[@Ou81269]

Purchased the Lagom, and you were spot on with your evaluation. Had to follow it up with the Genesis. These maybe the two best bushcraft knives out there.

[@snaponjohn100]

Great to see you out again. It is hard to pick one over the other. Be blessed my friend. John

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Great to hear from you, John! I completely agree, my friend! Thank you for stopping by! -Dave

Great review Dave. Really enjoyed it. Sure makes me want one.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and leaving your kind words, John! Great to hear from you, my friend! Everyone should own at least 1 LT Wright Handcrafted knife! -Dave

[@frankserra6709]

Dave you are one of my favorite knife reviewers. You get right to the point and actually use the knife being tested. Bought a AKC Forest knife and must tell you it's a nice blade. Looking forward to your next review.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave such a nice comment, Frank! I really appreciate that, my friend! You are exactly right...the AKC Forest is excellent! I look forward to having you here for my next review! -Dave

[@anthonymaddix4063]

I love the genesis knife and I have one of the lagom bush knives on order and I really hope that I like it just as much.

[@bravoland_]

The Lagom seems like a great knife to add to the collection. I own the Genesis, and I Love it. Great informative video.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, my friend! I appreciate the kind words! You would absolutely love the Lagom! I can't say enough about that knife..it's my favorite! -Dave

[@woodswalker64]

Very nice comparisons! I love that polished edge on the Genesis!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words, David! I really tried to cover as much as possible in the comparison! The polished edge is an excellent touch to an outstanding knife, my friend! -Dave

[@LTWrightKnives]

Great video! Thanks!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, my friends! Love you guys! -Dave

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

Awesome video Dave. I appreciate the comparison, and the many tasks you showed putting them through. Before I wrote this comment I went and ordered the Lagom. It seems to fit better with how I regularly use a knife. Plus, I'm a puukko fan boy, lol. The Genesis looks great too, and it is likely I'll end up getting it as well. Thanks again Dave.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Joshua! You are going to love the Lagom knife! Let me know your initial thoughts when you get it, my friend! -Dave

[@bosse641]

Nice helpful video. ....very insightful. Thanks.

I am glad I could help, John! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! -Dave

[@thomasmathews7444]

Great review. Appreciate your practical and positive approach. Love to get my hands on a Lagom... can’t find one anywhere. Let me know if you know where I can track one down.

[@watermain48]

Great look at a couple of fine blades Dave. I don't have either, but I do have a few LTKW blades and love them all. Thanks my friend...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Great to hear from you, Bill! Thank you for watching, my friend! Which LT Wright knives to you own and how do you like them? I think everyone should own at least 1 LT Wright Handcrafted knife! -Dave

[@LouiseGardner412]

They work great Dave! Nice comparison.. good to see you

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and leaving your very nice comment, Louise! It's great to hear from you and I hope everything is going well on your side of the state! -Dave

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Everything is good and looking forward to a week of excellent weather here! -Dave

[@LouiseGardner412]

Yes! Hearing 90s coming up!

[@nattybumpo4384]

Nice to see a pair of hands that have done more than type. Great knives, I'm going to try the Lagom. I've been using a BCNW01 for many years and looking forward to trying the 1/8th inch blade. Well done review!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! I really appreciate the kind words! I absolutely love the Lagom and I think you will, too, my friend! -Dave

[@jay-rus4437]

Have both of these. Have had many other knives, including many others from LT Wright (gary wines, gns, bushcrafter, and a couple others in sabre grind)....but these two, genesis and lagom, have managed to stay. I take the genesis when i only have one knife and a folding saw. I take the lagom when i have a saw and a small hatchet. I actually prefer the blade of the lagom slightly better, but both are excellent knives. Appreciate the work you put into your videos dave....thanks man.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Justin! Sounds like 2 great setups you have there! I appreciate the kind words, my friend! -Dave

[@gldrifter3161]

Thanks for the vid Dave, was wondering how they both compared to one another. 👍👍

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch, my friend! I am happy to be of some assistance! -Dave

[@chrisgrey2417]

Well, after watching this video and your other Lagom vids multiple multiple times, ive finally pulled the trigger and bought the damn thing. Snake skin micarta... Hope its as grippy as the other colors. In the mail! Thx for all the awesome vids!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great blades Brother! You are a blessed man to own 2 such great knives. I think that I prefer the Lagom, but they are both awesome blades.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, brother! I am very lucky, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! The Lagom is outstanding! -Dave

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

Awesome comparison. Well done. Genesis it is!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! I really appreciates that! -Dave

[@gavingaming123]

Excellent comparison video Dave. I think the Lagom is more in keeping with my use's of a knife. Thanks for sharing my friend. All the best from Scotland. Garry

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, Garry! I appreciate the kind words, my friend! The Lagom more 'my style', as well, however the Genesis is outstanding! -Dave

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Great video Dave. Have LT send you a GNS and you'll have the perfect trifecta test. Disclaimer, I love my GNS in 3V.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I will definitely have to look into that, my friend..lol! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! -Dave

[@WildMedGuru1]

Great review!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind words, my friend! -Dave

[@davebuts1921]

Two great knifes, I don't think you could go wrong with ether, both look great. more troubles this side of the pond, but you cant let them keep you down. Thanks for the journey into two great knives my friend. Take care brother Dave UK

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

It's great to hear from you, Dave! I've been thinking about you since the terrible events in London and am very happy that you are okay! You have a great attitude and thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave

[@drcsep]

Great comparison...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, Carlos! I appreciate the kind words, my friend! -Dave

[@joshferguson4660]

Both look great! Both would serve different purposes. I prefer the look of the genesis though personally. Great comparison and review as always!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your great comment, Josh! I think you would love the Genesis and I really appreciate the kind words! Very nice to hear from you, brother! -Dave

[@phyllismulkey3778]

love them both

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

There is definitely a lot to love about both knives, phyllis! It's nice to hear from you, my friend! Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@brandona.6337]

nice review Dave 👍🏻 take care brother ! ✌🏻️

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, Brandon! I really appreciate that my friend, and you take care, too! Very nice to hear from you! -Dave

[@brandona.6337]

HighCarbonSteel Love you're welcome Dave !

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

awesome looking knives!! thanks much and a toast with coffee in hand lol blessings sir 😇

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch during your breakfast, sir! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving your awesome comment! -Dave

[@NathansFerroceriumrods1]

Both are nice blades.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching Nathan! They are both excellent knives make by tremendous people, my friend! -Dave

[@troymanning3150]

I love my Lagom! Don't have the Genesis...yet. With LTW you can't go wrong with any of his stuff. Nice vid!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Very well said, Troy! Cannot go wrong with anything made by LTWK! Excellent company and tremendously nice people! I think you would also love the Genesis, however, the Lagom is still my absolute favorite. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving your kind words, my friend! -Dave

[@ryanadam1153]

How does the Genesis feel with the handle not being in line with the edge of the blade? I prefer profiles like the lagoon where the handle is in front of the blade

[@kevinsluder3711]

Great review. I appreciate the variety of cutting and carving tasks you demonstrate. could you put a sharpening video in your plans for future videos? I imagine the unique HCSL approach to knowledge sharing will be a valuable addition to the spectrum of information available.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, Kevin! Over the past year, I've only had to strop the Lagom knife, however, the most recent sharpening video I did in the field can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYXLhp6hnq94qpI. -Dave

[@John-qo7ly]

Hi Dave, great video I agree with you both would be the ideal combo, if you can’t pack both with you then you probably shouldn’t be in the woods to begin with.😊❤

[@LeeRalph100]

Hi Dave, I had heard great things about there knives. The Genesis is a great looking knife. I was really impressed with it when I saw someone carrying one it at a recent camp. Being I am a fan of the Mora style knife, I was surprised that I liked the beefier Genesis. Thank You for a great review and comparison between these two knives.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and leaving your excellent comment, Lee! I agree, the Genesis is a very handsome knife and feels great in the hand! Say HI to the grandkids, my friend! -Dave

[@LeeRalph100]

I sure will. Thank You my friend for always remembering the boys.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, too, my friend and I always keep the good boys in my thoughts! -Dave

[@themiwoodsman7222]

they both look good Dave and they both have there places ! Very nice ! atb john

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

You are exactly right, john! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! Great to hear from you, brother! -Dave

[@charleslarson3152]

Nice!!! For myself, the choice would be the Genesis. Why? I consider the handle on the Lagom to be an invitation to slipping forward onto the blade. I require some kind of a hand/finger guard on my knives. But that's just me. I know that both are excellent quality. Take care Amigo....always great to see you back online!!!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, Charles! I appreciate you stopping by, my friend! My dad shares your opinion on the 2 knives for the exact same reason! Always great to hear from you, Charles, and I hope everything is well out west! -Dave

[@three08reaper]

Hey brother I love the comparison and actually bought a Lagom after your review. I think a better comparison is the Lagom vs GNS. I own all 3 and think the Genesis is at a disadvantage. I will have my channel up soon.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I look forward to checking out your video, Michael! The Lagom is such a great knife and I definitely plan a comparison between that and the GNS in the future! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave

[@jrozanec1]

Lagom is unique take on Skookum. great knife. BTW, which type of ferro rod you use, what diameter/size?. I noticed , you are very efficient in fedderstick fire making :) I still struggle whit this skill.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

You are exactly right - it's a very interesting interpretation of the Skookum. I really like the simplicity of the Lagom. My absolute favorite knife! The ferro rod I am using in this video is the "Kong", which is 6" long x 3/8" wide - www.ebay.com/itm/Ferrocerium-rod-Kong-6-inch-long-x-3-8-diam-mischmetal-ferro-rod-firesteel/132432280943?hash=item1ed5943d6f:g:nZwAAOSwEppUQ9OF. I purchase all of my ferro rods from Nathan4071's eBay store. Outstanding, affordable and many size options. Keep working with the feather sticks and you will be an expert in no time, my friend! -Dave

[@florianmauron6670]

Great Comparison! Greetings ;-)

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words and greetings, Florian! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave

[@realmetis8002]

hey Dave i dont have knives in o1 but i have 3v a2 1095 and many others.in your opinion how is a2 vs o1 in edge holding if in same gring PS thanks for the awsome review

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hey, my friend! I have a few knives in 01 that I have been using for awhile and I love that steel. I haven't been using A2 very long, but truthfully, I haven't seen much of a difference yet. Both are outstanding! Both have held their edges very well. I have not had to 'sharpen' any of my A2 knives, but have stropped them and it brings the edge right back to hair popping sharp. -Dave

[@realmetis8002]

thats what i thought. i have the brkt a2 gunny and its awsome still thinking about the lagom might pull the trigger soon lol. thank you for the reply and great review keep up the great work ciao

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, too, my friend! I really appreciate all of your support over the years and look forward to talking with you again soon! -Dave

[@spider5001]

Hey friend 🙂 You are the only one with Lagom videos so I have been watching them over and over😂 Can’t wait for Christmas because I am sure I will have one. Do you know how you like the ability to rock with the Lagom? The reason it is a bit harder with the genesis is they put a small convex on the apex. So it’s not truly a scandi ground to zero. It’s a scandivex.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hello, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch my Lagom videos! I am glad you finally received yours and please keep me posted on how you are liking it! -Dave

[@mistersmith3986]

Dam brother, you're the world's best salesman! I'll take both. Hahaha! God bless you.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Haha...you would love both of them, very much, mister smith! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, my friend! -Dave

[@seanlikesnfl]

Cool

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, Sean! -Dave

[@rickys6198]

Great vid Dave. Go Cuse

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words, Ricky! Yes! I grew up in the Syracuse area and the football team needs all of the support they can get! -Dave

[@thomasn8566]

Nice knives, Dave. How do you feel they compare to the Benchmade Bushcrafter you have?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, Thomas! The Benchmade is awesome and feels great it the hand, however, I do prefer the Scandi grind of these knives. Nice to hear from you, my friend! -Dave

[@alexwbanks70]

Genesis!!!! I love mine.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thats great, Alex! The Genesis is outstanding! Thank you for watching, my friend! -Dave

[@frisb.7948]

Fantastic video, Dave! The Lagom would be my choice. Oh, and here's an off topic question: Do you have any ticks up around where you live? If so, how do you deal with them? Thanks again for the great video, cheers.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! We do have ticks and I usually just use deet when in the woods and/or long sleeve shirts and pants. I appreciate you stopping by, my friend! -Dave

[@frisb.7948]

Thanks for answering Dave! Have a good one. :)

[@Airik1111bibles]

The Lagom baby! all the way😉 a true bushcraft knife. I dont have an Lt Wright Lagom or any hand made custom yet but I do have the Bushlore, Garberg, Mora HQ robust and the Cold Steel Finn Hawk. The Finn Hawk is the poor mans Lagom and not Reviewed enough IMHO, I know I've said it before but ya gotta order one Dave. I have been comparing it to all my Mora's and I have to say its won me over, its such an amazing light weight knife and has an amazing handle grip. It is the sharpest knife I've ever received out of box, I did strop it into a slight convex cause the edge was a hair thin for my taste but I love it now. Anyways I know once ya have amazing knives like the Lt Wright's some knives might just not appeal to ya anymore, but I hope that ya might consider the purchase. Great video Dave🙂

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment, my friend! Next time I am in the market for a new knife, I will definitely check it out! -Dave

[@scotthill6807]

Be careful, LT Wright Knives are addictive! I have a GNS and a Great Plainsman, both in the green micarta grips. They just work and hold a great edge, I have been very happy with them. Thank you for the video. That Genesis looks nice.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I couldn't agree with you more, Scott! Tremendous knives, very addicting and made by outstanding people! The Genesis is an excellent knife, my friend! Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@Mr450pro]

It’s nice to see knifes actually being used right. 👌🏻Other reviews they just make feathersticks and baton, and that’s it 👎🏻

[@davidreeder968]

good day to you Sir. As I am a big Kephart fan I love the Genesis but I can't find a supplier in the United kingdom.you make it all look so easy. Have you made a utube on the Genesis please. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your day. .David U K

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Good day to you, too sir! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your comment, my friend! I am almost positive that LT Wright Knives ship worldwide or you can find some of their dealers that will ship to the UK. Just visit this excellent website - www.ltwrightknives.com. Here is my video featuring the Genesis by itself - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6KppZWgZqilhbs. -Dave

[@Tracy81258]

I only wish the Lagom weren’t so hard to track down to purchase. They seem constantly on back order.

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

Wow! To cut a wood in two vertically with a knife you need a very strong knife, I guess! And yours look like they can cut very well!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, Federico! Very nice to hear from you, my friend! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave your awesome comment! -Dave

[@nickmiller3796]

I like them both but I think I favor the Genesis.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

The Genesis is such a great knife, Nick! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave

[@spider5001]

The infamous question. Which would you want if you were stranded? You can't say both or either. Which would you personally prefer?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

The Lagom! -Dave

[@afprojektcz]

👍👌

[@barra650]

The downside of owning both knives would be to decide which one to take with you . Cheers.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

You are exactly right, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, Thanx You. Since I had a Blind Horse Bushcrafter in O1, I passed on getting the Genesis. I also had the handle on my Bushcrafter made flat with rounded corners fo a great comfortable handle, I also had it polished and it came out as a high priced Kephart. But being only a 4" blade,,I like my Benchmade Bushcrafter a little better especially after I formed the handle perfect. Anyhow, I got my GNS with the Coyoye Black Mountain Handle. Bit last week I used my Fallkniven A-1 and H-1 and carried both side by side because the Sheaths allows it. Last weeked, I used my Fox Jungle Parang, Its very similar to my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife with a few minor suttle difference. anyhow I teamed it with my Cold Steel Master Hunter a great combo I might add. My friend also brought up my 3V Skookum Bush Tool. So after we got back, Just to compare my Fallkniven H-1 to my Skookum, I realized how similar the two are. Sure their different but similar. The Lagum reminds me of them. If I had to choose between the Lagum and Genesis as my Bish Craft Knife. I would prolly go with the Lagum. No offemce to the Genesis. Because I still love my Bland Horse Bushcrafter and its still going strong. I bought it for $125.00.,,.p

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Sounds great! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

HighCarbonSteel Love Dave Santa came again today, Bringing me my S.S. Canteen Cup (Military), But he also brought me my Fox Trekker Utility Camp and Sniper Knife, I plan to team it with my Fox Hitam Golok which was my first Fox Knife. Even though both are TactiKewl. Both will be used in the bush. Primarily I got them for my wet conditions which I don't mind going when wet. Their great in all weather because of the N690Co. Bohler Austrian Stainless. Yeah, I must of been a Good'Boy, Eah, heh heh heh.,,.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Santa is a good man! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

HighCarbonSteel Love Yeah, and I don't know how Rudy Found my house after he got into Santas Egg Nog, heh heh heh, It must of been that Navigating Nose Tuned to the Satellite Navigation System. Heh heh heh.,,.p

[@paulie4x1]

But seriously Dave. I also put my Garner Gator. I went with the 420HC Clip Point and Serrations and again just took my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw. I was able to start my fire making curls with my Gator Folder. My friend is coming up again later on. She works at a hospital. She's not bad with our bish crafting and holds her own. She's using my tools so I don't know what she'll bring up. But she's a good cook. I think steak and shrimp is in order, heh heh heh. But I think my new Fox Hitam Golok which I already had and now my new Fox Trekker Utility Camp and Sniper Knife. Man they do sound TactiKewl, but seriously I know they will ne just right in the bush here on the border of Pa.,,.p

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Nice Review. Assuming Lagom is inspired from Swedish language and knife traditions, you can listen to how it i pronounced on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagom :)

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@survivorjohnny44]

great side by side. I think I like the genesis more because of the finger guard. take care brother

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, brother! A lot of people like that small finger guard on the Genesis! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
