Everybody’s greatest criticism of this knife is the sheath and how easily the knife can be pulled out. which has nothing to do with whether the knife can fall out .
Awful knives, you could buy three mora robust knives for the same price, well in the UK anyway. I'm not influenced by the Ukraine, Russia propaganda when purchasing a knife. In my experience the steel used for making these knives is awful, utter rust buckets.
Good review and the same complaints every other person who reviewed this knife has. I don't see what's special about the design. It looks like almost every other small camp knife I have. I think the BPS Adventurer makes a lot better knife even if it's a bit longer. You should have tested the firesteel that came with it with the scraper on your other firesteel to see if the firesteel is any good. But you sponsored DBG (Dutch Bushcraft Girls) since they get 10% of every sale. And these girls must have seen these complaints but didn't take any action and neither did BPS. DBK only plays around in their backyard and their original knife wasn't even tested long term out in nature. They just imitated a BRK but since BRK didn't want to make it they went to TRC. TRC makes very good knives by themselves and I like them. But DBK is a no for me.
I have 2 BPS knives. Both have excellent heavy leather sheaths that retain the knife well. Both have hex screws instead of the pins used by the DBK knife. They made a big mistake when they switched to the inferior pins.
The sheath on mine does the same thing and I bought it several months ago so it’s an ongoing issue. Doesn’t really bother me. Mine did come in very sharp so that’s a surprise. And it throws sparks. And the overall workmanship was pretty good for the price. I have two other models as well. The HK5 that I received is very nice.
Great review! Looks really solid. Was very surprised on the dullness and the ferro rod. I have looked at BPS often and still may tackle one. I’ll pass on this one for sure
Just a suggestion-instead of putting a new hole in the retention strap, move the pin over about a half inch. Retention still isn’t great, but it’s better.
The knife locking strap is incorrectly installed (in the wrong direction). Rotate 180°. Das exakt gleiche Messer funktioniert bei mir mit Feuerstahl einwandfrei.
Needs a convex edge, in my opinion .the spine is too soft for fire , and maybe it was a dud .I have an adventure and a small one forgetting the name but strikes a rod great forro rod ,God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😀 😊 👍. Lee

I had the same issues; thus, I returned it. The second I purchased worked fine as far as throwing sparks and leather sheet retention

Nothing unusual...Apokalypse knives for 500 bucks have no 90 degrees spine too..no problem to have firestriker with

Mine came razor sharp right out of the box. All I did was strop it .

Mine could barely cut wood when new. With the regrind, it is much better, but it was a significant amount of work to fix.
Great review on the knife🔪🗡
That is one hard firesteel, lol!

The sheath on mine is lock tight, without the strap closed it passes the upside down and shake the beans out of it test. 🙃
Wow. All the bps knives I got were sharp. Maybe it's cause it's dbk?

Fantastic review there but it would not sway me from buying another Condor, health to you.
DBK reminds me of dumb and dumber!
