BPS Knives BK06 Camping Knife vs. Savage CSH

- Im always on the lookout for a new knife for bushcraft, survival, camping or just plain outdoor use. Ive heard a lot about BPS knives and decided to take a look. I couldn't decide which to choose from so I got two! I compare them against each other here to see if one is better than the other.

I love both grinds however the BPS full grind is great if your going to also use the knife for food processing. There is more for a knife than just carving. I use my knife for cleaning fish etc... By-the-way, BPS is a Ukrainian knife company and it supplies the Ukrainian Army with knives for FREE. I purchased three knives for myself and my sons to help support them and they are awesome knives. I did purchase the bushcraft knife adventurer, but I like this one and I'll probably buy this one for us as well. Thank you from your friends in Florida 🌴
Thanks for the comments Richard and Thanks for watching Brother
Hello from Ukraine! Thank you very much to your people for supporting my people in such a difficult time! Thank you from all the people of Ukraine!🙏
@@andgar1812 🙏 Prayers for all of you!
Well brother,I’ve never heard of this company or it’s knives but I have now. I will be ordering at least two of them today. Thanks for letting us know about new products,we appreciate it.
Sounds great Randy! Im new to them but really like their knives! Thanks for watching
Sharp video and your audio was well polished! Thanks for all the great info. Those were some top notch knives and the price was a real “steel” 😂 looks like you have a real handle on all of these matters! Keep grinding away my friend, you’re carving out some great content! 😉 🔪 🏕️
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality of these. Thanks for watching and now go enjoy some coffee!😁
☕️ absolutely! 😃
Perfect timing. I just came in from the woods to find a new video from my favorite bushcrafter. Thanks for the review Dave!
Very cool to hear that Steve! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this video! A great way to start the day. Very informative and useful comparison on the knives.
Thanks Robin, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Always informative and thanks for introducing a new brand!! Seems well worth the price. Thank you for all you do for us! Blessings
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Definitely worth the prices! Thanks for watching
I am a new member of your channel - I am a huge nerd and love to learn things and have recently been researching these sort of things. You are frigging awesome at explaining things to a newbie like me. I have some requests that I would like to send your way, but can't see how.
Especially pertaining to how a weaker or woman (such as myself) can do some of these things... getting leverage to build your 2 man tent... etc
I really hope you see this

@@eifffieelephant3381 yes, I've seen it
Hey, Dave! Wow, you've got two killer deals in your hands right now! I checked Amazon and you can get both knives for the same price of $40, or both of them as a bundle for $73. Now, I've always been a flat grind sort of guy, but once I started watching your videos, I saw the value of a Scandi grind, and here's why: The flat grind knife is easier to maintain a good edge on because the angle of the grind is more acute and thus is already angling to an edge, but the trade off is that the steel of the blade is weaker and more prone to breakage, so in the bushcrafting world, it's not as versatile because I'd never trust a flat grind knife to burrow holes in wood like you would for making a hand-drill or bow drill for making fire, but the scandi is beefier and less apt to break. If it sounds like I love both knives, I do! Haha! I believe I'd use the flat grind for curls and slicing veggies and such and the scandi for the brunt of the work load, but if I had to only have one, it'd be the scandi, but that's me. (I am never above having more than one blade on me at a time, though). Thanks once again for making my Friday start out with some wonderful video watching, Dave. You really make the Fridays you're on here with something new really cool! Rock on, brother!
Good comments! I pretty much love scandi grinds for all woodworking and bushcraft chores. Full flat grinds are better for skinning, filleting and cook duties. I'm glad you like the videos and thanks for watching my friend!
I have the Savage and a scandi BPS, the first I use for kitchen work and the latter outside. As you said the sheaths are excellent. Thanks
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Robert
I picked up the BPS Adventurer, it's kind of like the camp knife you are testing, but with a full tang. Also, the sheath has a small ferro rod on it. Liked it enough to buy another one and then the Nighthawk version. It's the same as the Adventurer, but it has black scales and a black sheath. Of course my wife claimed the Nighthawk. lol
The scales on the Nighthawk were just a bit to small and the tang stuck out in a few spots. For $42 it isn't realistic to expect perfect fit and finish. I was going to just hit it with the belt sander, but I contacted BPS to just order a new set of scales. Instead, they explained that a small batch of wood was having an issue with shrinking so the sent meva new set, that fit perfectly, on their dime. That kind of customer service is what will keep me coming back.
Fantastic to hear they were good to you Rodney!
Another fine review! Testing the two knives side by side was most helpful; I have seen people explaining their preference for one grind over another, but this was the first comparison I have seen with knives from the same steel, and I expect same heat treat. You showed the utility of the two grinds very well. I have the BPS 1 with scandi grind, but have not put it to use yet. Think I will buy a BPS with a flat grind because the Scandi looks lonely. By the way, tell me about that axe, please. Looked very useful, though the handle looked a bit long for strapping to a pack. Please keep your videos coming. I have a lot of your videos from before to catch up on, but I would like more to keep me going well into future. McCoy
Thanks McCoy, I'm glad you liked it. Both these knives worked well but I'm thinking the full flats grind would be better for cooking chores rather than wood carving. That axe is a German Oshenkopf and it's going to be on another upcoming video. Take care and thanks for watching
Good morning, Dave. Great show. Thank you.
I like Skandi-grind, but I'm not a fan of rat-tailed tang because some can twist in the handles down the road. (especially if they've gotten wet and dried out a few times). But that's just personal preference. I don't know if they make a skandi-grind in full tang, but that's my favorite. (Please send some of that good weather up to Maine) 😂 Have a blessed day, my friend.
Hello and Im glad you liked it. Id definitely prefer a full tang but a scandi grind is usually my preference no matter what. Thanks for watching
@@vanq86
Ok, thank you.
@@Reallybigmonkey1
Do you know if Morakniv has a double grind.? Or just ground on one side of the blade.?
@@jenky1044 as far as I know all Moras are scandi grind with a micro bevel.
They need to send you a royalty. I ordered 4 of their knives after watching your video. I have 5 grandkids, and as they come of age, I will gift these to them.
Very cool to hear that Dan! Or they could give me lots of knives. Lol.
Thank you for the review. I've seen the name BPS for a while now. For some reason, I thought it stood for Bass Pro Shop. 🤔 I'll have to check them out.
Lol, that does make sense it could stand for that. BPS definitely makes some good affordable knives! Thanks for watching Mark
The full flat grind makes Bugles and the Scandi grind makes Beagles.!! Always as entertaining & full of wonderful ideas & advise. It will take mileage & a very good hand for a knife to obey its master. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So where Nick.!?
Lol!, Im glad you liked it. Nick is still working constantly! Thanks for watching
Hi bigmonkey the bps adventure is scandi grind stainless steel and full tang and it beats both of them in my opinion same price same company great video as always peace and love from 1 leg UK England
Sounds like my kinda knife! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Mtn man here from the smokies of nc setting here on Friday night watching fun in the woods 🐺 all ways good to watch ur vids U being out side rain gone be down in the 20 tonight here 👍👍
Im glad you like the videos brother! Stay warm and Thanks for watching
For some reason you reminded me of Fess Parker today. 🥰 Awesome knife review! Seems like having one of each is the way to go. 🙂 Cheers!
Lol, really? I'm glad you liked it Sara and thanks for watching!
Thanks for another exciting video Dave! People can always trust what you say about gear because you don't get paid to pretend something is good if it's not. 👍
Im glad you liked it Ian! Yep, if I like gear, I actually like it! Thanks for watching
Good video, thanks Dave😍
Thanks Brenda! I'm glad you liked it
Hey Dave, I'd go with either one, but the only thing I'd do would be to modify the Camp knife with a hole in the handle for a lanyard. It seems to me the Savage would be more apt for fileting fish and skinning than bushcraft and camping. I like them both, though. Thanks for the review.
I gotta agree with you Tom. That scandi version is definitely more for bushcraft chores. Take care and thanks for watching brother
Bps makes some pretty decent blades and i definitely enjoy them. I have their little bushcraft knife as the companion on my condor village parang excellent little carvers and i have carved two walking sticks with it. Cheers brother hope you are enjoying your time!
Very good blades for the price, thanks for sharing that and Thanks for watching Brother!
I prefer the design of the Savage because with slab handles it can be made clean. Anytime there is a tang that runs into a handle there is often the chance of dirt or water entering into the gap. Besides that I think they both do seem like great buys.
Makes sense, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for watching Frank
@@Reallybigmonkey1 But of course.... you know me by another name.
One thing you passed over was the spine of those knives for scraping and ferro rod use. I am impressed with BPS knives and value for what you get, they are very good. I do prefer the Scandi grind.
Yep, both have very sharp spines. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Russel
Dave … Excellent review!!! I’m knife heavy at this time, but I’d go with the Scandi grind partial tang knife for camp chores out of a non-folder. Hope the new year has started right for you and yours!!! Take care, be safe, best wishes and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨🌾✝️🙏🖖
Thanks Chuck! I'm glad you liked it. I think the Scandi one is my favorite too. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother
Good knifes. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Yup, just like Mors says 2% of the wood in the forest is fit for making proper feather sticks.
Exactly!
The Adventurer might be a better choice for you for the scandi option. It's about the same size as the camp knife, but is full tang. Also 1066.
Yep, I'd definitely like that knife. Thanks for watching
I like Scandi grinds, but I have so many already that the Savage (their flat grind) is more attractive to me from a styling point of view, and it has a full tang too, which I like because I do baton my fixed blades. I'm not so sure I'd like 1066, as it's rainy and humid most of the year where I go camping. Thanks for the review, no doubt it's a good price.
Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you liked the video. If it's constantly humid and damp I'd definitely go with something stainless. 1066 always needs oiling
Great video! Very detailed review and test brother!
Thanks, Im glad you liked it Brother Tenda!
Looking at their Etsy store, they have a lot, including blanks.
Great to hear that! I never knew
Hello Dave, thank you for this very interesting comparison, I listened carefully to the conclusion, out of curiosity why do you say that the Scharde is horrible? Anyway, thanks for this great review. 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. That Schrade wouldn't cut anything out of the box. I sharpened and sharpened and reprofiled it and nothing made it a useable knife. It's worthless. Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Ok I understand Dave. See you next time 👍
Dave is the hillbilly Bob Ross of the bushcraft world. 😂 Love the channel.
Lol! Thanks Trey!
I recently bought one of the BPS Nighthawk Adventurer knives. The edge folded while cutting a piece of paracord. Could just be a lemon but it is pretty rough construction all around. I am certainly not impressed with the one I received.
Really? I hate to hear that. I hope you returned it so they could make it right.
Maybe they were being shelled when they made that one.
@@mccoyburgess844
Maybe. That would likely rattle your nerves a bit while trying to put an edge on a blade.
@@Reallybigmonkey1
That was one of their stainless adventurer models. I returned it to swap out for one of their 1066 carbon steel knives. It looks like it came out of an entirely different shop. Everyone sends out a lemon sooner or later.
For me an all around camp knife must be able to process food as well as wood carving chores.. My scandi grinds just do not do well in food prep.. I have several BPS knives, Moras, etc.. I will probably buy both of these knives to support the people of Ukraine…
I dont mind carrying two knives all the time. I usually go scandi for wood carving and have a full or partial flat S.S. for food prep. Thanks for watching David
@@Reallybigmonkey1 As a former Army Ranger I always carry 3 knives…
Ukrainian knives? Guess the Russkies haven't bombed the factory yet. Well I guess I have another manufacturer to check out. "Random piece of wood I found". Priceless statement that put a smile on my face. Good job on reviewing the knives. They don't have to be expensive to be good, although I have a few of what I consider to be expensive knives. I'm a knife junkie kind of guy. Enjoyed as usual.
I don't know where their factory is located but I'm thinking only parts of Ukraine are a war zone. Some of it's probably not effected. Lol, I say random piece of wood because some people search and pick out wood that makes the absolutely best curls. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching James!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 You are most welcome. Love your videos. And the best thing about them is you take the time, out of what I am sure is a busy schedule, to reply to just about all of them. You are a true gentleman.
Hey David, question for you, have you ever seen a nesting cup/pot for the 2 quart military canteen?
Never seen one but I have always wanted one. I thought about making one?
8:49 That’s what she said! 😂😂. Sorry, couldn’t resist…
Lol.
Sure looked to me like that flat grind coulda used a few licks on the stone.
I think it really needed a few degrees less on the secondary bevel
….or that.
Yes they are very good knives I have had a few a !ong time
Great to hear that Terry
So it appears that the scandi grind on a full tang in carbon steel is going to be the way to go?
For bushcraft chores? Absolutely. I think the full flat grind is more for skinning filleting and cook duties.
Hi Dave, for the price of the knives, do you think they are a good deal?
Definitely. The quality is equal to Condor knives but half the price. They are a great value
Hey Dave scandi or flat it depends on what your used to but what I question is the steel is im an old blacksmith and I would use 1084 or 1095 whats the hardness on the blade
The manufacturer says it's between 56 to 57 RC.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 That's is awsome that would be a good level of hardness
Was really trying to send a private message to you but now found out that this is no longer possible on You Tube. Commenting is by far not the best as there are zillions of comments to each video posted by creators. and replies are in most cases ....zero. Anyway lets try.. I in search of a machete to cut in particular , coconuts & bamboo. Locally we have the Condor range available and I have short listed a couple but don't know which is best suited for those 2 type vegetation . Saw you videos and find you are best knowledgeable about such matters. Names like the Yoshima Macara , Duku & Warlock are along the lines I'm thinking . Would you suggest one and state what is required to cut such items
Pretty much any heavy machine will work on coconuts but bamboo is a different story. You need a machete that's curved towards the cutting edge. Kinda like what's called a Billhook. Look at this link. www.amazon.com/Knights-Armur-Billhook-Sickle-Machete/dp/B07NZ84S67/ref=asc_df_B07NZ84S67/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242081228138&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14630592266802263163&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015493&hvtargid=pla-720475642077&psc=1
Moras still one of your favorites Dave?
One of my favorites yes. I love Mora, BPS, Casstrom Marttiini and Ontario.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Thanks Dave! Looking forward to your next adventure!
Hey. Do you think that knife worked easier for you than a Mora knife? Just curious
The scandi grind knife cut identically to a good Mora. The only difference was the handle size was much larger. Thanks for watching Keith
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Sweet. Thank I'll just stick with my Mora Companion HD then. Thanks for the reply back my friend 👍
David you always look to be in morel mushroom area. You hunt them or made any videos on foraging?
Never. I'm not skilled enough to positively identify mushrooms on my own so I don't mess with them. Better safe than sorry!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Google helps research it all. Either way I enjoy your videos, we don't need you dying from a mushroom.
That is one of the BPS knives I own, I have 2, and its pretty good. Not my favorite, love the handle, but the little metal guard piece has come lose and jiggles about.
Those have both been really good knives so far for the price range
Way to show actual knife uses instead of just hammering it through logs, then complaining that a $30 knife didn't perform like a $300 knife. BPS makes a solid, affordable knife.
Very well said! Knives are for cutting carving and slicing. Axes and machetes do that other stuff.
I ordered a Savage, can't wait to try it out. You have piqued my curiosity about the Schrade that was almost unusable. Did you do a video on that one and I missed it? I'd like to see your take on the Ontario RAT6 in S35VN. It's another full flat grind but really nice price for a made in the US knife in a super steel. Love your vids.
I didn't do a video on the Schrade knife, I hate making an entire video trashing a knife. If I remember it was a sch56 something. Horrible knife. I love Ontario's but I'm not a huge fan of full flat grinds. I'm glad you like the videos!
Seems similar quality to Moras. Flat grinds are not ideal for curls. The flat grind bites, and digs into the wood. Thanks for the comparison of the two! I'll stick with my 73 forge blades. Thanks for sharing with us Dave!
Very similar to Moras, except for wooden handles and leather sheaths. I love my 73forge knife! Thanks for watching my friend
Both Performed Nicely On Your Tests, Thanks Davey ! Hay Nick. Have A Great Weekend Friends. ATB T God Bless
Yep, Im pretty happy with both! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too Terry!
Hello Dave, I agree, BPS Knives make good stuff. I ordered three different models of their product line. And I can tell they are worth it, like them. Good value. Thanks for showing! Grüße aus Deutschland! Torsten
Hello Torsten! I figured Id give them a try and Im pretty happy with these knives! Thanks for watching
Interesting! I can’t help wondering about the final bevel on that full flat knife. I’m itching to look at it with the 10X loupe from the bench next to my 2x72 belt machine - then maybe alter that angle a bit…🙄
I don't know what it is but if it was a bit more narrow it would carve wood better. Thanks for watching
Lol...I own 5 of these. I found them about a year or so ago while looking at European makers. Cannot beat the value fir money. My favorite is the bc1. It's a copy of the Condor bushlore which I own aswell. Half the price and I can't tell the difference. Oh Bog oak is oak that has been sitting in a wetland submerged for a long time. Pretty cool. And yes a great video as always. Stay safe out there
Very cool to hear that! I agree, these are a much better value than any of the Condors. Take care and thanks for watching brother
@@Reallybigmonkey1 you to
Oh and the bps adventure comes with a sheath and a £25 decent fire starter peace and love from 1 leg UK England
Thanks for the info
Pretty cool knives. You know me, I’m a knife junkie. I just got a jeotech and a work tuff. Both fixed blade bushcraft knives. Really awesome blades. I’ll probably get a few more knives coming up soon.🐸🍺🔪🔥
Im glad you liked them. I havent heard of them two, Ill have to look them up. Thanks for watching Johnny
Flat grinds work great for pocket knives and cutting rope...outside of that in a survival situation I prefer the following.....CPM3v or Elmax A full tang ( not rat tail ) a 1/4 blade thickness with a sharp 90 degree spine ( must strike a ferro rod ) blade length of at least 6" and 7" would be perfect ( better for battoning ) and finally the most important feature on a Survival knife which I feel there is a difference between Bushcraft and Survival and that is your knife grind in my opinion needs to be convex. Yes I like SCANDI but I find SCANDI only suited for small tasks whereas CONVEX has more versatility and holds an edge longer especially if you are splitting wood. For my scandi grind brothers out there yes they make curls like crazy but in survival your tasks will encompass so much more...give Convex a try. Very nice bushcraft knives Dave. I am sure you will love them.
Thanks for the comments! To me theres three different cases for knives, 1.survival 2. bushcraft 3 cooking skinning filleting. Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Handmade full tang is always a good decision.
Absolutely, thats a tough knife.
I have 2 of the BPS knives. Mine were both around $33. Full tang. Exposed tang at the end. Extremely sharp blade and 90° spine. Excellent thick leather dangler sheaths. I wouldn't have got that camp knife you bought. Not full tang. Good video Dave. HK15 and HK5 are the ones I bought. That Savage looks like the handle is rather wimpy and undersized. I don't know why they didn't make it a little beefier.
I do rough work with axes and machetes so, Im easy on knives and dont beat on them. Scandi grind is usually my first choice. Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
The 'Savage' is more a chefs knife for the outdoor kitchen. The BK06 more a very cold/hot weather wood processing knife. I only have the BS1FT in stainless and that's a compact knife. I bought it when BPS was relatively new in the market and it came with a very sturdy heavy duty green canvas sheath instead of leather. I actually like that since it dries quicker and keeps it shape better than leather. The 'Adventurer' is by shape also more a chefs knife but has a scandi grind. It's a bit longer but I would say best of both worlds. If a knife is 3mm or under thick at the spine I don't like a flat grind or high saber grind. It becomes to weak mostly at the tip. For in the home kitchen no problem of course. When it's 4mm or over thick at the spine now a high saber or flat grind can be ok since it's still strong and the grind will increase the food prep part. So for me the turning point is at about 3,5mm. For a wood carver a narrow blade is better and for food prep a wider blade that reaches under the handle so your knuckles won't hit the cutting board so much. What I'm really waiting for is for the Friction Folder SSH to come back in stock but that might never happen. If so I would buy 2 of them and 1 Adventurer. But as always a good review and demonstration of techniques.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching
I like "Full Tang" and that's my preference, but I'm not a Flat Grin fan, I'm a Scandi, Saber, and Convex Grin fan, and a little bit of a hollow grin. And I just don't like any stick tang, must be a full tang. Great video Dave, thanks for sharing.
As long as it's a scandi grind I'm happy. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for watching
Hi dave. Thanks for the review and the knifework demonstration. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Hello Nigel! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching
My Opinel knives will do a lot of wood work, but they are better at slicey dicey stuff. My Mora will cut/chop food, but it’s better at wood work. The same with the knives you were using. As you demonstrated, both blade grinds can be used to do a lot of tasks, but each grind has its place. ✌️🇺🇸😘👏👏👏👏 Have a great weekend.
Very well said! Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend too!
Nice test, David. BPS is well worth the money.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I am looking for a knife sharpening system I can use. I have parkinson disease so free hand is out of the question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea which system is good one handed other than just freehanding on a Japanese water stone. Thanks for watching Jerry
I have the BPS knock-off of the Mora HD. It is full tang, and except for its tendency to rust, it has become my main neck knife. I blued it, and I put beeswax on it as maintenance, and for my use, it is ten out of ten. :)
That's good to hear it's such a good knife!
a interesting comparison, I would take the camping knife ( because I would be afraid that the thin blade of the other knife could break ).
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Both are good but I'm definitely partial to the scandi camping knife
I recently bought the BPS adventurer in stainless..
I like it so much it hasnt left my kitchen bench lol..
But I used the excellent quality sheath for my terava puko 140..
Yes I know scandi grinds dont make for a good cheffs knife.. but I aint no cheff lol..
I'm amazed at the quality of the knives and the sheathes for the price from BPS
I bought one… then another… and another…I now have I think 9? Maybe 10? I can honestly tell you this.. I have had a knife or multiple knives on my person for 50 plus years. And now I carry a bps everyday..I use one everyday, I hunt, camp, teach, bushcraft, survival challenges all with a bps .. penny to pound it can’t be beat!
Fantastic to hear you like them so much! Thanks for watching
I got my Mora knife today. I'm not sure if I got the right one. It's orange and says Moraknil, from Sweden. Says companion Heavy duty.
Yep, that's the right one! Companion HD is the best user knife they make in my opinion
BPS knives are great! I have 3 of them, none of which are one of those lol. I can't remember the model nbrs other than the Adventurer, and I have the one that looks like the Condor Bushlore, and the one with a slight recurve. 1066 is ok, but nothing special. It's fairly tough, but won't hold it's edge for long. It sharpens easily, and if you don't let it go entirely dull, it strops back to sharp pretty well. I've enjoyed using mine. Mine are all scandi grinds, and I blued 2 of them to hopefully keep the rust at bay. I use my pocket knife for food normally, so I'm not worried about the bluing contaminating my food, but I did leave one of them raw steel. I may do a apple cider vinegar patina on that one. 1066 WILL rust if you don't maintain it. The scandi grinds work great, but I am thinking of getting the Savage too.
I always enjoy your videos Dave. Thanks for the years of very helpful and educating work you have put into your videos!!!
Yes they are really good knives! I usually do the same and keep my knives stropped and rarely let them get really dull. I'm glad you like the videos and thanks for watching!
Hi David, I was watching this again because I forgot that I’d already seen it, but it was just as good the second time! I was going to tell you, I saw a Stromeng KS9 the other day that was just like yours from Norway! What a beautiful knife, I can see why you like it so much! Going to have some coffee now, hope you’re well! ☕️☕️☕️👍🏻
All is well here and that Stromeng brand are definitely excellent knives! Thanks for watching and enjoy the coffee Brother!
Good mention on the Savage; if I was a trapper/skinner. Now get on out there and grab a few 12" slab crappies to test on. (-:
Fun stuff Dave. I never thought I'd tell you "nice dimples"
The pot hanger would be fun to try even though I've two folding stoves...Zebra billy pot hang would take some thinkin' due to broad handle, or maybe a crimped SS cable for a loop would be handy to have for various not thought of.

Nice one 👍 Dave great video 👍
Thanks Dave, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I’m thinking about picking up the Savage for my kitchen. I really don’t need anymore bushcraft knives.
With the full flat grind it would be great for cook chores.
I was just thinking the other day, that I'd really like your opinion on some BPS knives. I was gonna ask you for an adress to ship you one or two. But you made the video already! I have three different types of BPS knives, and I love them all. Like you said, theu're good knives and affordable.
No need now, I already love them! Thanks for watching
Scandi is the winner hands down! Great show. Thanks for sharing Dave. My wife asked if you can gather some of that rotten wood termite free for her hugelkultur garden 😂
Oh scandi grind is always first choice for bushcraft chores! Im glad you liked it. Man I have no idea what a Hugelkutur is! Thanks for watching
Hv 2 of the hk 1s..
Over a year now with no regrets.
Peeled some Brazilian pepper wood & it puts a nice dark patina on em.
Skinned out a few hogs too..
So far they hv been the perfect size for my need's..
Sounds great Tom!
The black knife is not good for winter. Without gloves your hand touches the metal of the handle. Where I live it can be very cold when the wind comes from N-NE. That is from Finland.

P.P.S. Not sure if any one has mentioned, but if you take the handles off your Savage, you may find some rust. Its easy to sand off. Then coat with mineral oil, put the handle scales back on, and your good to go.
I haven't even looked. I'll take them off and see
These knives were half the price they are now b4 the war. I keep up with the news and saw invasion coming and bought 8 of them. Different models and gave them as Christmas presents. I found them to be a tremendous value. Out of the box the sharpest I've ever got. They claim that they are capable of any and all bushcraft tasks. Even batoning. I think the factory got bombed by Russia. That's why they are selling out and hard to find.
Thanks for the info. I never knew they were affected by the war.
Mam nóż bacho 1446 jest tanie i trochę krótki,korruje min kabele otuliny żeby pozyskać miedź ale w starych kablach jest ciężko czy można kupić coś lepszego nie wiele drożej
Chyba najlepiej będzie kupić Morę. Dzięki za oglądanie.
I'm curious about the smaller, rounder shaped handle on the Savage. Would worry about less of a grip?
It's much better when wearing gloves. Bare handed it is pretty small
BPS knives are inexpensive and come razor sharp. Well made for the money. I love mine.
I gotta agree! Thanks for watching
I took a look and I only see the Savage as being in stock and available. They make several knives, but the Savage looks like the most modern design. I haven't purchased anything from Schrade in a while. I don't know if their blades are as good or have declined in quality, but I remember that a few years ago they were making some great knives.
PBS is bad about selling out of everything pretty fast. Yep, years ago Schrade was pretty good but the last few items I recieved were terrible quality. Thanks for watching
I’m going with beaver craft BSH1. I believe they’re made by bps possibly
Sounds good to me!
Well Dave, I don't have a scandi grind knife. But I'm going to be getting the one you just used it did a very good job 👍. great video. Thanks
Fantastic to hear that Richard! Nothing beats a scandi grind for wood carving. Thanks for watching
That scandy grind is nice.....looks like the handle would be comfortable
Very comfortable handle, I love using it. Thanks for watching Kent
It is called Bog Oak because it is a tree or a piece of oak, that has been laying in a bog for thousands of years. And they have become a super stabile wood for knifegrips. That is also the reason they are black.
Thanks for the info, I never knew that
The Savage is my current EDC and favorite knife....
Great review, sir
Very cool to hear that! Thanks for watching
I have several of the bps knives with the scandi grind. The one I have are all 1066 carbon. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better knife at their price point. Great video.
Great to hear that Jerry and I'm glad you liked the video!
Great video great tutorial on pot having I wish you would have tagged the Dutch Bushcraft knives on the
Challenge
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Tagging them guys wouldn't do anything I bet. Anytime I ever commented on there videos they never answered me so I stopped watching. Thanks for watching Miguel
THANK YOU - A wonderful weekend for you dear friend 👣🌲🌲🌲
You are very welcome and you have a great weekend too Ofer!
Full flat grind blades are not going to take off chunks of wood as well as a Scandi grind. The Scandi bevel is more like a chisel in shaping wood. I like a full flat grind for slicing tasks around the camp kitchen. Full tang or partial tang didn't seem to matter much in this test.
Sounds good to me. That full flat grind will be an excellent skinning filleting cooking knife. Thanks for watching
P.S. treat the leather sheaths with a good coat of boiled Linseed Oil. Now your sheath is water proofed, dont forget the inside. And it will stretch and fit the knife better.
I usually use Neatsfooot oil
