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).

Thanks for this comprehensive reply, You got a point. I guess if you're seriously in bushcraft you don't get a 1066 knife. Some people do bushcraft on the side. if you want a practice knife that looks good and is easy to sharpen and cheap it might be a good option. I have it as a knife to compare to other knives. (what do you get for 50 dollar) But I never use it as my goto knife. Greetings Wim

@@traveler5898 That was my point, BPS is not cheap. For price of BPS you can have better knife or even much cheaper. Looks good, thats all. Remember Old Hickory knives. They are US made, 1095 steel (only little bit softer than could be), let's say it's similar processing level. Old Hickory is cheaper than BPS. In my country BPS knives costs about 60-70 bucks and we are really close to Ukraine (CZ).

I’ve owned the Joker Ember with curly birch scales for a year and a half. It is quite a versatile knife for camping and bushcraft. The thickness and grind are great for larger tasks. Fine, detailed carving is possible but cumbersome. I have a smaller, thinner Kellam Puukko for fine carving. The two together are great companion knives.

Hi there! I'm a big fan of Morakniv. With my Mora 2000, I can handle everything I need for camping and in the forest. But I wanted a cooler knife. However, the Mora AHS WOOD collection costs $200 for the same steel as the Companion. That's ridiculous! Then I discovered the Joker Bushlord. I watched your video and trusted the knife. I ordered it online, and it arrived today. I'm very satisfied with it. Thanks for your video!

Great review. Everyone else I saw they had it for a bit and did a small review. At most I saw a one year fete review. I’ve bought mine in 2014-2015? and used it everyday and I’ll continue to use it until it breaks. Besides a small rip in the shoulder strap it looks almost brand new, even after the years and years of everyday commute, camping, scuba trips, hikes, climbing, dogs, cats, photo trips, this bag has seen it all. The only thing that I can fault it is not having a water bottle bag integrated. The water bag compartment makes a great documents holder. Love this bag and I’m amazed it still looks almost good as new.

Were wellco available 2 years ago? I heard the company closed. I live in Peru and got a Wellco pair but I think they may be a clone, though they are high quality and sold as American made (there is no china label anywhere) compared to the local made WellcoPeruana's and the claimed Chinese made. They look identical to yours and have the same pros and cons, but the draining eyelets are metal mesh instead of poked holes. Mine have a small label that reads "wellco" and a US flag, with the size and year of production stamped in white on the front inside. Do yours have this label? They costed 180 PEN which is about 45 USD. Nice video, cheers

The chisel and file come in quite handy for whittling. It's much easier to make anything concave with the chisel and the file is great to smooth out the carving lines which is especially great if you carve any tool with a handle, like a wooden mallet. It's just much better to use with a handle that's filed smooth. Also, the saws are the two thinnest layers you can have on a 91mm Vic, so adding the file and chisel to a Huntsman doesn't really make it all that more bulky or heavy. You can also use the file to file your nails and clean under them with the tip which as you said is quite handy! The Ranger is just insanely tool dense and in my experience every tool on it comes handy when bushcrafting.
@traveler5898
@traveler5898 3 ай бұрын
Good point, It comes down to how often u use those tools compared to the volume and weight. For me the huntsman is more than enough 95% of the time. Having said that, I usually also have the Ranger at the campsite. As long as the tool works for you, you can carry as many layers as you want. Or as many different knives. Greetings and enjoy, Wim

I've been using mine for years now. I modified it by sewing 4 molle points under the pack so i can attach savotta sleeping pad with 2 straps. My main complaint with the bag would be the narrow shoulder strap area. If you have a relative big chest its gonna be uncomfortable. Also the shoulder pads are too short, i wish it ran a little more down, again chest issues. All in all I love it though mainly for its authenticity and durability. I'm a sucker for external frames.

Geweldige review, dank je wel! De Xtorm EVOKE solar charger AM 121 lijkt echt een gamechanger te zijn voor outdoor avonturiers. Het idee dat je je apparaten kunt opladen terwijl je wandelt, maakt lange tochten een stuk aangenamer en veiliger. De compacte en lichte constructie is ideaal voor wandelaars die niet veel extra gewicht willen meenemen. Bovendien is het indrukwekkend om te zien hoe efficiënt de zonnecellen zijn, zelfs bij minder zonnig weer. Heb je toevallig ervaring met hoe lang het duurt om een gemiddelde smartphone volledig op te laden met deze oplader? Dit zou een waardevolle aanvulling zijn voor toekomstige gebruikers. Nogmaals bedankt voor de gedetailleerde uitleg en demonstratie!

If you want the best value knife i can recommend the green army knife (08 version). It's the same size as the two big ones you covered, has an incredibly strong and thick blade with a much stronger locking mechanism. It's missing some features such as the cork screw, but the amazing thing is how cheap you can get it. It's issued to every soldier in the swiss army, the second hand market is full of more or less new ones. Got mine for 30 bucks. Obviously only an option for people in / around switzerland. One interesting thing to note is that the flathead screwdriver is also locking and can take a lot of force, useful for breaking open stuff or loosening very tight screws.
