LT Wright Large Northern Hunter. This knife is PERFECTION.

LT Wright Large Northern Hunter. Best Fit & finish of all my knives (with my Gunny Scandi). Absolute perfection. Steel is AEB-L. Never used that, so its a question mark i forgot to mention. If it behaves like Sandvik stainless steels, im happy. Swans appear at 20:03.

Ha! I knew you'd love it! Wow! I have that exact knife. It also comes in a small version which is very handy as well. I love them both and the larger one is very likely my favourite knife of all time! (And trust me, that's saying something!) Welcome to the world of the Canadian Belt Knife. Its my favourite design. (I may be biased, as im Canadian... Lol!) I think LT's version is the best out there currently, given materials and craftsmanship. You will find it does camp chores and bunting/fishing tasks very well. Of course, im not sure it beats a puukko in woodworking, but its not bad! Congrats! Lovely spot. Great video.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

You definitely was right!😃 That design is such a killer!! Have been actually eying on Canadian belt knife for a longer time. And then saw this knife, it also combined the fact that i've been wanting to test LT Wright knife. So I pre orderd this many months ago. And I must say Im reeeeeally impressed with the whole thing from the design to fit & finish, blade geometry to the great sheath. Fan of LT Wright immidiately! Also very happy to use a design of Canadian heritage, as its such great country. Thanx for watching! Cheers!

[@thefishinglor6931]

Congrats on your new knife! LT Wright makes the best knives in America. I really like their knives. It looks like you got a large northern hunter with a bead blasted micarta handle. Enjoy and be safe, sir 🙏

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Yeah the Large Northern hunter ABE-L steel. Have to say, This exeeded all my expectations. Im fan of LT Wright immidiately. Thanx for watching!

[@dlrmon1]

While I enjoy a quality knife, I’ve never really fussed much. They never seem to stay “nice” too long. Some of my favorites are the near death look’n knives with history..

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Me either.. knives are made for use, and I also when they start to have signs of use and patina. Thanx for watching!

[@tkeefe0601]

Still loving this knife? Thinking about buying one myself. Only hesitation is the edge retention so curious what your experience is with that.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

I have now use it one year. And definitely still loving it. Edga has held fine. (though Im not too fussy about those things, easy to bring it back). Great blade! Have an awesome day!🌲🔪🌲

[@turtletruth]

I've got the Large Northern too, and I'd also recommend the Joker Canadience knife out of Spain for $100.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Ok thats a good price, should check that one! Thanx for the recommendation, and thanx for watching!

[@tropokinaml8240]

There's a similar design from Joker call "canadiense". Both nice knives.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Yeah, its actually very high on my shopping list. Looks like a very interesting knife! Will probably end up in my collection sooner or later😂 Love the.canadian design.. Thanx for watching!

[@jhtsurvival]

I love seeing abandoned things and pondering their back story...

[@OldForestBushcraft]

For sure! Those things could speak, they would have pretty amazing stories to tell..

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Stunning footage of the swans, they have returned here in the last week. I don't think the harma whatsit bird is crane, If I remember rightly crane is kurki or something like that. Couldn't see it in the shot but maybe a grebe or a diver? A grey one presumably 😂. That does look like a fantastic knife and very different to anything I own, maybe a few similarities to the Joker Nessmuk.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Thanx man, the swans were keeping me company the whole time I was there. Came really close. Oh yeah, im such an idiot, it was not a crane but a Grey Heron. It showed very poorly in 16:02 about. Thanx for watching!

[@zdenekbart]

You have to leatherform the sheath. Put into a water for 30 minutes, then put the knife in how deep you want be, and form around the knife with your fingers hardly and deeply, then put it on sunshine until it is absolutely dry. Then put knife in again, not earlier, wait until is totaly dry.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Never actually tried it. But maybe I should! Thanx for the tip, and thanx for watching!

[@zdenekbart]

Do it. Form it like deep you want it be. It is not hard to do it. You can do it.

[@8626John]

​@@OldForestBushcraft I have done some wet forming of veg-tanned leather. In that situation, 30 minutes is too long for soaking the leather. Just a couple of minutes does the trick. Maybe it takes longer with oil tanned leather; not sure what L.T. Wright uses for their sheaths.

[@spektr540hemi]

I rather enjoy your enthusiasm for the blades you have reviewed. Your discernment prior to making an acquisition shows, so why would your reviews not be positive ? From the item of conversation, your mellow tone of narration and of coarse the absolutely beautiful landscapes. Informative, relaxing and visually appealing. Definitely going to add one of these to my collection now... Thank you for sharing.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Wow! Thank you for the very nice comment, and feedback! Much appreciated! Thanx for watching man!

[@dlrmon1]

You bring back great memories. The old cabin community I was raised in had an island that was a boat grave yard...all around the island in the shallow waters you could find old wooden boats filled with rocks. I remember family stories of generations of our boats being placed there...

[@dalepak1955]

Nice knife. I edc the smaller version in a pocket sheath. Mines a full flat convex grind. It’s a super slicer. I’m from Ohio and I’ve met Lt at my local knife shop a couple times. He’s a great guy.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Considering buying the smaller one also. Love the design. Did just an update video of the knife. Has been probably my most used knife of ghe summer. Thanx for watching!

I’m currently living in the Philippines, I have a friend who is a blacksmith and I had him make me a knife of this same design with a mango wood handle , it will work very well for me as a hunting knife, good video thanks for posting 👍😁

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Wow! That sounds really cool knife! Thanx for watching!

[@daym8]

It must be scary sharp as well.The knife has got a beautiful shape and can fits well in the palm by the looks of it.👌👍

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Yeah, Insanely sharp! I love the shape. Now after few more days of use Im felling in love more with this one😀. I was a concerned a bit with the handle as I’ve never owned that type of handle. But that is actually really comfortable. Thanx for watching!

[@dlrmon1]

Other than the looks, I never got the “Nessmuck Hump”. Maybe good for spreading food other than that I’ve always been compelled to grind it off...Just Say’n

[@dlrmon1]

I’m grown partial to the old “French Trading” style of knives LT Wright use to do...think there Battle Horse knives now...

[@johnrush7699]

I love knives and learning their qualities and performance, I would recommend that as you talk about your knives put them to use at the same time, let your viewers see the knife in action and how well it performs the tasks you ask from the knife. People want to see how good the knife is in use , to see if it makes the task easier or harder to do and to judge if they want to invest in the knife themselves

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Yeah I agree, planning in doing a review with thisone where I just use it for various tasks. At the moment my absolutely favorite blade! Thanx for watching!

[@clintwestwood3539]

If you like the northern hunter, try a Mora 2000. LTWK have better finish and are more aesthetically pleasing, but I prefer the 2000 compared to my large northern hunter because it feels better in hand and cuts better both fish and wood. It’s uglier, don’t get me wrong, but since you love this model as much as I loved it (still do, but I don’t use it much, it’s on a shelf since two years now), I do recommend trying the 2000. Not the kansbol, the Kansbol is worse from my experience (handle-wise). You can use the LTWK sheath for the Mora 2000 btw! I still do use it in that

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Hey, thanx for the tip! Im actually considering ordering this sheath for other knives. I love it so much. I owned the Mora 2000, but dont know where it is anymore (probably at our family summer house, totally beaten up by some cousin in renovation etc., lol). I remember liking it, and actually considering buying some new Moras, as they are currently in discount in local hardware store. Cool to know it fits the LTWK sheath! Thx for watching!

[@clintwestwood3539]

@@OldForestBushcraft Yeah the 2000 is sooooo good. I personally love slicy stainless knives and that led me to the large northern hunter, but then I tried one while fishing with a friend (his), and I was blown away. It’s truly sad that they are seen as cheap knives to just abuse, they truly are amazing as far as knife performance goes. They cut sooo well

[@reddirt5489]

Love your videos! Love the nature in Finland 👍 I’ve been trying to find this knife, it is very hard to find. May I ask where you purchased? Nice review!

@@OldForestBushcraft Thank you!

[@8626John]

Good video! I have been looking at that knife for some time and your review makes me think I should pull the trigger and get it.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Its a great one! (did also update review of it, actually ended up using amongst other things as a Mushroom knife, lol). I think two weeks at the archipelago, in my Family summer house, sums up my use with this knife: it was in belt practically from dusk till dawn. Used it for opening fish, making fires (sauna and outdoors), odd cuttng, lots and lots of food prep etc. Super versitale blade. But for the woods, bushcraft things I do take other knives, f.e. my GNS Scandi etc. Thanx for watching!🌲🔪🌲

[@leroygodfrey3532]

No finger guard,, any knife without one is lacking a major component.

[@OldForestBushcraft]

I must respetfully disagree. As a guy coming from the land puukkos, I mainly own knives without fingerguard, never actually been a fan. Much better control without. For military knives for sure! Thanx for watching

[@sopwithcamelus]

The ricasso is the guard. The handle also keeps the knife under control. A guard may be helpful when the knife knife has a very linear profile or is for combative purposes. Even then, it isn't essential if you know how to hold it.
