Savage Bushcraft Knife Full Tang Camping Knife with Leather Sheath Carbon Steel Knives, Outdoor Fixed Blade Bush Survival Knives Gift for Men, Camp Gear

If you like a relatively thin, slicey flat-grind blade in a camping knife, read on. That's what you've got here, a big, broad blade with a distinctive bog-oak handle. As many have noticed, it should excel for food prep, but do fine with other tasks including bushcrafting things. I probably won't carve many spoons in my life but I sure do like to cook and eat. I knew this was a line of pretty good budget knives, but once I learned they were made in Ukraine I had to pick one out and buy it, and luckily this guy is perfect for me. The sheath is really nice, thick leather, well made, and very tight. I doubt it will ever loosen up to the point it's a problem. And yes, it's very, very sharp out of the box. All knives dull with use, so that's not a long-term plus, you have to be able to resharpen that knife, but it tells you the makers are meticulous and too proud to let a just-OK edge go out the door. Also it's made of a solid carbon steel, and and you know it'll resharpen up beautifully because of that excellent factory edge. If this knife doesn't meet your needs they have others, but if it does don't hesitate. Yes, it's high value, but more than that I think this guy will prove its worth in any campsite task you put it to. I'm just glad I got in on, if not the ground floor, early enough to benefit.

This is my second bps knife. The first was the Camp knife with the Ferro rod and Scandi grind. An excellent bushcraft knife. But the Scandi grind is not ideal for food prep. This is one reason I got the Savage. The full flat grind is similar to that of a heavy French chef's knife. Also, I fell in love with the look of it! It's a very fine, workmanlike knife-- fits the hand perfectly, arrived razor sharp and holds an edge well and sharpens easily. The fit and finish is imperfect. Bog oak (very nice handle) needs a little sanding and another coat of Danish oil. The full tang needs a look over and any overy crisp edges softened. Others have criticized the sheath, saying it did not fit. That was my first impression but I smeared a lot of beeswax leather conditioner on it and heated it over the stove to melt it into the leather. I inserted the knife (tight fit), added more conditioner and heat--and now the knife is a near perfect fit, and with use, it will become perfect. For the price--this is a stupendous knife!

Made in Ukraine (Slava Ukraini!). Medium carbon steel so easy to put an edge on and maintain it. The diameter of the handle is a bit on the smaller side, so it would be ideal for the lady campers and those with smaller hands. If you've got great huge mitts, it might take some getting used to. The blade is thick enough to be stiff and sturdy, but not so thick that it makes the blade overly heavy. To me, this and the flat grind leans it to a slicer role rather than a chopper. Great camp chef knife.

Very well-made, knife, the thickness and taper grind give it a very smooth cut. Has spent the last several months in my kitchen and has maintained a good edge At first, I thought the grip maybe a little thin for my large hands, but it’s quite comfortable

**Company reached out to me to try and resolve the issues but as i said they were small and easily fixed great customer service is rare theses days so they have earned a life long customer. Will be ordering more knives in a few weeks.** I love the knife but a few small issues. First it was not sharp at all but was easily fixed. Second the knife was very rough out of the box. The edges of the spine were sharp enough to cut me and there are tool marks all over the knife. Third the sheath is a terrible fit for the knife as it cuts into the sheath every i take in or out of the sheath. I have fixed all these issues easily but seems like more quality control is needed. That being said after some work it is a great blade.

You can get a negative from 2 positives. The knife is great, lite, thin, sharp, even grind. The sheath is good quality thick leather with a nice dangler and belt loop combo… Unfortunately the sheath is not designed for this blade and the blade will cut the inside while being sheathed. Very hard to push in… Sheath is for the BPS HK5 blade. I have the hk5 as well and it’s the same sheath. The HK5 fits the Savage’s sheath perfectly. If the sheath fit this knife it would be a complete value. It is a big issue for me to have a knife that cuts the sheath. HK5 is a better buy and a little thicker than this blade. The savage is a little thicker than a kitchen knife (you bush guys will love the thin profile and 90 degree spine). That 90 degree spine runs through the entire handle, but you do not feel any discomfort while using the knife (none at all). Fit and finish is safe to say rough around the edges but acceptable for the price. The knife itself exceeded my expectations, the sheath (fit only, materials are good) is a disappointment. Hk5 was great knife, I wish the hk6 was available on Amazon. This will not retire me from these knives but if you plan on only buying 1 BPS go for a model that has an appropriate sheath supplied. Everything else is great with the price in mind.

Same sheath as is offered with most of their knives. Maybe an 8 -or- 10oz leather -- I oiled the dickens out of it and it clings nicely to the knife yet does not fight me when withdrawing it from the sheath. Made by, it seems, a family operation. Might be 55 hrc. I reworked the profile with little trouble. My intent ( in the future ) is to work-harden the cutting edge by aggressively rolling the bevel on both sides across a carbide 1/4" pin hard enough to 'plasticly deform it'. Then I will hone and strop... I found out years ago when I was active as a line cook that stainless meat knives seemed to get harder over the years. The thing about these knives was that once you achieved the kind of working edge geometry you wanted ( different for each use -- everyone had a set of 3 to 15 knives ) -- some time had been put on the knife, both steeling and flexing. This did not happen with knives used to beat-up vegetables or break-up chickens -- regular sharpening removed any hard-worked metal. My meat-slicer, a dedicated tomato-knife, and the flensing-knife I describe next just seemed to get hard and last forever. I had once thought that I was merely straightening the micro-bevel on my "sharp whisker", the flensing knife I removed silverskin with. A cheap Case XX about 7" long in the blade with a rounded tip 1/3" wideon the face and slowly widening to just over 1/2" at the handle. It was used only to part out meats. It was( is ) shaving sharp and maybe twice as thick as the hollow-radiused part of a straight razor. A great knife and cheap that I used for almost 20 years. I realized much later that my steeling technique, which was a straight pull 90º over the steel, had been flexing the metal and making it harder while polishing(?) the faces. I expect the same thing to happen with this 1060 Full flat Grind -- yes I took out the micro-bevel from the maker's work. The only radius on it now is from rouge dressed leather on a long wood block of mahogany.

Sure, there's places for improvement like the handle, but this is exactly what I've been looking for. A simple, no nonsense knife that's extremely customizable. Because the scales are bolted and not riveted it's extremely easy to remove for carving shaping and doing a full blade forced patina. Even if you don't customize any of it, just practice basic carbon steel wood handled knife maintenance (patina the blade, keep it wiped with oil, oiling the wood scales) and you still have a fantastic knife. The blade size is basically between a pairing knife and a full size kitchen knife. Making it ideal for the bulk of my needs: fish preparation, outdoor cooking prep and general outdoor tasks. The sheath leather isn't surface coated, it's dyed through the entire leather - so when I cut it down and restitched it for a smaller profile, I didn't need to re-dye the edges. Speaking of the sheath, the stitching side is wide enough to be used as an effective strop for the blade! Thoroughly impressed.

Stimme den anderen Kommentaren hier völlig zu: das ist ein solides Messer, das wirklich super für die Küche / Outdoorküche (und nicht zuletzt auch fürs Grillen) sehr geeignet ist. Schneidet wie nix durch Kohl und Steaks, Zwiebeln und Tomaten, und für feinere Arbeiten und Gemüseputzen hat man ja eh immer ein 8er oder 9er Opinel griffbereit. Der Kohlenstoffstahl verhält sich wie der von Opinels, heißt er hält die Schärfe, wenn man regelmäßig einen Wetzstahl benützt, ausreichend lange und lässt sich leicht nachschärfen, und bekommt halt eine ordentliche Patina bei regelmäßiger Benutzung (bzw. rostet an der einen oder anderen Stelle, wenn man das Ding lange feucht rumliegen lässt). Aber der Pflegeaufwand hält sich in Grenzen, vor allem bei regelmäßiger Benutzung gibt es nix zu meckern. Außerhalb von Kochumgebungen, nun ja, in der Not ist ja jedes Messer für fast alles ein Bringer, aber im normalen Einsatz gibt es für Tasks wie Holzarbeiten im Wald oder für die Bearbeitung von Gummischläuchen, Elektrokabeln oder großen Kartonverpackungen sicher Messer, die besser geeignet sind. Auch was die Scheide angeht, stimme ich mit meinen Vorkommentatoren überein. Gut verarbeitet und schön schlicht anzusehen ist die Scheide durchaus, und m.E. völlig ausreichend für die Aufbewahrung des Messers im Rucksack, aber am Gürtel auch nach längerer Benutzung einfach Quatsch. Passt einfach nicht richtig und macht sowohl Ziehen als auch Verstauen des Messers stets zur zweihändigen Challenge. Der Dangler hat keinen Druckknopf sondern ist vernietet und lässt sich daher nicht abnehmen, schade. Mir wäre sowieso (schon allein aus Pflegegründen) eine Kydex lieber, aber ok, man kann halt nicht alles haben. Schon gleich gar nicht zu diesem (sehr akzeptablen) Preis.

First of all, not razor sharp out of the box, I’d actually consider this quite dull for a factory edge, not to worry though; that’s easy enough a fix. Blade grind is full flat, a little overly full flat, so much so; that the spine of the knife has thinned all the way from the tip to the “ricasso”, resulting in a thinner spine on an already quite thin bar stock. To make it worse, it’s offset on one side. All of the grizzly aside, it’s probably worth the money, more of a food prep knife than a hardcore bushcrafting deal. The sheath is exceptional quality, very tight fit, so tight it will take some application of dubbin and some working to get it to relax a little for a nice set fit. 110% on the sheath. All in all, it will make a decent addition to a camp kitchen or as a dedicated food prep knife, make sure you take care of the carbon steel and clean/oil after all use!

Coltello affilatissimo, versatile, perfetto per caccia o bushcraft. Forse meno robusto del suo fratello “maggiore” ovvero l’adventurer, che possiedo ed uso con soddisfazione. Il Savage mi sembra indicato per lavori un po’ meno gravosi. Non ci spaccherei la legna, ecco. Comunque mi ha molto soddisfatto

I believe the description says shaving sharp out of the box, this is true. Mine came very sharp, and is holding and edge extremely well. It did a great job of feathering some curls effortlessly. I have not tried batonning for kindling with this knife yet and I'm not sure I will - the blade is just as shown and advertised but I really like a little thicker steel blade and maybe a little longer to do something like batonning with and smashing around. Although I am a hypocrit in saying that because I have abused my Mora Kniv in such a manner and it survives fine. I will likely try it someday. That being said this is a great and light weight knife! The wooden scales may have shrunk a little, the tang was a little abrasive in the handle but after a little light sanding and some oil later the fitment seems to be 100 percent and looks nice. The handle is comfortable and easy to hold in both fore and reverse grips. This knife will absolutely go on my ruck or on my belt next trip out. I could see it being useful in nearly all tasks you would use a knife for (and some you shoudln't lol) also the spine of the blade is very nice for firestick magnesium sparking and un barking limbs or any scraping. The leather sheath included is decent and will do nicely. Being a leather worker I have plans to make something more customized to me and my ensemble but there is nothing wrong with what came with the knife at all and seems to be well oiled and not dried out like rawhide and gross. Overall - very happy with it, and for the price may buy another to keep around for general use around the farm.
