I asked on the bushcraft instance but it’s been one week and I have no answer

Does someone here have bought BPS Knives (more specifically the Finn Lite) and how were they ?

    Not sure what you’re asking for. The dimensions and the steel tell you most of what you need to know.

    I’m not familiar with this in particular as I’m a steel fetishist, but it’s a well priced well made inexpensive knife with 1066 steel. Your expecations can’t be that high at this pricepoint.

    If you asked in bushcraft, I would in turn ask: what do you want to use the knife for?

    The blade shape does not look like a classic bushcraft form (normal straight, drop point) and not very tailored towards e.g. batoning. It looks great for carving though. In regard to steel (carbon steel 1066): this is pure preference, and a good topic to really break a fight off over.

      The blade is imitating the classic Scandinavian puuko knife. Which is supposed to do a little bit of everything (but mostly carving I think)

      As for me, since the blade is 3 inches, I was probably not going to do heavy batonning with it mostly carving.

        I am more into modern interpretations like the PELTONEN M07 Ranger SissiPuukko or the mora garberg.

        But it looks like you know what you are looking for. Also, it doesn’t look too expensive for an EDC.

          I bought the Mora Kansbol as my first knife. I’m looking to try other blade at budget.

          I was looking at Feather Stick 101 by In Forest and Land and he was saying that he like this type of blade for this type of work. Found his knife but I’m not paying 200£ for a blade 😅
