Review on BPS Knives HK5 Camping Full-Tang Knife: Carbon Steel Bushcraft Knife with Walnut Wood Handle and Leather Sheath by Shane Popo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best option for outdoor activities

I have bought BPS B1, BPS HK1S and this BPS HK5. To be honest the B1 and HK1S are fantastic knives of surprisingly high quality. (By the way, all sheaths are of excellent quality.) But I hesitated to take this HK5 because I didn't know if the handle would fit my hand, but in fact it fits my hand perfectly! Unfortunately, the knife itself looks like a prototype or "second one", since the slightly rusted shaft is serrated and the blade tip by about two knives. . I love the design of the HK1S so much that I (as an aspiring knife maker) decided to see if I could fix it myself. The removable (and beautiful) grip pads are a big plus for me as it will make repairing the knife much easier. The steel of the knife appears to be very good and was very sharp (not as sharp as mine but it passed the paper cutting test well). Now I go to the store - the adventure begins.

Pros
  • High test results for grip and durability
Cons
  • Upgradeable
