I bought this knife and did something similar, though I scoured mine with steel wool, washed with soap and water, and warmed it in the oven at 250 before letting mine sit in a shallow container of vinegar for an hour flipping it a few times. Then I did 3% H202 for about 10 minutes each side, then vinegar again for 20 on each side, and washed with soap. Afterwards, I heated it up again, coated it with olive oil and baked it in the oven at 350 like I would a cast iron skillet (though I put it on a broiling rack to protect it from direct radiation from the elements). I also soaked the sheath in olive oil until it was completely impregnated, and let the scales soak in olive oil, too. This gave it a non-stick coating like a skillet. I use it when I'm wading in the river trout fishing and for cleaning fish and it works marvelously without a spot of rust since this treatment. Some have concerns about leaving it in the sheath, but when the sheath is oil soaked, too, there's no moisture in it to be a problem.
Potatoes are great ways to patina a knife and is a great corrosion inhibitor. Just food for thought if you get another. Place it in the potato over night.
Great video. Mostly for the 'sweet spot' philosophy - also informative for people who are trying to figure out a lot of stuff when it comes to purchasing a field knife. I also own this knife - great bang for the buck!
I use mineral oil, its food safe and doesnt have the potential to foul like olive oil etc Can, one of my older blades sheath got really funky from using olive oil. Cheers
Good video - Picked up an Adventurer for $40 and am really impressed. Own several camp/survival knives that are a more expensive but these are a great value. Very competitive with the pricier knives and you can fine tune it to suit your needs.
Never thought about gun oil and field dressing a deer. Been hunting for 65 years. Thanks Son good man will pass this on to my Sons and daughters my grandchildren my great grandchildren. My 4 generations thank you.
Beavercraft is another great knife thats made in ukraine. I actually prefer the ergonomics of the beavercraft. Also comes with a similar leather sheath. The beavercraft comes with a mirror finish and shaving sharp. Ive beat the hell out of my bsh1 for the past month and still havent needed to resharpen the edge. Ive even batoned through dry ash, oak, walnut, and maple and its still scary sharp
I always buy their blanks they make great knives as far as I'm concerned I'm like you why pay more when you don't have to but yeah I buy their blanks and their sheets and then always put my own wood on whatever I have laying out in the yard actually so thanks for the video keep them up
@Outpour Outdoors I ordered one of these, and want to do what did to it. I am wondering if you can still get a tight connection back with the screws that must be very shirt on length. Like how deep do the screws go into the shank?
I have the BPS B1 CS it is amazing especially at the $28.00 price point. The next buy from them for me is the Adventurer and the full flat grind Savage👍.
I bought mine and am wondering if I should just care for it or force patina. Good video. I might use mustard and put swirls in the mustard for design. But I like the stripes on yours too. I bought a mora garberg to have a stainless steel. I wanted the best of both worlds using the rule of diminishing returns. 😂😂😂 The garberg is a great price right now. Side question, 5k for a classical guitar? I read that, that is the sweet spot. I have not even learned to play my seagull guitar yet. But it would be dream to own a good sounding guitar like I hear in the classical guitar competitions on CZcams. It's just a dream 🤣. ✌️🦁
I may have neutralized the acidic activity of the vinegar with baking soda solution, then rinsed and died it before I reassembled it, especially under the handle area. Oil that area also.
Not an “Amazon” knife lol. BPS Ukrainian knives! They are great didn’t even advertise their name brand really until recently. I have one that says BPS knives but not made in Ukraine.
@@OutpourOutdoors haha, I'm actually a woman. No worries though. My husband and our 5 children enjoy outdoor and we're glad we found your channel today. My 9 yr old is actually helping me with my knife.👍 Looking forward to more videos.
I bought a BPS ADVENTURER when my Ka-Bar was stolen yrs ago and it's the only fixed blade I carry now.

Great job. Love the striping effect.

Lol I love it. Great suggestion
I pray that you have trusted in Jesus Christ for your salvation

I have been walking with him for 37 years now. I am 70
Mine is on the way!
P.S. dont hesitate to use Ballistol oil on it, its biodegradable and food-safe :)
Great video 😊

Thank you, that was a good tip with the flower pattern and the olive oil 😅.

just got a BPS hk5 off amazon today, for 40 bucks I'm very impressed with the finish of it and the sheath is great considering the cost.

I recently found your channel. I love your videos. Great job!
40 Dollars really is a bang for the buck! I had to pay 57 Euros to get my hands on one here in Germany...

My adventurer came out a pleasant mid gray after a few hours in vinegar. Looks great.

I love my BPS knife! Great video, I might try this.
Good share - love my BPS - I blued my blade- petina looks 😎 cool
Awesome vid man!!, jjst recieved my adventurer the other day and i love your idea and method of darkening tbe blade like that 👍

Great video i did mine using a different technique but you way is awesome too.
You sound very intelligent and well spoken. Thanks for advice. Do these handles go back on good after you take them off?
Thanks brother! And yes! It’s just a screw and a threaded sleeve super simple! Hope that helped. God bless

I miss bushcraft. I'm not talking about your kind With actual forest

I would wash that off with soap and then blow dry or heat in oven at lowest temperature until it is completely dry.
I may have neutralized the acidic activity of the vinegar with baking soda solution, then rinsed and died it before I reassembled it, especially under the handle area. Oil that area also.
Thanks for stopping by man. And for the input.
For Oil,use Baby Oil,simple as that...
Mount the camera. That will solve two issues, 1, you can use both hands, 2. viewers do not have to watch a bouncy video as in what do we focus on.
After you patina your knife and rinse/dry it…renaissance wax!
If using white vinegar, it works better if you heat the vinegar.
Thought that was/is a BPS knife. I own the Savage. I might blue the blade, or I migh tnot. I live in a pretty dry area of the country.
Schnellbrünierung just cost about 5 Bucks and its much faster and looks better.
Not an “Amazon” knife lol. BPS Ukrainian knives! They are great didn’t even advertise their name brand really until recently. I have one that says BPS knives but not made in Ukraine.
It didn’t even get a patina bro, you gotta let the vinigar dry on it. try spicy mustard and let it completely dry on the blade.
Thanks for your input brother and for stopping by 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video, thinking about getting this knife myself next.
We have the same knives they are great. Do you think apple cider vinegar would do the same as white vinegar? Thank you.
YES!!!!!!! It would work equally as well
@@OutpourOutdoors Great! Trying this right now! Thanks!!
@@naturesketches126 DUDE!!!!! Awesome let me know how it goes man! Feel free to shoot me a photo on instagram too! Hope it goes well!!!!

@@naturesketches126 ohhh awesome! I apologize haha! Thank you so much for the support!
Jesus Christ just used the knife. It will pick up pa-Tina by itself.
It's not just a fidget toy. 😂
