How Knives Are Made At L.T. Wright Handcraft Knives

[@truthlover2319]

Very Cool Video . Wish I Would Have Seen This Before I Got My LT Wright Knife But After Having Seen It I'm MORE Satisfied With My Purchase . I Love My L.T. Wright Bushbaby . I Plan On Getting A Bigger L.T Wright Knife Soon . *Thumbs Up*

[@shawnbowen6833]

Sold me on LT knives with the hero! That's awesome that they did that. I have many hobbies that take up to much of my money but I'd like to do more camping next summer so I've been researching knives and LT was a company I was looking at. I'm a army veteran myself so I like supporting companies that support veterans and the fact that they made a knife like that specifically for disabled veterans blows me away. My next fixed blade WILL be a LT. Thank you LT for doing that!!

[@anthonyp7051]

Lt is the current day ultimate woods knife maker. I know this is filmed several yrs bk things within the co has changed since but the quality of knife making only shines brighter. The HERO knife will be my 4th purchase from Lt. It has all that I believe we as Americans need to be doing,,,giving bk to our vets and wounded warriors. Will you are a fine example of the woodman that lives in me. The S named knife you and Lt came up with is on my have to haves list also. Saber and if I was at a grind in I’d work the edge to a thinner apex.

Thank you Will and all the staff at LTWK for an awesome and entertaining video!

[@nickharwell9909]

I love and live by my Benchmade Bushcrafter but watching this video has helped persuade me into buying one. When I do I'll be sure to tell em Mr. Mantis Myers sent me. Thumbs up!

[@dancartlidge5202]

It's so cool to see the guy who puts the stamps on the blade of my GNS Scandi....and to see how he creates the different grinds of each knife. It may be that the steel isn't forged in-house...but the fit and finish absolutely IS in-house!! Good work, guys!!

[@dougmclean8403]

Thanks for doing this. I'm a big fan of the LTWK. It's great to see the hands on craftsmanship in action.

[@edwardharding8148]

I just bought my first L.T. Wright knife. a GNS Scandi, and this is so cool to see the birthplace of my blade. It's almost like watching my own knife being made. !

[@littlejimbridger7770]

Yep, same here but went with the Forest Trail, A2, saber along with a Next Gen, A2, flat grind for EDC. Love both. Very cool to see the steps taken and care given to each procedure. Well done Will and thank you L.T.

[@RDM-fc6rd]

Great inside look at people that put out an American made product. That will last a couple. Lifetimes. Thanks. Ronnie,Texas

[@bladejockey9211]

H.E.R.O. as soon as she said that i was sold. That is awesome. I love companies who actually care.

[@eny68]

Another fascinating vid Will, thanks for sharing with us, and thanks to all at LTWH for letting us peer into the artisanship that produces these wonderful tools. I am panting for part 2....oooh! I see it....!

[@ddoucet1313]

Excellent video. Very informative and that fact that it was informal actually gave a better feel for the overall process. Very cool!

[@ddoucet1313]

Looking forward to part 2!

[@WilliamMyersmantisoutdoors]

[@cafeqc3793]

Nice small company whith the big heart. I am your fan now!

[@WilliamMyersmantisoutdoors]

cafe qc awesome brother thanks for your kind words

[@dumaflotchy13]

Fantastic knives ...

[@turtletruth]

I've been trying to get a SOSPES knife for a few years now! I guess LT is no longer making these most awesome Tarzan-type knives anymore, which is a real knife industry shame, in my opinion! People that are hopeful of purchasing a SOSPES need to let LT know it, and maybe he'll bring this beauty back into production for his fans. Just looking at a SOSPES knife makes me feel like knife fighting an alligator! ( I REALLY NEED A SOSPES!)

[@victorblack9006]

To do great videos will. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And thank you LT Wright For putting out some works of art

[@RedFatCat78]

[@Zombot]

[@susceptor3574]

Great vid Will, really lets you appreciate the value of handcrafted knives! Thanx for sharing such a great experience.

[@michaelstevenson9648]

I have never done bushcraft in my life, but that GNS scandi grind knife looks shit hot!

[@burkefeaster9883]

Excellent field trip.

[@EatCarbs]

[@ShuggyTV]

The only thing i hate about lt wright knives is how perfect they look. I don't wanna use them, but when i do, it is extremely sharp and feels awesome sauce. Amazing knives.

[@ChrisWilkesSurvival]

Great video.

[@rustynails113]

Are these knives made with USA steel?

[@CoastalBackWoods]

Very cool, thank you!

[@JesseAdams]

William Myers MantisOutdoors I wondered about that blue mark right when you asked about the heat treat.

[@WilliamMyersmantisoutdoors]

thats why i asked

[@JesseAdams]

William Myers MantisOutdoors Yea sorry, I meant I'm glad you asked because I was thinking the same thing right along with you. Another great video. Thanks.

[@TenEight2023]

Some of my LT Wright knives have a L stamped on one side of the blade and then a few of them have an A stamped in the blade. Any idea why?

[@MidwestWoodcraft]

A is for A-2 tool steel L is Aeb-L Stainless

[@WilliamMyersmantisoutdoors]

Watch part 2 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHvalqmDm65qfaM and dont forget to subscribe for more L.T. Wright videos and much much more.

[@mbarnhill86]

Great videos man i learn alot from them. My question is how does the GNS compare to your pathfinder? Or how does it compare to the canteen shop BHK? Have you used or seen the canteen shop BHK? If so what is your opinion on it. I am trying to choose between the canteen shop BHK and the GNS. Thanks man.

[@kennethcaloun5138]

nice video thanks

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Will, Does LT use Peter's to Temper any knives ? Thanx in advance. You did good.,,. p

[@lesrap]

do you make your micarta?

[@xXDarkHolidayXx]

Hmm. Im curious about something. When he was sanding that metal (The knife) he was not quenching it as he was sanding it. You can see it was turning blue which is indicating its getting very hot. I wonder if this messes with the metal or not. I'm sure its ok but, the tradesman in me wanted to ask.

[@xXDarkHolidayXx]

xXDarkHolidayXx Nvm, had i watched another 1 minute in you asked him haha.

[@tomsmyth5138]

The secret password to gain access to the pout house on L.T wright’s website is key.........keystamp.

[@lolorgtfomf2248]

fuck heat treat in house out house , these guys are making the best shit out there ATM

[@justinsanex4]

I love these knives ordered a gns in black , they had green and another color told me it would take 3to 5 weeks to receive a black Marketa handle? WTF.... 288 dollars switch a green or another color , remove the scales, produce black scales 1 week maybe 2 ...,. come on Lt wright loss of 280+ shipping 8$

[@honeybadger660]

Yay first comment ! Awesome vid will

[@lesrap]

why don't you heat treat in house

[@MikeG-js1jt]

26:23 He said "this is going to be dusty" and then proceeds to sand without protection!?

[@lloydjacobson1812]

Great video eh !!!

[@phrankus2009]

William ? ... A lot of effort went into this video (both you and LTW) and you posted this vid way back in December and it has yet to attain 5K views ... ... The LTW-GNS has received a lot more "press" (exposure), even since December ... I think it is time for Chris to post and promote this vid on PM101 and YOU should also revert the status of this vid to "PRIVATE" and, then, RE-PUBLISH it as Public ... You will not lose any of your views-count or any other stats by doing this but the YT system bots will re-feed this video to your subs and it will re-assign "RELATED" vids and links ... Just saying ... This vid was published just a little before it's time and NOW would be a good time to roll it back out.

[@kellerknives]

William, not trying to be a downer here, and not taking anything away from L.T. Wright knives, they do make some nice knives. But a handcrafted knife isnt a water jet cut blank, or ground with a jig, and its heat treated out of house. There are plenty of knife makers out here that make hand crafted knives. Just saying, its very demoralizing to us handcrafted knife makers when people see this and think its hand crafted.

[@danielheller9624]

+bobby keller agreed

[@jonathanpinkston124]

I’m a knife maker and I specifically forge knives and these knives are definitely hand crafted. Carful thought and consideration are taken into these knife to produce something repeatable but to say these knives aren’t hand crafted is false

[@airtioteclint]

Bobby do you smelt your own knife steel from ore?

[@moredankmemes3755]

@@airtioteclint plebs. I mine my own iron ore in addition to refining it into steel. I carefully harvest carbon to add from only the highest quality sources. Then and only then, do I grind my knife, but only with rocks that I collect myself that have enough grit to grind metal. Further more, I use my feet to grind, as hands are cheating because they are too coordinated, and thus not truly hand crafted. I only make 2 a year so that they're not mass produced. Get on my level.

[@airtioteclint]

@@moredankmemes3755 same. But I also grow my own scales. When people ask, I just tell them it's deer antlers because human antlers sounds weird.

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

Hmmmmm, seems to me that this vid should be called LT. Wright hand "assembled" knives. Not much crafting going on there.
