LT Wright GNS, Fatwood On Ice, Emberlit and a New Canteen Kit for the New Year

[@airpaprika]

Well, I have it in O1, 3V (both sabre ground) and AEB-L (full covex, shorter blade). You can say it is my favourite knife. Wonderful workmanship from LT Wright.

[@marodriguezsr]

A lot of people including myself enjoy & appreciate watching your videos so much. Take care my friend and stay warm.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the very kind, encouraging words, Marco! I really appreciate that, my friend! You and all of my other subs and viewers are just plain awesome! You take care, too, and I hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave

My GNS is my favorite user for the woods. Such a good knife.

[@bushcraftzombie7286]

Nice video looks a little chilly out there yeah my favorite thing to cook in is military cup also awesome knife thanks again for the videos

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, a bit chilly but I would call it "ideal conditions" for a video! Noodles are great to make in the USGI! Thank you for all of your support over the past year and I hope to talk with you again soon, my friend! -Dave

I couldn't agree more, my friend! Canteen kit review and comparison coming soon! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your excellent comment! Very nice to hear from you! -Dave

[@rainbowhiker]

Those knives are beautiful in that they do things so effortlessly. Good seeing you in the trees again. // I've missed you cooking and using canteens. I have one of these canteens myself and discovered the Pathfinder lids fit them nicely/perfectly as well. Thanks Dave, I'm always picking up something good from your adventures and reviews. Keep your boots dry 😑

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thanks for demonstrating the use of the high carbon blade with a flint, well done Dave! A pleasure to watch and I do love Ramen in the woods too🖒👊. Wade

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, Wade! Very nice to hear from you, my friend! One of my favorite things about well treated 01 tool steel is the ease of getting sparks with flint/chert. It was a pleasure to have you here and I hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave

Nice vid. I have a LT Wright Patriot for my EDC. I like it a lot. I am thinking about adding the GNS or Lagom Bush knife this year. The Cuse is having difficulty winning on the road. Hopefully today is the day for a win. Have a great day. Stay warm.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words, Ricky! I have heard great things about the Patriot! You would absolutely love either the GNS or Lagom! Two of my favorites. You are exactly right about the 'Cuse. Tough, hard working team but the raw talent just isn't there. I am hoping for a win, too, and I think they can put together something good. Are you thinking NCAA or NIT tournament this year? You have a great day, too, my friend! It's great to hear from you! -Dave

[@buzzandselunsupervised649]

Good skills! Here in the UK it rains a lot... fatwood is a big help. I don't buy it though, to use it you have to harvest it yourself. Just one of my wierd ways to keep the skill alive

[@scotthill6807]

Darn, that looks cold up there. It's even cold here in Texas. Love my LT Wright GNS but mine is saber ground. Thank you for braving the cold for a video. Did the canteen cup come with the Nalgene canteen or was that purchased separately? I might pick one up for inside my pack and carry the water bottle in the outside sleeve. In the heat down here you go through a lot of water in the summer. Thanks again.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Scott! It definitely wasn't warm but very fun! The canteen cup and nalgene did not come together, however, it is an inexpensive kit to put together on amazon. The USGI canteen cup is about $15 and the Nalgene canteen is about $8. You would love them! -Dave

Say Heah, Yeah, Happy belated New Years to you too, Dave, Yup, I have the LT Wright G. N. S., I got mine in 3V, with the Coyote Black Mountain Handle, Yeah, a real nice knife.

[@Jaxon1776]

I respect the guy with the most worn ferro rod on KZbin! If I didn't know how mad your feather sticking skills were Dave I'd say using an LT Wright knife is like cheating. Thanks for another great video and giving me an idea what to do in the woods tomorrow.

[@LeeRalph100]

Some Nice products Dave. I have been looking to trying out a better quality knife then After looking around a bit, the Lt Wright Knife seems like a good step up[ from what I have been using. The Genesis really shouts to me, but after watching your video I will look into the GNS. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this knife. Take care my friend!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hey, Lee! Great to hear from you, my friend! An LT Wright knife is always an excellent upgrade! Truthfully, its very tough to choose between to the 2 outstanding knives in the GNS and Genesis. Keep me posted on your thoughts and say HI to the grandkids for me! -Dave

[@dancartlidge5202]

Excellent vid....great looking and performing knife! My go-to is a Mora Bushcraft, which I just love...mainly because it only set me back 45 balloons, and yet performs like a champ. I'm just wondering if the expenditure of 4x for a knife that obviously looks WAY better, and performs...maybe better...is worth it. Would it perform better? I will say that the LT Wright is certainly more of an heirloom quality looking knife...one that I'd be proud to hand down to my grand kid, or some such.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching and leaving your excellent comment, Dan! There is nothing wrong with the Mora Bushcraft series, as I own several. They do perform like champs. I think "worth" is subjective but I can say that there is just something about LT Wright Knives. The quality, fit and finish and durability are top notch and the company is full of very nice people. I would say that you can accomplish many of the same tasks with either knife, but there are some differences that I like about LT knives. I love their scandi grind, their 01 tool steel, the craftsmanship, comfortable handles, blade thickness and ripping sharp spines. -Dave

[@jeffcarter3139]

Hey Dave, how's it going brother. I can't find that I commented on this video before. I use fat wood alot to start my grill, like right now. Plus a ferro rod. Just keeping it real my friend. I really enjoyed watching and appreciate your skills my friend. Have a great day my friend. Tennessee

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Nice video. Have used the GNS since I got it from Blind Horse Knives on their July 2013 monthly special (usd 115 w/sheath back then). This was the saber grind version. Recently ordered a new one by LTW, scandi grind this time. Also love the Emberlit, got the stainless version first, then the tianium later.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Fjell! Aside from the grind, is there much of a difference between the classic BHK GNS and new LTWK GNS? Just curious. I don't have the titanium Emberlit, but I do love using the original stainless! -Dave

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Not much difference, the new GNS from LTW have slightly longer scales (3-4mm) compared to the original model from Blind Horse Knives. The blade on the new model seems for the same reason 3-4mm shorter, but the cutting edge is about the same. Biggest difference is the sheath. The original from Blind Horse Knives ( goo.gl/JBJqks ) came in a sheath stamped with the model number 6A on the back, and the same sheath is now sold by Battle Horse knives. So you could say LTW continued the knife model, while Battle Horse Knives the sheath. Not sure who makes the new sheath for LTW, but I suspect JRE Industries [edit: ah, you said so in the this vid], certainly looks very similar when I visit the JRE homepage and look at the models there. Anyway I prefer the old sheath over the new, it is more solid and the knife more deep seated., which I prefer. Here is the Blind Horse promo for the July 2013 Special, the GNS kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpq3ZImPrZ1-rsk . Btw I also go the Genesis in A2, like it, but I more often carry and use the GNS. Also have a hard time deciding which I like most of the Genesis and the Lars Fält Knife from Casstrom in Sweden, they are very similar....:)

Great video thanks for everything you do! Do you prefer the gns or the genesis

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! I really appreciate the kind words! Tough question! There is nothing wrong with the Genesis, however, being that my GNS is the newer knife, I have been using that much more as of late, so my current preference between the 2 is the GNS. I also like the 01 tool steel of the GNS just a bit more than the A2 of the Genesis. All that being said, I do love the Genesis, a lot! -Dave

[@D45VR]

amazon has the GI canteen cup available WITH a lid...

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching, frank! I know that the official USGI canteen cup does not have an official lid that is made for it. On amazon, I've seen the GI "type" canteen cup that comes with a lid but I really wanted the USGI cup. Plus, the lid i purchased i isn't bad at all. -Dave

[@spider5001]

Great video friend 😀🎉 That canteen is awesome! Did they make the canteen plastic to save on weight? GNS is amazing! I’m looking at an AEB-L version to buy. Everything around me is salt or brackish and it’s very very humid in the summer. Still loving my Lagom. They said they modeled the handle from an axe handle. Maybe I will just get another Lagom😂 orange g-10💪🏻 great gear! Look forward to more videos 🙂

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words, my friend! Great to hear from you! I think Nalgene was looking to make a modern day replica of the old plastic military canteens. BPA free, USA made, no plastic taste and transparent to see how much water is in there. I like it a lot. Of course I prefer stainless, but I rarely cook directly in the canteen. The orange g-10 Lagom knives look awesome! Keep me posted on your LT Wright purchases and I look forward to talking with you again soon! -Dave

[@spider5001]

HighCarbonSteel Love hey friend I learned a hack kind of to keep the Lagom in the sheath after it wears in. You put shock cord through your lanyard hole loop it under your ferro rod on the sheath👍🏻

[@terryshrives8322]

Hi Dave, big question for you. I finally have a chance to buy the lagom bush knife. The thing is, I've really been looking at the gns and I'm just not sure. The lagom isn't made anymore, but I have a chance to perchase it. So this will be my last expensive knife. Which one would you choose??

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Wow, tough question, Terry...haha! Actually, bensbackwoods.com just got more Lagom knives in stock. And I love the Lagom, a lot, however, I have found myself using the Kamrat Companion a bit more due to the smaller size. All that said, I really think you would enjoy the GNS. The Lagom's handle isn't for everyone and I know some people that just don't like it and/or never got used to it. The Lagom handle is a bit of it's own style, while the GNS handle is more made for 'everyone'. Its beautifully contoured and feels great in the hand. Also, its different blade size and profile make the GNS very versatile and a pleasure to use. I would consider the GNS more similar to a "woodlore" knife style and I am positive you would absolutely love it. Let me know what you go with, my friend! -Dave

[@terryshrives8322]

@@HighCarbonSteelLove Thank you so much for your answer Dave. Well I ended up choosing the Lagom! I must say that I absolutely love it!! I put a mirror finish on the scandi, and completely flattened it out to a true scandi. This knife stands out, and quickly became my most prized knife! Also the edge retention is outstanding!! I want to thank you for your video's and the time you spend answering 😀 I would have missed out on this Lagom, if it had not been for your time. So thank you again! Now as for my mention of it being my last expensive knife... Well I'm ordering the GNS tomorrow evening in 3V steel lol. I just couldn't help but go after it as well, and with my good blessings lately, I figured I should 😉 God bless my Friend and have a great evening!!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I am sorry it took so long to reply, Terry, but I am very happy to hear that you are loving the Lagom! Sounds like some beautiful work you've done on it! I completely agree about the excellent edge retention. I would like to thank you for all of your kind words and support over the years and I am more than happy to help. I am also very happy to hear that you are ordering the GNS, too! I think you are going to love that one, as well! I can't get enough of it...haha! Be sure to let me know when you get your GNS and what your initial thoughts are and then, of course, I'd love to hear your comparison between the 2. Congratulations on your good blessing lately and you have a great evening, too! -Dave

[@MK-uc3ow]

Sir, you have a nice wood stove which keeps a stable fire inside. My wood stove doesn't accept such thick woods so I have to prepare several thin sticks to create a fire. In Japan, we had unusual heavy snow storms during season but how about your region? I hope that your wood stove was enough to worm up during your enjoyment.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! The Emberlit stove is excellent! I have used it for many years. In my particular region, it snows from about November until April. The stove and the noodles were very warm! -Dave

Thank you so much for your reply, sir! Since I was living in Hawaii, we had dewdrops during winter on the islands but I heard that blizzards at the mainland was so harsh. Please have hot and worm dishes and enjoy this season.

No such thing as cheating in firecraft brother. LOL! I always wanted on of those. LT makes good knives. Liked the flint and steel using a knife spine action. Thumbs up!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Great to hear from you, my friend! Thats a very good point..haha! You would absolutely love the GNS and LT's 01 tool steel always works great for flint & steel! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave your awesome comment, brother! -Dave

[@Tracy81258]

I only consider fatwood “cheating” if I haven’t gathered it myself. If it’s collected during one of my hikes, it’s fair game. I own both the Genesis and the GNS. Between the two, the GNS has the better blade profile for general camp duties, which would include food prep as well as wood processing. The Genesis is a great wood processor, but I find it clumsy in the kitchen. Another great video Dave. Always good to see your smiling face.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Great to hear from you, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your excellent comment! Great points on the GNS vs Genesis and I definitely concur, although both are a lot of fun to use! I appreciate the kind, encouraging words and hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave

[@huejanus5505]

Very good looking knife considering it's not for show. I'm like you in that i don't usually use my fatwood, unless need be. But then i always have a bic or two on me when out in the woods. Better to succeed with a bic than fail with a ferro rod.

Greetings and happy New Year, my friend! I have been using the same set-up (even like colors) as your new canteen kit. The oasis rocks and it Never will hold a flavor from a prior beverage. The canteen cup from USGI is one of the best buys out there. Just two quick items: - how does cup fit on Emberlit? & - Did you try your Pathfinder cup lid on USGI? +Thanks Dave!

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Happy New Year to you, as well, my friend! Nice to hear that you enjoy your canteen kit! The cups fits onto the Emberlit very well, as there are small cross-bars that go on top of the stove. The Pathfinder cup lid does fit onto the USGI cup and will work, however, it's not a perfect fit. I will show it in an upcoming video! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave

Sweet knife, but I think that I like the Lagom better as well. Dave Canterberry has those lids on the Self Reliance store.Thanks for sharing!

I am with you on the fatwood Dave. I almost always create the properties I need out of the materials I find. It really has to be horrible conditions for me to use fatwood. I have never tried an LT knife. I have been looking at the genesis for a while but would want one in a full flat. I have become extremely picky about my knives. I have (custom knife) on the way that I think will be a perfect fit for my needs. It's kinda exciting to see how all my experiance/ trial and error has brought me to this point. I think this knife will eliminate all the things I dislike about most production knives that are out there now a days and hopefully dispell some knife myths when I shoot the video. I'm sure you will enjoy that cook set. I have one similar and love it. Have a good week my friend and happy new year to you and your family.

[@maplehouseknives]

Adventure Time Outdoors hmmm .... you have given me food for thought my friend! I must add though...from my experience.. a full flat is not the best for bushcrafting. Just my humble opinion!

[@AdventureTimeOutdoors]

Maplehouse Knives I agree %100 but when it comes to picking an all round knife I prefer a blade no wider than 1.25" 1/8 thick and in a v cross section with a distal taper. That is a beast of a carver that is also great for food prep and many other small tasks. I really have no need for a batoning knife. As I do it so rarely unless I am reviewing a knife. When I can get by cleaning a fish slicing through veggies cutting meat with out that scandi bevel causing friction in the cut. I'll take a full flat any day. When it comes to heavy wood removal or batoning I reach for my privateer or my kellam puukko. They excell at these tasks. It really comes down to what you use your tools for and your style of fire craft. I would like to pick your brain some time and chat about this more some time Craig.

[@maplehouseknives]

Adventure Time Outdoors Hi Mark! I really appreciate your opinion and view. It is informed, not like a lot of folks that "jump on the train" when it comes to a new bushcraft knife. You can pick my brain anytime my friend! On another note, I got some shirts in, the wrong sizes came in. One is a 3XL. Not to poke fun or anything but I know you're a big guy. If you want it, send me your addy by PM, I will get it out to you on Monday. Let me know. Cheers my friend!

[@AdventureTimeOutdoors]

Maplehouse Knives ill send you a pm. I'm interested

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! It's great to hear from you! Yes, trial and error has a lot to do with choosing an excellent knife. It's funny on what we considered "excellent" before experience with high end knives. I look forward to your video on the new knife and also wish you and your family a very happy New Year! -Dave

[@campfiretrickery]

Very nice setup I like those transparent nalgene canteens . Allows you to know how much water you have left in the canteen . You gave me an idea I think a chicken noodle soup is a must for a cooking vid

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you, my friend! I think the transparent factor of this canteen is very underrated. I love knowing exactly how much water I have left. Great point! Yes, some sort of chicken noodle video is an excellent idea! Very nice to hear from you and Happy New Year! -Dave

[@Scashod]

Hi Dave ~~ As always, this was a great video. I'd really like to ask your advice on a knife. I'm very seriously considering the GNS, but don't know if I should get the Scandi or the Saber grind. I have several Moras, so I have Scandi grinds on other knives. Will one grind truly serve me better than the other? As I've been looking at knives, there are many good knives around. One of the reasons I'm leaning so heavily on an LT Wright knife is because of the readily available left-handed sheaths. That's just icing on the cake for me. What are your thoughts on Scandi or Saber? Thank you, my friend. ~~Susan

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hi Susan! Great to hear from you, my friend! I have both saber and scandi grind knives and really enjoy both types of grinds. While I prefer a scandi, sabers are very fun to use, as well! I think if you decide on the saber grind GNS, you will enjoy it. It just takes some minor adjustments when using it over a scandi but I find very easy to get used to and it's very comparable with woodcrafting tasks. You cannot go wrong with any LT Wright knife and I am glad to hear that your left-handed sheaths are readily available. Keep me posted on what you decide on, Susan! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave

[@danofiremano]

Beautiful knife David and your new canteen kit is nice too! My question would be how the GNS stacks up to the Spyderco Bushcraft-UK that we both have and love?¡?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your excellent comment, Dano! Nice to hear from you, my friend! Great question! Both excellent knives. I would say the GNS stacks up very well against the Spyderco. Very similar style of knives. Both have my favorite 01 tool steel and very comfortable handles! -Dave

[@lordnekronow19]

Exelent knife,exelent price. Thank you for this review

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

You are exactly right, Darko! I was happy to see that Blade HQ has them back in stock. That is the absolute best deal around in the link down below! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave

Sure is a nice knife that.

[@jelkel25]

Unfortunately, many American made knives (like LT Wright) are overpriced in the UK but there are many British and European made knives that are very good and at a better price. I really like my Enzo Trapper which has a good dangler sheath and a very sharp spine. Great Christmas gift, those Tritan Oasis canteens are fantastic bits of kit.

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

I am sorry to hear about that, my friend, however, I have heard that the Enzo Trapper is an excellent knife! Sounds like you got a great Christmas gift! Yes, I am loving the Oasis canteen! If you are looking to purchase a new beautiful, high quality knife, Maplehouse down below does outstanding work! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave

[@jelkel25]

Maplehouse make outstanding knives, (unfortunately) unavailable in the UK, I'm Canadian so will look into them the next time I'm in the great white north. In the UK Chyrose knives are worth several looks and there's still many good knife makers producing in Sheffield (A. Wright, Joseph Rodgers ect.)

[@redhedkev1]

The Emberlit, stainless steel or titanium?

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Stainless, Kevin! Thank you for watching! -Dave

[@redhedkev1]

@@HighCarbonSteelLove I've got the titanium. Light, doesn't retain heat although the edges are very sharp.I wear gloves when I assemble it.

[@seanoindaugherty308]

Not sure that's what "go no show" was meant to mean. "No show", as in not showing up to work? That is how I interpreted it. Work typically gets in the way of getting out to the woods

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for watching! I actually spoke with the very nice people at LTWK about the name of the knife and was informed that it was for GO not for SHOW. I also provided a couple of links which touch upon the same concept. -Dave kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3XdlJiAoNukn68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpq3ZImPrZ1-rsk

I like your opinion on fat wood. I use it because I'm lazy but if your practicing skills, it is cheating. :)

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Hahaha! Yes, being lazy sometimes is also an excellent reason to use fat wood! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, my friend! I hope the road is treating you well, brother! -Dave

[@MichaelQuigley-fy5rc]

Great job Dave but you do realize that's not "carbon steel" right? ;)

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Thank you for the kind words, Michael! 01 tool steel is my absolute favorite! -Dave

Say Heah Dave, My GSN in 3V and the Canyon Black Mountain Track G-10 Handles is still one of my Fav's. I got one for you. What's the difference between Beer Nuts and Deer Nuts, Well Beer Nuts are about $3.99 a lbs, and Deer Nuts are under a buck. heh heh heh. Dilly Dilly. .,,.p

[@HighCarbonSteelLove]

Your GNS sounds excellent, my friend! I have always been curious about the GNS in different steels and handles! Thank you for stopping by! -Dave

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, That's silly what you think about fatwood, In olden days when men were bold and rubbers weren't invented, men used socks upon their dings dongs and babies were prevented, yeah they used fatwood too, But because I used my 3V GNS over the weekend it reminded me of you, I wanted to tell you how great it makes feathers . Yeah it's slightly curved but mostly straight was made for curls, and making kindling, Mine has the Saber Grind and I got the 3V steel, I also got the Canyon Black Mountain Track G-10 handles, I teamed it with my 2Hawks Warbeast Tomahawk which I also cleared with it, and my EZ KUT WoW Folding Saw, my back-up knife was my Vic. Delemont Collection Rangergrip 78. You did good, (again). Dilly Dilly.,,.p
