Nice knife ,I have purchased 4 knives from bps ,may look into getting one , and maybe need to see a review first, though God bless you and your families. Lee
Just got mine today, a superb little knife, a couple of goes on a strop and I could perform surgical operations with it.😂 It's a great carver for sure.
Metallurgist's opinion: The knives look good, especially those without a Scandi grind. However, I see an issue with the steel used, 1066. It will sharpen easily, but the edge retention won’t be great for the price. The exception is the Beta model, made from D2. As a metallurgist, when I compare 1066 steel with 0.65% carbon to something like a carbon Mora made from C100 (almost identical to 1095) with 1% carbon and significantly better edge retention, the BPS knife doesn’t fare well in terms of price-to-edge retention ratio. Essentially, you’re paying an extra $45 for a wooden handle and leather sheath, but not for the steel. For example, the Ganzo G807, which costs around $18, has two to three times better edge retention than the 1066 BPS, and 9cr14mov steel is fairly corrosion-resistant (with 14% chromium helping with edge longevity). Sure, it has a plastic handle, but 9cr14mov is a much superior steel to 1066. If BPS knives were made from 1095/C100, O1, O2, or ideally 80crv2, I wouldn’t complain. But in this case, I don’t think BPS knives are worth the money (with the exception of the Beta model in D2). It’s also important to note that different steels can be processed differently. BUCK’s 420HC proves that even an average steel can perform well with excellent heat treatment. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with BPS. Look up "BPS knife edge retention," and you’ll see that among the tested knives, BPS in 1066 performed the worst, making around 50-60 cuts of sisal rope. Even a carbon Mora costing $7 handles 90-100 cuts. The Ganzo G807, at $18, does 160-170 cuts, and knives made from 9cr18mov or 14c28n reach 250 cuts. BPS makes visually interesting knives, but given the 1066 steel and its average heat treatment, they’re more suited for collectors or occasional users who might cut a stick a few times a year. (And they’ll be surprised how quickly the blade rusts when not in use).
Got mine recently, fantastic knife! Perfect design and execution
Mine just came it the mail. Love it. An absolutely great design and for the price, its going to be a hard nife to beat, even for Mora.
Very cool Knife looks great and as always looks very well made looking foward to getting one once they are availible.
Just got it, Perfect edc
Very nice ❤

Thank you 🙏🏼
Will it come in stainless steel?
We'll think about it, thank you
Hey guys, can we connect on this? I'd love to review it on my channel?
Hello, we are not interested in cooperation at the moment, thank you
