The Genesis by L.T. Wright is a knife steeped in history. This was the model that launched L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives as a company, and is inspired by the knife carried by Horace Kephart, the forefather of American Woodcraft. Dual meanings only enhance this versatile knife.
The versatile spear point blade is a bushcraft classic and lends itself well to nearly any task, from woodcarving to skinning to drilling. Each edge is finished by hand by expert sharpeners, and the spine of the blade features a crisp, 90-degree angle for scraping or striking a ferro rod, also known as a firesteel.
The comfortable handle on the Genesis is shaped by hand to remove any hot-spots and provide hours of comfort under hard use. With a broomstick-style handle, this is a knife that will fit just about anyone. Thumb scallops further enhance the grip with a natural place for pinch holds. The scales are triple riveted to the tang with Loveless-style “Fisheye” bolts in addition to high-strength epoxy, granting durability that will last a lifetime.
The knife would not be complete without a sheath. Retention is good
