the cut leaves the freshly cut end grain shiney, no chatter markers, no fuzziness or crushing of the wood fibers. This knife does this with ease and the design and size of the knife showed me that it will be a fine tool once I get a chance to put it to its duties. My opinion so far is that I would definitely purchase this knife again and recommend it to others once I've used it awhile. The first thing I did was put a drain hole in the bottom of the sheet. Next I use the Sharpie the darken the threads of the sheets I like it better with the darker stitching. Then I use some leather conditioner that doesn't soften the leather but it does help it be water resistant. The next thing I did was clean the blade very well with the paper towels soaked in alcohol. Then I used a mixture of mayonnaise horseradish mustard lemon juice vinegar and salt and I mixed it up real good and I put a layer on the whole blade with a Q-tip and now I let sit overnight. This did some patina but mostly etched the surface of the steel kind of like a primer would. So I cleaned it off real good in the sink I was dried it very well let it sit for a while and dry out you can hit it with a hair dryer I cleaned it again with alcohol and then put some more of that concoction that I put on the blade on it again and let it sit overnight. This is the layer that did the most of the patina. I suggest you be careful with your pets my dog happened to lick up some of that stuff I was putting on the blade to turn the dark the Blade Dark and patina and next thing I know his teeth are all black and he looks like one of them women that she's Beatle nut over in Southeast Asia and they have a black teeth. Because this knife reminded me of the knife that was of the same style that probably people like the gold miners and 49 or the guys working on the railroad just Frontiersman in general that would be out there working and they probably would meet up with indians get to know him Lerner language learner sign and their customs maybe even intermarry. So what I did is get some research to see if I could find the signs and interpretations online and I did and I use my wood burner to burn the sign into my handles and in such a way is a Native Americans would have done to tell a story. Starting from the top the symbol is a drum that's the ends for God the second symbol is crossed Arrow stands for friendship the third symbol stands for men in my life the fourth one stands for dead people that's death the fifth one is a dragonfly that stands for resurrection and renewal then when you flip the knife over the one at the top is a butterfly and that stands for everlasting life the next under that is a hummingbird thanks for loving happiness after that is the Morning Star stands for guidance under that is The Healing Hand which stands for protection and then on the bottom is broken arrows that stands for peace but if you look on the picture that shows the spine of the handle does sign zigzag back and forth up and cross starts out with the peace pipe means sacred the next one is arrows means protection the next one is spring rebirth and renewal the next one is feather means courage wisdom and strength in the next symbol is day and night and it stands for time. I took a piece of green paracord and made a two-finger lanyard with it so that I could choke back on the handle I know it's not a chopping knife but it gives you a little bit of Swing and safety when you doing that it's safety at all times actually and what you do is you tired second knot in your lanyard and the reason for that is you can take a piece of paracord around you're going on your shoulder and down your waist like they used to hook their pistols too and just have one of these little cheap carabiners tied to it and you hook the Carabiner in between the first night and the second night that way if you're working up high or if you working down low or you working over over water you know if you drop your knife you won't lose it or just out in the woods cuz it won't really get in your way.

I use this knife all the time. I bought it because of the price point and the overall reviews were positive. Now this is not going to stand up as well as some of the higher end knives, but this one more than does the job that I needed to do. I messed up the blade splitting some wood when I hit a nail in the wood and didn’t realize it, but I was able to reshape the knife edge and take out the damage pretty easily. The knife holds an edge pretty well, but it is also easy to sharpen. The carbon steel blade works well with fire starting and the top is squared off enough to strike a fire starter. It draws from the sheath really easily, but it’s still secure. When I hang it off of my belt, I can pull it out in a number of positions and then receive it easily. I have not had any problems with this knife coming out of the sheath when I didn’t want it to. I use this knife almost daily, and I would definitely buy it again.

This knife is made from excellent materials, the fit and finish is a little lacking, even rough in some areas, but I believe the price justifies this. The sheath alone is well worth the $30 and is one of the best I've seen. The handle scales are well made and well fitted to the knife. The blade is made from 1066 and while that is typically a softer steel than say 1095, I have found this blade to be heat treated to be pretty hard, definitely around the 58-60 HRC they claim. The blade had numerous grind marks where it looked like it had slipped on a belt grinder and wasn't buffed completely after. The scandi grind was also uneven on the ricasso and while shaving sharp near the tip, was pretty dull on the rest of the blade. I think this is still a good knife for the price, but be prepared to have to sharpen it out of the box and clean up other issues.

I own a Condor El Salvador. That is an excellent bush knife. I would have to admit that this knife was modeled after that knife. To tell the truth, "don't care". It is ideal for use in the woods. First there is the scandi grind. This is a useful edge for work of any sort but it does come in handy for the tasks necessary for the environment. Scandis, while not being specifically designed for carving, are really the best edge to use for making stakes, spoons, fire starting fire sticks. The edge is very familiar to the wood, and makes a great tool for this task. It functions very well as a kitchen knife for the cutting of meat and vegetables, as well as working as an adaptable knife to use for batoning with smaller wood for kindling, and it is very adept at use during shelter construction. The handle is a very comfortable fit, but it might be better to grab a pair of scales and fix the fit on the knife, for those who have a difficulty with the wider balance on the edge. The blade is strong and will hold up to that which you throw at it, and the design of the handles make it easy to sharpen. It holds a great edge and the blade is very straight and will hold up to the work you do with it. I forgot to mention this. I have a small collection of knives and when I went into my cabinet, I found this knife and there. I was planning on buying one the next day. So, needless to say, I was very pleased that I had the foresight to buy one back when BPS knives came out with the model. I should also state that I have several models of the BPS line, and I have been highly satisfied by their quality and workmanship. Thanks BPS.

Seems very high quality for the low(ish) price. Sharp too!

Fantastic general purpose utility belt knife. The blade is thick, excellently ground, the drop/spear point is thick and strong. The wood handle is thick, secure, and utilitarian. The sheath is strong, thick, secure, and again perfectly utilitarian. If you are looking for a no frills knife that you are happy to use rather than display on shelf this is the knife. Keep it clean and oiled and it will give decades of excellent service.

Unbeatable knife for the price. Yes there is upkeep and maintenance for the non-stainless version but it is well made. To be honest I like the stainless steel version better but this keeps an edge longer without touch ups.
