BPS Knives Nighthawk Adventurer - Camping Knife - Fixed-Blade Stainless Steel Survival Knife - Black Leather Sheath and Firestarter - Outdoor Full Tang Knives - Bushcraft Knives

This knife is big, high quality with a good edge. It’s lightweight and holds an edge ok.What it lacks in its edge holding it makes up for in its ease of sharpening.Good to use for feathering and bushcraft stuff.I like it for its inexpensive price and its ability to be a beater knife, I won’t cry when it breaks but it doesn’t feel like it will for a few years.

Great knife. Worth the price and high quality. Easy to sharpen. Feathers like a dream and I am not particularly good at feather sticks. Plan to add some mods like a small cavity for bowdrill use like another reviewer did. Had to epoxy the handles since they slipped when batoning but that is an easy mod and went very smoothly. Alternatively they offer the blank so you can customize it further with your own scales and material. The sheath is incredible quality like seriously the best quality sheath I've ever owned. The ferro rod isn't the best it's short and the alloy isn't perfect but it is nice as a quick grab or a backup. I got this knife to shave sharp in 5 mins on arrival. I suspect I could get it to hair whittling sharp with a little more time. The scandi grind is consistent and durable. The alloy of the knife is slightly on the softer side so edge retention isn't perfect but I use my knives to baton wood and carve, something that won't really effect a steel of this caliber. If you're looking for an affordable knife buy this one.

I order a couple of these after reading reviews from others on the sheath quality. They are extremely affordable knives and figured I could use the sheaths with other knives I have that are just not up to snuff. When I received the knife I was amazed of the quality of the sheath hands down just this is worth double their selling price! The knife is basic and very functional very sharp out of the box. Been carrying it and using it for the past week very impressive today the least. Easy to sharpen light weight and cuts like a champ. Edges are a little square along the spine and handle I just sanded them down a tad to my liking. Definitely going to keep these in rotation! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid simple basic light weight functional knife that won’t break the bank. I’ve bought a couple so far and will be looking at other models soon.

BPS knows how to get your attention. Was looking for a leather sheath for my Mora Companion when I stumbled on this and just had to have it. The full package - wood handles, leather sheath, ferro rod - just screams old timey outdoorsy bushcrafty. I, and I’m sure a lot of people who wind up purchasing it, had stars in my eyes just looking at the pictures, so I did some research on YouTube and Blade forums hoping they would give me a reason to punch the Buy Now, and sure enough, BPS is indeed a respected brand and this is their most popular knife, and Ukrainian to boot.The sheath is a beauty, smooth, thick, high quality leather. I see sheaths almost identical to this one going for $60-70 on Etsy, but here it’s thrown in almost like a freebie. The blade itself is impressive as well. Broad and thick with a full tang, scandi grind and sharp 90 degree spine, I see no reason why you wouldn’t choose this over the ever popular Mora if you were going into the woods and wanted to carry just one blade. The Mora Companion or Garberg would probably be better for finer tasks, but the Adventurer seems like it would be a more capable all around blade with a construction that looks like a compromise between a bushcraft knife and a Bowie style that could better handle chopping, batoning, or fending off a Deliverance style attack of hillbillies. I read some reviews that complained of the exposed tang being slightly proud of the wood scales making for an uncomfortable grip, but they seem to have solved that issue. Mine is perfectly flush. My main complaint would be that mine did not come very sharp. It couldn’t pop hair and was even struggling to cut paper, but I had a grand old time sharpening and stropping this thing within an inch of its life, now I could circumcise a flea with it. I put a lazy man’s forced patina on it by soaking it in room temp white vinegar for 5 hours, but it didn’t come out as dark as I would have liked. I then tried a criss cross pattern using yellow mustard. It came alright I think, but because I’m an OCD flip flop artist who’s never satisfied, I decided I didn’t like it and wanted it back in its original condition. I used Mother’s Mag & Aluminum Polish and polished the daylights out of it. If you look at the picture you can still see faint remnants of the cross cross pattern, so it’s not exactly in its original condition, but it is now brilliantly mirror polished. I may try again with boiled vinegar and a different mustard pattern.All things considered, this is one of the highest value purchases I’ve ever made, and by buying it you even get the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping a beleaguered people in some small way. Get the whole collection. They all look great.

The shealth alone with the ferro rod is worth the money you pay. The shealth seems good quality leather.The Knife seems good quality although I have no put it thru the paces. Fit and finish are good for a working knife.The set up is Nordic style and the knife is a scandi grind which is the easiest to field sharpen in my opinion.Get it you will not regret it.
