BPS DBK Bushmate 2.0

From BPS:

The Bushmate 2.0 is the reimagined version of the Bushmate, now stronger than ever! This knife is the product of a thrilling partnership between BPS Knives and DBK, renowned for their expertise in evaluating and testing bushcraft knives. Known as “Dutch Bushcraft Knives,” DBK has established itself as a trusted authority within the outdoor and survival communities. By merging our knowledge and passion for bushcraft, we’ve developed an exceptional tool that performs brilliantly in both bushcraft and survival situations!

The blade of the Bushmate 2.0 is crafted from durable carbon steel 1066, renowned for its outstanding edge retention and robustness. Designed with a Scandi grind, this type of sharpening is especially suited for the tasks encountered in bushcraft, providing superior slicing capabilities that allow you to tackle various cutting tasks with ease. With a thickness of 3 mm (0.12 in), the blade strikes the perfect balance between precision and durability, ensuring it can handle tough outdoor challenges while maintaining sharpness throughout its use. Whether you’re carving, whittling, or preparing kindling, the Bushmate 2.0 is designed to perform excellently in any bushcraft scenario.

The handle is crafted from walnut wood, treated with Danish oil to enhance its natural beauty and protect it from the elements. This thoughtful design provides secure grip, allowing for extended use. Whether you’re carving, slicing, or performing detailed tasks, the handle’s design ensures you have full control and comfort during long days in the wild.

The Bushmate 2.0 comes complete with a handmade leather sheath, carefully stitched with strong nylon thread for added durability. This sheath not only protects the blade but also enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal. Two suspension options are available: a dangler and a fixed belt loop, giving you versatility in how you carry your knife on your adventures. Additionally, a ferrocerium rod is included, facilitating easy fire-starting when you need it most.
