LT Wright Genesis Scandi Grind, A2, Matte Python Micarta, Leather sheath, bushcraft knife

The LT Wright Genesis Scandi is a cool and popular bushcraft knife, made in the United States. In terms of shapes it is a little like the archetypical bushcraft knife: simple but good. The handle looks simple, and it is. After all, simple works. You have enough grip over this ‘broomstick’ handle no matter how you hold it. Whether you are notching, feathersticking or cooking. The deep cut-outs at the front of the handle and side are perfect for your thumb. Great during a ‘chest-lever’ cutting movement, or when gutting game. As such you will always be 100% sure how you hold the knife. Even in the dark.
Of all LT Wright bushcraft knives the Genesis is one of the most popular. Justifiably so, if you ask us! The extra attention paid to the construction of this knife has truly paid off. The handle is attached with strong pins for a mechanical construction. LT Wright combined it with naval grade epoxy. As such the construction is even more solid. Ready to be used!
This version of the LT Wright Genesis is enhanced with a scandi grind. To make sure the edge is extra sustainable, and better equipped to handle heavy-duty use, LT Wright enhanced the Scandi edge with a micro-bevel. A minimal secondary edge, like on the cutting edge. As such the knife retains its sharpness and won’t easily chip.
## A2 steel blade
A2 is a tough type of strong tool steel that retains its sharpness well. An advantage of A2 is that it is easy to sharpen. Even when you are out in the field with limited means. Do, however, be careful with rust: A2 is not completely stainless. Pay close attention when working with moisture, salt and acids. This could change the colour of the blade or establish a patina. So clean it after use and occasionally add a couple drops of oil.
The comfortable handle is made from micarta. A strong and light-weight material, made from linen and synthetic resin. Feels comfortable in hand, even in wet or cold circumstances.
This knife comes with a top-quality leather sheath.
## About LT Wright Knives
LT Wright Knives is an American outdoor brand. At LT Wright Knives they still largely work in an old-fashioned way. By hand ‘grinds’ or ‘bevels’ are added to the blades, the handles are glued together and shaped, and even the entire knife is finished by hand. This means that there can be subtle differences between the different versions of the same knife. Both in terms of finish and size. This is also the charm of LT Wright Handcrafted Knives: each knife is unique. It also means that sometimes it is difficult to keep all knives in stock. But the models that are labelled as ‘in stock’ on our website, are in stock and can immediately be delivered.
