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

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.

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.

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.

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?

@MarkYoungBushcraft

Try wetting (very wet) the ferro-rod loop with water, then try inserting the rod. You may need to use something else to stretch it first. Once you get the rod in, leave it and let the sheath dry. It will hold the new shape after that. Remember, as you use the rod, it will get smaller. The bungee will help it from dropping out. Hope this helps

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

1066 is less likely to chip than 1095, it’s easier to sharpen than 1095 but doesn’t hold an edge as good 1095. But 1095 is harder to sharpen but will hold an edge better. Depends on what your needs are
