BPS Knives HK6 - Handmade Stainless Steel Knife - Fixed Blade Full Tang Bushcraft Knives - Scandinavian Camping Hunting Knife With Leather Sheath - Utility Outdoor Knives

These are very nice knives made of good steel ( both the Carbon and Stainless). I bought the HK6 and Adventure models. BUT - Handmade + massed produced - There's gonna be some variances. These are working knives for savvy workers, hunters, & outdoors types. Yard work here in Texas ( in Texas the yards literally fight back. we have this one plentiful weed that just ignores my machete collection). The knife you get may be perfect. Might not. I knew this going in. Both of mine really kind of needed just a little tender loving care polishing/filing/corner grinding on the tang where it protrudes from the grip all the way around. No Points off for this. Just know it. Both mine had multiple places on the grip where a paper-like cut could happen or scraping off your skin, or just causing a blister. If you absolute require a finely polished & finished tool, pay an extra $100 or so for some other brand. Again - other buyers mention this issue. To fix it is a Very minor, EZ Peasy repair. #1 - Wrap that sharp blade, first thing right off. Preferably with leather, a piece of tire tube, or something. #2 - Blade wrapped - Remove the Two 2.5mm hex screws. 2.5 mm is a common metric hex size. If you own a bicycle or vehicle you work on ( or ever got gifted a tool set that came with a metric hex set - you probably already own one. If not or if you don't want to go digging through your stuff - ANY cheap metric Hex Set should have a 2.5mm wrench with it. Complete set $5-$10 do not pay more. A metric screwdriver hex bit set is also a thing. So take out the screws, they come out easily, the slabs fall off, don't lose any of that stuff. Blade Wrapped ( I'm really pushing safety here. A wrapped blade is better and cheaper and more fun that the ER on a weekend. ), slabs off - you just need to lightly file ( manual or Dremel) around the GRIP portion of the knife blade to smooth & remove sharp EDGES. The stainless will be more difficult than the carbon because it's harder. Wear Goggles - you are doing metal work. Maybe with a power tool. Some have mentioned using Carbide scrapers and the back of the blade of a Utility razor knife. That should work with the carbon blades, but doing that on stainless is a hard "Maybe". 800 grit proper steel sanding sandpaper should work. Not the sandpaper you sand & polish wood with. Me, I had choices and I used a hand file. I may go back, do it again and use a rotary tool ( Dremel).Almost done. So you hopefully got rid of the sharp edges on the tang. And all I'm suggesting is EDGES corners. If you want to start removing more metal than that - You Be You ( safely). So wipe that tang with a tiny bit of oil. Mineral ( Baby) oil would be just fine. put the slabs back so holes line up ( here I suggest using BLUE Loctite on the female threads) and just carefully screw it back together "Snug" not tight & hard. If you lean into tightening you will most probably crack any knife slab, but wood especially.Too tight and it may just snap or weeks or months go by and a humidity change and a crack will appear.All of this reads a lot more difficult that it is. There are YouTube videos on it. I did both of mine together and I am no sort of artisan and everything was done & all good & done including cleanup in under an hour. Maybe 30-40 minutes.

It's not super sharp right of the box but if you will resharp it, it's a really good knife. Very ergonomic handle

I love these knives they are so convenient comfortable to use well made you can’t beat them and I mean it you can’t beat the value I would love to own every single thing they make but I’m limited on funds absolutely amazing knives craftsmanship is top notch durability is outstanding hold it’s edge well a very quick stone and back to sharp edge just clean it and oil it no big deal for a good knife.

The knife is well made and blade is sharp enough for rough cutting. It would require sharpening to make it useful as a general purpose outdoor carry. The only problem I have is the sharp edges everywhere it should not be. The protrution at the end of wood handle is bare metal and it is dangerously sharp that can cut your hand if the knif slipped and the handle slicing through your palm. I would grind the sharp edges to avoid cutting my self.

Outstanding knife. High quality. Would buy again

The wood scales are drilled wrong, so the tang is not flush on top or bottom of the handle. IE they did not oversize the scales, then sand them down to the tang. Tang sticks up on the top about 1mm and the scales are past the tang the same on the bottom. I'm just going to fix it myself. The scabbard is really nice tho.

Great Ukrainian made knife! Great fit in hand. Light bushcraft knife. Nice size tang thickness. Nice square edge for flint striking. Went to order a second but it went up in price, but worth it just the same. Impressive.

I am very pleased with the overall quality of the knife when compared to the price. It is not a custom knife. It is a good quality basic knife with a nice high quality sheath
