New Contender for Best Budget Bushcraft Knife???

My initial impression, and first use, of the Beavercraft BSH2 Bushcraft Knife

[@geoffwatson8007]

Good review my friend. I’ve just bought two of these. Looking forward to using it!😎

[@lheastridge]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy them. I'm loving mine! Thanks for watching!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Thank you, I was looking at BPS and beavercraft so nice to see a comparison.

[@lheastridge]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

Got to love budget blades!!!! Good demo!

[@lheastridge]

Thank you. Thanks for watching

[@BCJerbs]

What's good Mr.Gruggs!?

[@Guardian4080]

You talked me into it. lol New subscriber. Love budget blade reviews and I like the looks of that knife. The handle is shaped like my little wooden handle folding saw I pack with me.

[@lheastridge]

Thank you! It's a really sweet blade

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

I want this knife now, after hearing the handle is that comfortable.

[@lheastridge]

I HIGHLY recommend it! I have the 1,2 and 3, and recommend them all. Thanks for watching!

[@daveburklund2295]

I just recently purchased this knife. The price to quality ratio is excellent. Been using it A LOT since I got it.

[@lheastridge]

I'm loving it! If you like it, you should try BPS Knives. I'm convinced they're made in the same factory. Thanks for watching!

[@PepperGeorge]

I have Beavercraft BSH5, love that thing

[@lheastridge]

I have 1, 2 and 3, but want the 4 and 5. Eventually I'll pull the trigger. Thanks for watching!

[@danieltporter959]

Keep em coming!

[@lheastridge]

I have several more videos coming soon! I've been down, first with a cold, then a sprained ankle, but I'm back on my feet, with four new knives tested. The first video will be posted on Monday, at the latest. Thanks for watching!

[@BCJerbs]

I have some Beavercraft carving stuff and there isn't much bad I can say about their products! Thanks for sharing your knife with us! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Jerbs #22ADAY 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼

[@lheastridge]

Thanks for watching!

[@PMK7734]

I'm looking at buying some of their carving equipment too. I'm at that age where I really want to create something that will be here after I leave. I've heard a lot of good and some bad about their products but I'm willing to take a chance on it.

[@lheastridge]

@@PMK7734 I'm also wanting to try them. I've heard mixed reviews as well but, if they're half as good as this knife, then I'll be pleased

[@sammartinez8084]

Nice looking 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lheastridge]

It's a great budget option! Thanks for watching!

[@tom_olofsson]

Very nice.

[@lheastridge]

They're great knives. Thanks for watching!

[@SimplySignage]

Great review. However i am not a huge fan of forcing my knife to split wood all the way through. LOL, Much rather use wedges for that sort of thing. I do own the BPS bushcrafter and the BeaverCraft BSH2. Love them both.

[@lheastridge]

I normally just split until I can pull it apart, and much smaller pieces, but I try to work the knife as much as possible for the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@PMK7734]

I have one too. That 90° spine really throws some sparks off a ferro rod.

[@lheastridge]

Yes it does! Very impressive! How do you like it? Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@PMK7734]

I got this week and haven't really had a chance to put it through too many places but I like the fit and finish very much. The sheath is well made but the leather is a bit thin. I hope to get to it on the weekend.

[@lheastridge]

I agree about the leather. I ended up wetting mine down, then put it in front of a heater to tighten it up a little

[@capinkyky]

hey man, how is the edge holding up? Beavercraft doesn't really tell you what kind of steel it is, they only say "high carbon" haha. Thanks for the input

[@lheastridge]

It holds up quite well, especially considering it's 1066. On par with BPS knives, and Condor's 1075. Thanks for watching!

[@BakerBaker1-9]

Nice review 👍 - I have the BPS adventure and I love it .... Sub left and 👍 thumbs up....GOD bless

[@lheastridge]

Thank you! I've had my eye on the adventurer for some time now, just haven't pulled the trigger. Thanks for subscribing!

[@danbolton3180]

I bought a beginner woodcarving set from Beavercraft and I love carving with most of the tools especially the scorp. I can't get the smallest carving knife sharp, but the others really cut different woods well and sharpen easily. Then I bought a 3 piece set of UJRamelson scorps that I just cannot stand to use. The handles are too fat, and the blades cut and sharpen poorly. For the price Beavercraft makes descent tools.

[@lheastridge]

I'm planning to try some of their tools, and the other two knives, if I can find them

[@leemichel8199]

If you ever get your knife stuck like that turn everything upside dor put the blade on the stump and baton the wood makes like easier

[@famoffive831]

Are you sure that is the full tang in the handle and not an additional piece of metal that a smaller tank is inletted/inset too?

[@lheastridge]

Absolutely. I've removed the scales and it's completely solid except for the lanyard and screw holes. Thanks for watching!

[@famoffive831]

@@lheastridge Good to know, the video, it looks suspect the way its ground there, and there is not a lot of info on the website as far as specs. Not a lot of videos on this knofe as well. Thank you for the follow up!

[@lheastridge]

My pleasure! I've been using it since the video, for the last 10 days. It's held up great so far. I've used it for wood processing, fatwood processing, daily farm tasks and the only negative I can see is the sheath. Once it's broken in( I wet it and sanded it to advance the process), it gets loose. I was able to tighten back up by wet forming it. The edge strength, and retention have been great. I'll do a follow up video in a couple months

[@jeffgoodin3278]

Looking at an ottaza knife. Theyre made in Turkey though. 1095 steel and ambi scout carry. Amazon has them for under $50. You know of anyone with dealings of these knives?

[@lheastridge]

I've seen them, but have no experience with them. I can tell you that Turkey produces some amazing firearms, so I wouldn't be opposed to trying one. I don't have any experience with middle eastern blades but, their neighbors to the north are known for great knives, so I imagine they have access to good steel. If you try it, let me know

[@sidhendragon]

I use there carving tools. I want to see more on their carving axe

[@lheastridge]

I'll check it out. Thanks for watching!

[@FD_Boss]

Hi. I bailed early. Camera is good, stayed in focus. Sound is fine. If I may offer some constructive criticism, as an instructor in the fire service, your ideas and the things you’re trying to say are a bit all over the place. Try to form a plan of what you want to present in some kind of order. Jot it down in bullet point fashion and work off of that, say a white board or even just a piece of paper off screen. A lesson plan, so to speak. Your presentation will be way more organized as a result. When I started doing presentations, I had a similar issue and I eventually worked thru it that way. Hope this helps. If you feel like telling me to F off, that’s ok too. I like the BPS knives. Gonna get one soon. This looks very similar, probably will get one of these, as well. Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the knife community. And good luck with the channel. I’ll subscribe.

[@lheastridge]

I truly appreciate advice such as this. I've been considering doing exactly what you mentioned. When I first started the channel, my plan was a bullet script, but I strayed. I want my videos to be informative, relaxed and entertaining, like talking to a friend, but I've noticed some things that I forgot to mention in multiple videos. I'm going to do the bullet points for my next video, along with actually writing down the specs and creating a set order for presentation. I know this will help me speed up the process of producing my videos, which will allow me to produce more content. Thank you for your criticism, and thank you for watching. I hope you subscribe so you can watch my videos improve in production value as well as, quality of content, while my experience grows with the channel

[@stevenburns1855]

@@lheastridge My exact thought. I baled for the same reason.

[@jgz6989]

This demo was a trainwreck.....these knives are not meant for batoning huge stock. But thanks for presenting this brand.

[@lheastridge]

It absolutely was! I changed things after this one, and tried to organize my presentation. Thanks for watching!

[@wbsims2996]

Good video, good knife. Next time getva smaller stick of wood.

[@lheastridge]

Lol, thanks! I've learned that scandi grinds are terrible at batoning. Great for carving, but only decent at most other tasks. Thanks for watching!

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsPals]

Just click that shit... 😂 😂

[@lheastridge]

Thanks for watching! Hope you clicked that shit!

[@thaddiusbickerton7377]

Roach belly handle and a mora blade love child result

[@lheastridge]

Love that! Thanks for watching!

[@nickcasolino8903]

Next time try inserting a wooden wedge to free your knife. Thanks

[@lheastridge]

Normally I use a wedge, or just a random stick, but I only use the knife for videos. Thanks for watching!

[@CountryBoysurvival]

They are decent looking knives and look like very good quality for 35 or 40 bucks I like there stuff

[@lheastridge]

They're excellent! I tweaked the handle, and it's in my top 5 favorites now. I'll be doing an update review in a couple months. I'd love to try out the "3", but haven't been able to find it. I suggest grabbing this one while it's available

[@HarrisJames85]

30 minute video nah, 29:14 yes I would watch.

[@lheastridge]

That cracked me up! Thanks for watching!

[@tonyadams6375]

Good video. The rough language doesn’t make you sound professional though. Just an observation.

[@lheastridge]

Thanks for watching!

[@boog3690]

Why the cussing?

[@lheastridge]

I've tried to get away from that, and make my videos more professional. This video was terrible, and I changed things soon after. Thanks for watching!

[@davidglazener7921]

This MUST be your FIRST VIDEO!!! You need some practice!

[@lheastridge]

I wish. I was having one of those days. My brain didn't want to cooperate. Thanks for watching

[@BCJerbs]

I see you have many videos to speak of Mr.David....

[@CountryBoysurvival]

I looked at there knives and almost bought that one it looks good

[@lheastridge]

It's been an awesome knife so far. Basically identical to BPS Knives. Same steel, similar sheath, same walnut scales and both are an amazing value. You really can't go wrong with this one. Thanks for watching

[@CountryBoysurvival]

I have alot of knives but I don't have a Tops or Condor which make I believe the best knives but Holtzman actually makes some very good affordable knives check them out you'll be very impressed

[@lheastridge]

I do a lot of stuff for holtzman's! Nate is a great guy. The Bloodline is one of my favorite knives. I'm actually doing an unboxing of the peasant folder later today
