Lovin the joker flats. Cut strait!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol...yes

[@GavinJackson-q5b]

Excellent video. Well done from the UK. I have subscribed. No nonsense videos like yours are the best

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou. I appreciate your support. Great knives for the price. You be safe out there.

[@lorenray9479]

Flat grind seems to slice straighter than a hollow. Hollow seems to wander more like a drift in a strong cross wind!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol..nice description. True story. Thanks again for watching 👀 😊

Looking Nice - Just bought in their site the Varan Limited version of savage knife from BPS - so beautiful, practise and the price is very good for its products

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep, they do a great job for the money. Be safe out there

[@BCJerbs]

I was gifted one of these and tell ya it's the sharpest knives I've received to date out the box! Thanks for sharing your blade with us! Cheers, Jerbs

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep they come sharp. Well worth every penny. Cannot beat thier value. Stay safe. And appriciate the support

[@1joshjosh1]

Ohhhhhhhhhh..... I like sharp and shiny. But I like slightly dull shean also.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. Very nice knife. Not surprised. Bps do a good job. Be safe

[@longrider42]

P.S. I have since picked up the Savage, and I am very happy with the knife. It will be my go to knife for camping. And yes, I took the handle scales off and found rust. I also had to do some finish sanding to the wooden handle scales, and then putting on another coat of boiled Linseed oil. Stay safe and keep em sharp.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou appriciate the support

[@bushcraftoz2]

Glad to see they folks at BPS are back up and running after the interuption from Vlad. I agree it looks like a good knife for processing game and around camp kitchen.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep glad they back and safe.

[@terrell48]

I picked up one of those love them, I sanded the handles to make more comfortable

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. They are designed so you can mod the handles. Great knives. Be safe

[@rigohook1160]

Definitley will check this one out. For that price, it's a rob. Can't beat that. And a full flat is my favourite grind, most versatile of all grinds.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. You wont be dissapointed. Thanks for watching appriciate the support. Be safe

I have the Savage, adventurer, HK5 and the little 15 dollar scandi. I bought them all about 1 year and a few months ago and I believe I paid under 30 bucks each for the 3 and the one was 15 bucks. So like 115 dollars with tax total for 4 VERY good quality knives, absolutely unbelievable deals. Their 1066 is tough as hell, the edge retention is respectable bit keep in mind it's a super tough but relatively soft carbon steel so on abrasive mediums it's going to kill the edge quick but it also takes back an edge almost effortlessly on any abrasive of your choosing and if you have damaged the edge a simple strop and some 9 micron diamond compound and you can pretty much bring it back from completely dull to shaving so long as you haven't rolled the apex. All in all, you really can't beat them and your getting your monies worth and then some, even the sheaths are nice high quality well sewed thick leather. For the quality you get it's hard to believe they can sell them and the sheath for as cheaply as they do. Just in case you can't tell this girl really loves BPS knives and have been praising them to everyone on my knife IG that will listen for over a year.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Wow...you right. The value for money is outstanding. I am with you. BPS give you that. Loving them. Thanks for the info and the support. Be safe

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Nice blade. Grats.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep very nice. They do a good job. Appreciate the support and be safe out there

[@longrider42]

Just a heads up, I own a BPS knife, the BS1FTS. I took the handle scales off and found rust. Not to much to worry about, I took a sanding sponge and cleaned it up. So not to much of an issue. Just thought you should know. FYI, Bog Oak, is wood of the Oak, found in a Bog, where it has more or less been preserved. Could be hundreds of years old wood. My mother has a spinning wheel made of Bog Oak, from a bog in Ireland. Just thought you should know.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Aha. Ok makes sense. 👌 I'll have to check all my bps knives now...lol. thanks for heads up and the support

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

Great review, sir. This is currently my favorite fixed blade.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou for the support. It's a great knife

[@danieltporter959]

Love the my Savage, my fav so far. Those bog Oak cover feel like no other Wood.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep liking it. Thanks for watching

[@longrider42]

Bog Oak is interesting stuff. It refers to an Oak tree that has fallen over and sunk into a bog, which is not a swamp. There the wood is "Preserved" and darkened. Furniture builders and musical instrument makes love Bog Oak, because it usually has a tighter grain. I love my Savage.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

U and me both. Thanks for watching and commenting

Hello! Greetings from Germany. Very nice video about the knife and its handling. New subscriber.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Welcome and thankyou for the support. Always appreciated. Be safe

[@RippSnortin]

I just got one of these to use a a camp chef knife. It's worth the money, but needs refinement. I had to redo the spine because it was far from square. Also sanded the scales because they were pretty rough. It came sharp, but nothing to write home about.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Hope it works for you. Thanks for watching

[@Countryboy071]

Im getting one, great review!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@coatpocketsurvivalist]

Thanks for another enjoyable video George. While I wasn’t not on the market for another camping knife I’ll be getting one to support those guys. Having a quality flat grind at that price point is well worth it. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos. May all of your journeys be adventures and your havens safe

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou. You won't be disspointed my friend. Stay safe

[@James-ke5sx]

Really nice knife good price I just ordered my first one.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

You wont be dissapointed. For the price the value is exceptional. Stay safe

[@OwlskiTV]

Thanks for showcasing all these BPS knives (watched them all xD). I wanted to support a local Ukraine company during these times, so got myself a Savage, though the scandi options were quite tempting too. Here's a question for you though; If you had to choose one BPS knife from your collection to bring on your outdoors adventures, which one would you choose, and why? Cheers from Canada! Stay safe out there~

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Good reason buy one. To be honest I would take the B1 bushcraft. I really like the size and blade. It's as good as my bushlore which it's based on and 1/2 the price. I know the adventurer is very popular. Thanks for watching and the support. I really appriciate it.

[@canadafree2087]

I ordered 3 for the same reason. The Adventure, the HK4 camp knife, and the Raven.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

@@canadafree2087 nice. You won't be dissapointed. The sheaths alone are wrth the money

Can you do a Hultafors review? OK4?

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Great video & channel. Subscribed. I could not hear you very well with the music playing. Just a helpful suggestion. I like the BPS line. I'm wondering if I can force a patina on the steel with gun blue or vinegar. I live off grid on Lake Champlain and the humidity is quite brutal on most if my knives. Especially my high carbon steels. Even with regular mineral oil.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Probably a good idea with the patina. As you anything Hugh carbon will struggle in humidity. The best way I am not sure. But I have noticed that these are very susceptible to humidity. But still a great knife. Working on the music thing thanks for the heads up. And support.

[@longrider42]

Bichwood Casey Super Blue, its what I've used to refinish guns, and I've used it on a few knives. The more coats you apply the darker the finish. Should work for you nicely. Oh, and take the handle scales off so you can blue the tang. Good Luck.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou

[@tomnickell1276]

Of the 13 BPS knives I own, this one is my least favorite. The handle is a little small for my hand and I am not a fan of the flat grind. But it does possess the regular outstanding quality you expect from BPS.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. Overall thiers knives are worth the cost for sure. Thanks for watching. Appriciate it

[@Grunt-pr7od]

I've owned many carbon steel knives and never had one rust just by looking at it as these bps do I don't know other than they claim 1066 but it rust way to easy...

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep got to agree. I keep mine well oiled, but still get some. But my Kan cave is a damp place which does not help. Thanks for watching. Appriciate the support

BPS Knives are a low carbon steel 1050, better knives cost more but have 1095 High Carbon steel.. Condor, Bisonte Knife is $60 w/ 1095 High Carbon steel.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

I agree they could di better steel. But fir the price it meets my budget and truth be told dies the job I need them to do. Don't get ne wrong here better steel uis just better. But for my needs these guys do the job. Appriciate the support many thanks for watching 👍

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

1060 steal and their craftsmanship is far superior to condor, and their leather quality is much better.

I havevthe bushlore which I really like. But you are right. The leather sheaths are awesome, and they are solid knives

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

I got one i like the design a lot but it needs to have its secondary bevel lowered considerably to bring out its potential. That's pretty typical though. I only find Spyderco to be the only company with secondary edges I don't need to thin down. Curious that your handle is so brown, mine is as black as midnight

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol...unfortunately don't know enough about grinds to know. I can bearly sharpen a full flat grind. 😋. I didn't know that thier handles come in a darker wood. Interesting. Thanks for watching 👍. Always appriciated.
