BeaverCraft Dune and Glacier Bushcraft Knives

[@ericwalker3459]

Thank you. I’ve being buying several bps knives, and now I’m going to order both of these. Love the steel and walnut handles. So easy to maintain. As always,a great review

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting

Beaver Craft make great wood craft tools and hatchets.👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. Thanks for commenting

[@Addy-ft4ps]

Hi Mark, these look like good knives that even someone inexperienced with using knives could easily and safely use.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Absolutely. Plus, they are good knives to learn to sharpen with. Thanks for commenting

[@Woodswalker1965]

Some interesting design elements there Mark👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree, Best part is the price. Thanks for commenting Wade

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Not only a great review but, you are quite the cinematographer. I like the lake and large white pine in the background.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for your kind words

I've had a couple Beavercraft/BPS knives. The sheaths are awesome, but the knives felt cheaply made. I just purchased Beavercraft for my son w/rounded tip. The quality of his $35 knife seemed better and the ergos (like these handles) is great. Now, I'm trying to choose between one of these two. This video is very helpful.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

They are definitely a budget knife but a high-value one. I like that I can modify them without fear or ruining them. Thanks for commenting

[@northwind7409]

Mark, as you may recall, I make my own knives. I just ordered the Dune for a few reasons. Your review covers everything I need to know. The purchase supports Ukraine. And ... those are such good looking knives. I had to start the process to find out what the shipping costs - $4.00! Ended up ordering two by mistake. 😆

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Can always give one away as a gift😉 Thanks for commenting my friend

[@radagast6682]

Good morning. My first set of carving knives were Beavercraft, and they have held up quite well.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, I have a set as well. Great bit of kit for the price. Thanks for commenting

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks Mark for the review. I think I like the lines of the Dune, the larger knife.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

It is a great all round knife for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@Pocket_EDC]

Thanks for the detailed review. I have been, hesitantly, eyeballing the BeacerCraft and BPS knives. This gives me more to go on for a decision. Have a great weekend!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

You won't go wrong with a BPS knife. Send me an email (on my YT page) for a few suggestions. Thanks for commenting

[@kendexter]

i like the handle , would not change it

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for commenting

[@steamboatmodel]

I think that a few minutes reshaping the but of the tang on the dune to make it more like the Glacier knife would improve it if someone wanted a larger blade, but the Glacier looked fine to me. while looking at there site this one caught my eye BSH Kid - Kid-Safe Knife for Outdoor Activities $33.00. also this one C1 Kid - Whittling Knife for Kids and Beginners (38) $16.00

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Interesting little knife. Good move on their part. Thanks for commenting

[@Badger77722]

Nice review, Mark! Always glad to hear your honest assessments! I'd be curious to see some comparisons of these knives to others in your collection (specifically Moras, as I have a couple of those). I saw your earlier video and know you've got a number of knives yet to be fully reviewed, but I'd be interested in seeing some side-by-side comparisons once you've gotten through all of your backlog.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I have a few more budget knives to test and review. Once I have done that I could make video comparing them all. Thanks for commenting

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Mr. Young… how do you think that these knives compare to the BPS Knives manufactured by Serhii and Pavlo Bondarenko in the Ukraine? As an example the BPS ADVENTURER bushcraft knife? The Beaver Craft Knives that you featured here and the BPS Knives seem to be very similar in both design and construction. Could it be that they are made in the same manufacturing facility in Kyiv, Ukraine? Just an observation on my part. I greatly appreciate the effort that you consistently put into providing top content and reviews on your channel.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I now have three knives from BeaverCraft and three from BPS. With the exception of the BSH3 from BeaverCraft, all where the same quality. They are all the same materials with the exception of a couple of the sheaths. Again, the BSH3. They are so similar it would be easy to believe they are made in the same plant. Thanks for commenting

[@ianbruce6515]

That's what I thought too. Their carving knife sets are also pretty identical to the same knife sets made by a Ukrainian company

[@davidglazener7921]

Yes, very similar. I have 2 BPS that are excellent.​@@MarkYoungBushcraft

[@vvogt4252]

Very Nice. I would have a hard time deciding which knife to Purchase. Ok, Both. For the price how can you go wrong. Thanks Brother for this Excellent Video!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. Thanks for commenting

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Mark, I'm usually of the bigger is better crowd, though I'm with ya on this one, the Glacier's handle ergos make more sense. 1066 at a relatively high Rockwell is interesting, I'm curious as to how it will perform longer term. In any event, cant knock what you get for the moolah. Cheers Duke.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hi Duke. The steel appears to have a good HT but it is still budget. The Good news is, it is easy to sharpen. Thanks for commenting

[@jimf1964]

Morning Mark! Not my cup of tea at the moment, but wow, for that price? If I didn’t already have several knives, just starting out for example, I’d buy one.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Could always buy them as gifts😉. Thanks for commenting Jim

[@personal.YouTube.channel]

Not to mention. Some people know this. But I'm going to mention it cuz some people don't. THE TECHNIQUE ! ( Used to make the knife ) Can also affect the steel how it handles. You can have a higher quality carbon steel. (Use certain techniques making it & you'll find that it doesn't perform as well ) Have a lower quality carbon steel. ( Making the same knife with the right techniques ) IT CAN PERFORM EVEN BETTER ! / + They are different qualities of 1066 high carbon steel. As there is in all types of steel. SO ! .... THERE ARE MULTIPLE VARIABLES. In techniques & in quality. That can & will drastically affect The knife capability. AS THE OLD SAYING GOES : You can't always judge a book by its cover. ( MEANING - Just because you think something is one way for whatever reason doesn't mean it is )

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks for sharing

[@thedriftingspore]

First

[@thedriftingspore]

The more #beavercraft products I see the more impressed I am with them. I can't remember if you already reviewed their little hatchet that they make. It also looks pretty neat. Thanks for sharing Mark!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Yes, reviewed the hatchet. I liked it but the handle could have been better. Thanks for commenting Steve
