BPS HK5 Bushcraft Carbon 18

Less than £40 to your door! carbon steel and walnut handle in a proper leather sheath, superbly made despite the pressure their currently under. I cannot see how they make it ship it and heinnies sell for this price. It really is a great all rounder and did I mention its a steel at that price.

The bolts used for the handle are rough not sure what I will do about them. Cheap knife made cheaply.

very good knife at this price point.

A good value knife especially for anyone who likes to improve things. The handle is not fully finished so needs a rub down with glass paper plus a coat of Tung Oil. The sheath is 3mm leather which benefits from a coat of Paul Dore beeswax finish or similar. Overall a fabulous low cost tool. I must buy another from BPS

Straight out of the box it’s a nice blade with a good edge. The handle needed a little work. The scales were a little rough in some areas, mostly around the finger grooves. Soon sorted with some fine sand paper. The knife sheath is separate in the box. Well made with a decent thickness of leather. However, it has not been fitted to the knife. This means it is an extremely tight fit. Therefore, difficult to extract when the sheath is on your belt. You will need to cover the knife with clingfilm, soak the sheath, and mould the sheath around the knife yourself. Other than that. I really can’t see how the knife and leather sheath can be sold for under £40. I would expect to pay that for the sheath alone. A really good knife at a give away price.

An excellent knife for the money. With a full tang and made from good quality carbon steel; razor sharp straight out of the box! Obviously the finish is not quite as good as that found on knives costing £100+ but a good finish can be achieved with very little work. The quality of the sheath alone is very impressive - very well made and using good quality thick leather - one could easily pay £35+ for a sheath of this quality! In my opinion every bushcraft enthusiast should have one of these knives but maybe I'm being a little biased since my father was Ukrainian! ???:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*

2 Months update, used for all out door tasks from the dreading battioning to a little meat prep and the edge when touched up (I always use ceramic) comes back to razor. Previous reviewer sounds like used a carbide pull though- STAY away they remove so much material and damage the edge, great for emergency of getting rid of chips but for sharpening -NO You get a hek of the lot for your money

Another BPS to my collection, Same style sheath but black.Some unfinished raw edges on the blade but these can be addressed. The handle is very narrow, I have a bigger hand than most so perhaps I'm being picky. overall an unbeatable knife for the money.
