BPS Knives of Ukraine

The Citizen

That is a good looking sticker!

I haven't had a boot knife in years but the last one was a KABAR 2752, all black and a leather sheath. It was actually kind of useless for a boot. Flopped around a lot because the metal handle was heavy. This citizen looks like it's a much better size and weight.

How long did it take to get it from Ukraine directly?

It's usually about 3 weeks to the UK. I've had about 8 consignments from them, and never any trouble

 

[Jack Black]

I wonder if they make that knife for people who aren't allowed to buy a double-edge, or if they aren't allowed to make a double edge. Or neither of the above is possible, of course.

Possibly Jer

Are they not making them anymore? I've noticed a lot of new models on this thread, but I haven't heard of any models being discontinued.

I think it's just out of stock at the moment

Thanks Rick I have a Sting somewhere, but it's the CRKT version, with the dubious sheath. It's about 40 years since I last carried a boot knife, and I'm not sure I still have the agility for one, but this Citizen seems pretty good!

boot knife, and I'm not sure I still have the agility for one

I think I've never carried a knife in a boot, but now you mention it, these days I might have to sit down before springing into action with one.

Yeah, I don't do much springing these days!

I ordered an bush axe from BPS, it will arrive soon and I’ll be sure to post a photo. Have you seen the new product?

 

[Dasha Buyanova]

Urgently!!!
BPS is going to raise prices soon, I ordered a mushroom knife for the fall. Saw the news on their instagram...

I still have hopes of a Hephaestus, but suspect I'll be paying a lot more for one than they were a couple of years ago

The trail cheff [sic] looks interesting, but is out of stock. Otherwise I've got what i need from them.

 

[bort2.0]

Did they say how much the price will increase?

 

[Jack Black]

Please don't discuss pricing here. It risks having the thread locked for breaching the forum rules

Ok, but it's really just a yes/no question.

Been watching a lot of videos of the Adventurer, looks like a good basic knife for the outdoors. Maybe it is me, maybe finally waking up to the BPS value, got a feeling of a good value these knives are, sort of like I had with Condor knivesbut better quality control.

How are the stainless ones? 5crv something? I have to check to see if they have other stainless steels.

In general, it’s not a bad steel, many people don’t like it because it’s cheap. Of course, carbon 1066 will be stronger, but stainless steel is absolutely super

[Jack Black]

Yay!

Well, I've done that twice now. It won't go full size. A southern e-tailer calls this a camper also. They also call it a drop-point. A little over 4", 1066 carbon. Looks nice.
Maybe except for the spiky incurved handle.

We'll see about the spiky incurved handle. I just ordered one.
