BPS HK5 Update Review

2 month review update along with modifications

[@CarlosandKandisVids]

I bought 5 of their knives, great knives! I wanted to sand and linseed the handles, blue the blades dress them up a little, but DUUUUDE your mods are freaking awesome! Much respect! You really seem to know what you're doing, great video, thanks for sharing!

[@lheastridge]

Great mods man! You have more courage then I do when it comes to modifying!!!

[@lheastridge]

Lol thanks. I've screwed up a few over the years but I'm getting better

[@ericdpeerik3928]

You'll like the BPS Raven. I have one trying to clear customs at the moment. Although it doesnt seem you would be happy with anything until you changed it.

[@DimitrosSJ]

Plane and honest review, Thanks man! BPS Knives are for sure got the best value and came sharper than many 500$ knives.

[@lheastridge]

Thank you. I'm definitely a fan of BPS. Beavercraft is doing great things as well. Very similar quality. Thanks for watching!

[@sunglint]

good review, I like the mods, and you're right, you don't NEED to spend more

[@lheastridge]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Is that the same as their Raven knife? Looks the same.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Ah no, you showed the original. The Raven does have a Kydex type sheath. Only one KZbin review on it, they have sold it for years.

[@lheastridge]

Correct! I did the sheath, taken from a larger knife, then cut and reformed. The Raven also has plastic handle scales, rather than walnut. Thanks for watching!

@@lheastridge thanks for the reply. 🇬🇧👍🇺🇲

[@samsquanch762]

What brand of bluing did you use? Thanks.

[@lheastridge]

I use Birchwood Casey super blue or apple cider vinegar, depending on how dark I want to go. I buff them with #0000 steel wool, clean them, alcohol rub, soap and water, then rinse and dry, before applying anything. Birchwood is more about rubbing it in, rather than soaking; vinegar works better if heated, and slightly diluted with water. Thanks for watching!

[@samsquanch762]

@@lheastridge was this one done with the Birchwood Casey super blue?

[@lheastridge]

Yes it was

[@samsquanch762]

@@lheastridge thanks. I like how dark yours came out vs some of the other methods I've seen . Hk5 just arrived today.

[@lheastridge]

I hope you enjoy it!
