Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Damn GSP! That's an outstanding line up!!!!
I picked this one up recently. Not sure who made it, Moore Maker uses several different cutlers.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Since Moore Maker uses other cutlers to manufacture their knives it is very likely that Bear MGC/Bear & Son made it for them. The last I checked Moore Maker has used Utica, Queen (USA), Camillus (USA), and Bear MGC/Bear & Son among others. The common thread is all are made in the USA. You saved me some searching, I was looking at those makers I know are associated with Moore Maker searching for a similar pattern....you just posted it. Thanks.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks GSP. Since my last post I have been able to confirm through Moore Maker that the knife was indeed made by Bear & Son.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I bought the BPS Bushcraft Adventurer and found it to be a very well made knife. It's solid and strong, made with good quality materials, but I don't think I'll be standing on it any time soon.Mason Gallagher wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 12:07 pmI bought a knife be together with Ukraine.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Yes I believe so. I don't know what BPS calls it (they don't say) but it is what I have always called a scandi grind which makes for a good strong edge.ken98k wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 2:13 pmLooks to be a scandi grind, is that correct?Sasquach wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 1:34 pmI'm not sure which model Mason is standing on (this might be it https://bpsknives.com/product/charity-l ... ollection/) but here is a pic of the BPS Bushcraft Adventurer:

Sas, I bought a Finish Kepard about the same time I saw these Ukrainian knives, so I did not pick one up having just bought the Finish knife ...Sasquach wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 1:34 pmI'm not sure which model Mason is standing on (this might be it https://bpsknives.com/product/charity-l ... ollection/) but here is a pic of the BPS Bushcraft Adventurer:doglegg wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 1:05 pmMason Gallagher wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 12:07 pm I bought a knife be together with Ukraine.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Good lookin' knife GSP.
I don't have any experience with Battle Horse Knives but they look to be well made. The "everything outdoors use" category can cover quite a few knives. I have so many examples of knives that fit the category I have a hard time deciding with one to to take to camp.
Of course I have my favorites but there's always a new one begging to be tested. Then, as a collector, I have that debate with myself about whether I should keep the newbie in mint condition or put it to the test. I've pretty much decided to take the BPS on my next outing which will most likely be hunting camp.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I drive 4X4 vehicles, mostly Jeep, with a Dodge Ram pick up now and then, and I stress about scratches for about the first two days at which point I can't take it anymore and take off down the muddy trail through the woods.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 2:48 amSas, ...Sasquach wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 1:01 pm I have my favorites but there's always a new one begging to be tested.

I hesitate to take that brand new $250 "camp" knife out and start batoning wood with it ....
... but around $100 or less ...
I don't mind so much beating it up... I know knives are made to be used ... but ...
it's like driving that new car off the lot ...
No scratches!!!
that 1st year at least....
