BPS Knives Finn Lite - Puukko Knife - Fixed-Blade Carbon Steel Knife with Leather Sheath - Small Full Tang Camping Knives - Scandinavian Camp Utility Knives

This sweet little fixed blade is a fantastic bargain. Materials are top notch, blade steel is good, handle scales are wonderfully ergonomic and comfortable even after an hour of whittling/carving, and the knife is *very* well made. My only nitpick is - you guessed it - the thin sheath. If the sheath were tougher thicker leather, this'd be my new EDC. As it is, the sheath is fine and perfectly functional, but I am gentle with it and make sure there's no chance of extreme transverse pressure. I LOVE that it is made in Ukraine and is clearly a bushcrafting tool with a backstory.

Fantastic for the price. Nothing fancy, well made, and nicely sized. Sheath is good leather, well stitched and long for this knife so you can really stick it in deeply. All in all I'd recommended this knife to anyone.

Have looked at a lot of the BPS knives, have had a few on my wish list. Was looking for a smaller wood carving knife, and thought for the cost, it would be worth a shot. I was really blown away with this one. It’s a really good size, not too small for what I need. The edge is perfect, grind is even on Both sides, and razor sharp right off the rip. I’m going to sand the handle scales, don’t like the feel of the sealant. That’s my only complaint, and that’s nothing, gives me another project. I can’t think of anything in this price range that is better than this. I own tons of knives from mora, condor, spyderco and everything in between. This is an excellent knife for 25$, I even like the sheath. It’s soft, playable and feels good in the pocket. Not much else to say, should be an excellent carver.

I picked up this one on a whim. I'm glad I did. The knife is quite impressive. Kinda like a Mora #1 with a subtle guard. The blade is thin and well ground. It came with just a little bit of a burr still hanging on the edge. A minute or two of stropping had it singing right along. I'd say it's an excellent camping knife or EDC. Good for cutting cordage, whittling marshmallow sticks, fuzz sticks, opening Mountain House bags, etc. It is clearly an inexpensive knife, but there is truly no deceit in the matter. I'm paying for inexpensive carbon steel, and unfinished wood handles. No problem there. That's stuff I can improve myself, and I'm happy for the project. Fit and finish overall was very good for the price paid. Blade grinds were quite symmetrical and well done. Handle is comfortable for most hands, at least for short to medium usage. extensive usage would likely find a larger handle a bit more comfortable.Now the sheath...I actually like the design. It can be set up with a paracord dangler, an Ulti-clip, a belt loop made, etc. It's actually a very nice design. But the leather is about as thick as construction paper. It's not a matter of if the sheath pokes through, but when. This sheath is hot trash, but the knife is a good enough value that it deserves something better. kydex, some other leather sheath, etc. In my case, I had an old dangler from a long gone Greco knife that molded in and fit like it was custom made to it. The old sheath can get ya' by in the meantime, but just know that it's not gonna last forever, and be prepared to deal with it.

The Finn Lite is about as small as you can go for a fixed blade, but it’s a totally practical length for most backpacking and camping needs. I’ll take mine on my next canoe trip, where it will be my sole cooking and fire building tool. I imagine it would be a good small game knife as well. The grind is excellent, the steel great, the handle nice and easily improved with a little tlc. Great sheath for a necker or pack/pocket carry.If you’re a Mora fan, want a full tang blade, and find the Garburg overkill for your needs, take a look at this or one of the other knives offered by BPS. They make one that looks like a Companion, only full tang with wood handles and a nice leather sheath—for basically the same price as a Companion! That will be my next purchase.Slava Ukraini!!!

Some people feel that the sheath leather is too soft. I do not agree. True, most BPS knives sheaths are thick stiff leather--but this is appropriate for this knife.This is an excellent knife for carving! The short blade and fine tip allow for excellent and precise control. A thumb on the spine of the knife gives full control for intricate detail work.It is almost suitable for an all round Bushcraft knife, but is just a bit small. Together with a small hatchet--you could do it all. I favour small knives for Bushcraft, experience has told me that they are superior.This knife fits nicely into the utility knife leg pocket on work pants.The steel is, of course good, and it arrives very sharp.The eyelets in the sheath allow you to design your own carrying method. A leather bootlace made into a loop and toggle system would allow it to be hung of a belt without even unbuckling.

I bought my first BPS knife (Rosemary chef's knife) because it was made by Ukrainians. I bought this knife because of the excellent quality and pricepoint of their knives...and it was made by Ukrainians. I love the shealth and added a lanyard and a belt clip. Слава Україні!

This little knife is very sharp out of the box, I’ve used it for food prep, box cutting, and it’s been my EDC for about a week and a half. It strikes a ferro rod very well. These BPS knives are pretty awesome! If you are on the fence about getting one, I’d say pull the trigger and buy it. The sheath is pretty thin though, but it’s still a good sheath. I sanded the handle, then put wood stain and lightly torched the scales, I’d say the result turned out nicely.
