The BPS Knives Kharakternyk Fixed Blade Knife is a robust, full-tang hard-use fixed blade from Ukrainian maker BPS Knives, designed for demanding outdoor, tactical, and survival tasks. The Kharakternyk (meaning “characteristic” or “distinctive” in Ukrainian, often associated with Cossack warriors) combines a strong, versatile blade profile with premium D2 tool steel and textured OD green micarta scales delivering excellent edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and a secure, comfortable grip in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. This model excels as a go-to bushcraft, camping, hunting, or field knife, offering a balance of slicing capability, piercing strength, and durability in a practical midsize package.

Specifications:

Blade Length: 5.71 inches (145 mm)

Blade Thickness: 0.16 inches (4 mm)

Blade Material: D2 tool steel (high-carbon, high-chromium semi-stainless; renowned for outstanding wear resistance, edge holding, toughness, and good corrosion resistance—ideal for hard-use fixed blades)

Blade Style: Drop point with a strong, slightly upswept tip (broad belly for efficient slicing and skinning, reinforced point for piercing and prying, flat or convex grind optimized for bushcraft, field dressing, and general utility)

Blade Finish: Stonewashed (clean, low-glare matte appearance that highlights the steel quality and reduces maintenance visibility)

Blade Hardness: 60–61 HRC (balanced for excellent durability, edge retention, and field sharpenability in D2)

Overall Length: 10.63 inches (270 mm)

Handle Material: OD Green micarta (high-pressure layered phenolic composite; lightweight, extremely strong, impact-resistant, and textured for superior grip in all conditions—wet, dry, bloody, or gloved)

Handle Features: Full tang construction (exposed tang edges for maximum strength and balance), ergonomic contours with finger choil and thumb ramp for secure control, lanyard hole at pommel, polished stainless steel pins

Weight: Approximately 7.4–8.1 oz (210–230 g) – substantial yet well-balanced for confident handling and extended use

Sheath: Kydex (rugged, injection-molded with secure retention, drainage hole, and multiple mounting options including belt loop, MOLLE-compatible clip, or dangler adapter)

Other Features: Plain edge (non-serrated for clean cuts and easy sharpening), no blade coatings requiring special care, high-quality fit & finish typical of BPS Knives

Country of Origin: Ukraine (BPS Knives production)

Intended Uses: Bushcraft (feathersticking, wood processing, fire prep, shelter building), hunting (field dressing, skinning, caping), camping/survival, tactical/utility work, heavy outdoor tasks—excels at slicing, piercing, light batoning, prying, and general hard-use in demanding environments

The BPS Knives Kharakternyk stands out for its no-nonsense, high-performance design: the thick D2 blade holds a keen edge through heavy cutting and abuse while remaining field-sharpenable, and the OD green micarta scales provide outstanding grip and durability with a classic military-inspired aesthetic. The full-tang construction and thoughtful ergonomics ensure confidence during prolonged or strenuous tasks. At this midsize (5.7-inch blade), it strikes an excellent balance between portability and capability—large enough for serious work, compact enough for belt or pack carry. A favorite among bushcrafters, hunters, survivalists, and tactical users who value tough, reliable Ukrainian craftsmanship at a competitive price. Maintenance tip: Lightly oil the blade after use (especially in humid or salty conditions) to protect D2 from corrosion; sharpen on stones or guided systems (D2 responds very well to diamond or ceramic abrasives). A standout, hardworking fixed blade from BPS Knives!
