5 Categories, 5 Must-Have Knives

[@dougwatkins5441]

Good collection of useful working knives. My favorite is the Knaf lander

[@ChateauBeaufort]

GOOD STUFF😎

[@bsmithhammer]

When I get the quesiton, "What is the best all-around knife?" I answer, "There is no single, best all-around knife, but it's the GNS."

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Hahah love it!

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

No. It is not. The GNS is good but not the best by far.

[@bsmithhammer]

@@JosephAllen-d2e Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

​@@bsmithhammerSure thing "El Duderino" lmao

[@ColdHarborOP]

That is a damned impressive collection.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Thanks a lot! I’ve been at this awhile! Now if I could only convince my wife that this is impressive 😂

[@ColdHarborOP]

@@TheBeardedBurton I have a large toolbox with a workstation up top set up in my study, and an entire drawer is dedicated just to LT knives (and a couple Woodsmonkey folders, too). I'm a collector myself, but, aside from a few Redwall orders, mine are all fairly bone stock. I've never had much luck with the Christmas Sale or drawings/giveaways.

[@Rcknives]

Good choices 👌

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Thanks!

[@Rcknives]

@@TheBeardedBurton Check out my bushcraft knives 👊

[@LTWrightKnives]

Thanks 😁

[@tomturbuckle0076]

Kabar Eskabar, Cold Steel AD10, PKS Kephart, Esee Nesmuk, A kukri or Becker 9 would be my dream set up. A 6th category would be super rust resistent serrated folder with blunt tip like the Spyderco salt series similar to what is issued to the Coast Gaurd.

[@LTWrightKnives]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mannihh5274]

Thanks for showing us your favorite knives and explaining your approach. You seem to live in a quite warm environment, otherwise you would never favor an aluminium handle, in wintertime you'd hardly get a box opened before your knife hand is frozen! Your custom knives look nice and it's a sign of quality, if they hold up to the 'fools method'. of batoning by beating on the tip like crazy to drive the blade through the wood - but do you know there's a SMART way to baton? When you cut your baton, cut a second one and saw it in two at a shallow angle to make it into two wedges, then drive the blade in overhead the wood, where it's strong, remove the blade and go on with the wedges. This way you can 'baton' wood of any size with almost every blade, even with a SAK. It's no extra work, you get a bunch of tinder and kindling from carving the wedges, and when you're done, the wedges can be used as firewood. Don't need an expensive, big, heavy knife though there's no danger of compromising the blade, no limits to the size of wood - that's why I call it 'smart batoning'

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Awesome Knives! Your Beard Lore is one great design. Like a GNS on steroids. 👍

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Thank you so much, it’s my baby!

[@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

The guide knife with no choil, I want that asap. Put that sucker into production at 3mm thick with the scandi. I'll be your first customer!

[@TheBeardedBurton]

So join the Pout House because there’s a model called the 8-Pin that you can build out as a member that is dang near the same as the Guide but just a tad better in my opinion

[@MountainRaider]

Great blades!

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Thanks a lot man!

[@hiramhaji7813]

No one was ever confused before the Internet came out, 1095 was king. Most people had a Bowie knife and a fillet knife anything over and beyond that were saws and axes….

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Well the crazy thing is, the internet did come out and we live in a world where you have options. Sorry I didn’t show what you wanted on my video

[@hiramhaji7813]

@@TheBeardedBurton 🤣 the context of what I said had nothing to do with what I wanted to see on your channel… Try to enjoy your day…. Go make knives or something, that knife you made looks way better than your attitude about people making comments. If you don’t want to see opinions of others, turn the comments off…

[@inregionecaecorum]

Well yes my Bowie is still my goto camp knife, with an SAK in my pocket. For a chopper I have a nice bearded axe, with not the hardest of steels and a Condor Lochnessmuk, which is like a big brother to the standard Nessmuk and is a bit like a Kukri when it comes to use. I did not like the profile of the blade however and made some modifications. Neck knife has never been a thing for me. It was always Bowie in my youth, never came across a Scandi before that young puppy Ray Mears came along, it was Lofty Wiseman and Eddie McGee before that.

[@powersww1reset]

So, an LT Write ad. Didn’t realize that, based on the thumbnail

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Well it’s literally on the LT Wright Knives channel ha…. And um an ad means it’s something you can buy and most all these knives you can’t buy anymore. And I literally start the video with folding knives that aren’t even made by LTWK. Sorry a free video upset you, but the LT Wright Knives channel may not be for you if you don’t want to see LTWKs

[@1mataleo1]

Are you able to choose the type of steel for your knife during the knife class? Im in PA, but it’s been a goal of mine to eventually get down to the shop and take a class if I’m ever able to save up the funds. I’m not a steel snob, but O1 rusts if you look at it the wrong way, and I just don’t like it as a knife steel. I much prefer A2 or 3v. And speaking of 3v, I finally was able to pick up an Illuminous 5, and let me just say, this knife exceeded my expectations. I’ve wanted this for years, and finally snagged one. You guys are the best

[@LTWrightKnives]

We use O1 for the class knives because you heat treat the knife yourself during the class. That is not possible with A2 or 3V.

[@1mataleo1]

I understand. Thanks for the info 🙏🏼

[@loaferx5409]

That's a lot of knives that no one else can have JB. How are the rest of us supposed to sleep tonight?

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Hahaha you aren’t, there’s to many to collect even for me!

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

1. Microtech LUDT 2. I dislike neck knives, but like small edc fixed blades, which i typically scout carry. My favorite is the Bradford Guardian 3 in magnacut. The Tops Street Scalpal 2.0 and Esee Izula are close runners up. 3.Adventure Sworn Mountaineer 4. Didi Galgalu, William Collins Northern Survival knife, and Esee 6 in orange and venom green. 5. Esee Jungulas in orange and venom green (of course only a moron would buy a different color Esee. OVG is the ONLY CORRECT Esee color scheme.) Natchez Bowie.

[@Jmon808]

Is that ulu/ skinner looking knife available anywhere today to purchase? Or similar style?

[@mightymik3yb1008]

A bunch of knives nobody can get. Very helpful

[@TheBeardedBurton]

The purpose of this video wasn’t the knives but the categories. Finding which knife you like best in each category would probably mean some that others may not can get, that’s part of what makes them the best! Folks accuse me of making ads to sell knives so I made a video about my favorites that are rare and am still wrong 😂

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

​@@TheBeardedBurtonfk all these cynical, negative mfrs.

[@jacobvasco990]

That no name knife is my dream knife, is it possible to request L.T Wright knives to make it for me on order

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Dang

[@jacobvasco990]

Please tel L.T to make that no name knife

[@jacobvasco990]

There is another one with the same scales, that one is scandi grind, with finger groves. Those knives are awesome. I saw it from CLP Bushcraft videos where he shows his knife collection . Man I love it

[@LTWrightKnives]

It is named the Switchback now.

[@jacobvasco990]

@@LTWrightKnives is on sale for everyone to buy now?

[@LTWrightKnives]

@@jacobvasco990 It is a low production model, CHeck the dealers or some of our shows.

[@docsavage9773]

Great video… only… 5 must have knives in the title is misleading…. Most of yours are one offs… so… “must have” is not an option for us…. Other than that… nice choices

[@richardhenry1969]

The title should be look at what i have and you can't get.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

@@richardhenry1969the title is MY 5 must have knives, not yours. That’s why I ask you to let me know what yours are 😂

[@richardhenry1969]

@@TheBeardedBurton I guess when you actually say it like that it's different than the title. But I give you that. I was joking when I wrote that. But now thinking about it you wouldn't know. I can say the knives I use the most. Mora Garberg but mine as a convexed edge and different sheath. BPS Adventurer really love that knife. BPS Aura probably my second most used it's a limited edition. Reminds me of Mors kochanksi design. My most used watchman we222 a very useful design in 14c28n a steel I love. My other knives are puukko blades made from lauri blanks. You have a amazing collection they are outside anything I can afford anymore. Have a good one 👍

[@100BearPaw]

WTF??? Title reads must have knives. In other words, y’all need these right….. Then all you show are one-offs? Title does not match the video dude. Title should read, “My favorite Knives in every category”.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Sorry this upset you so much but read it from my perspective, these are MY 5 must have knives. And I literally ask what are your must have knives in these categories. Folks have even left comments letting me know what there’s are so they got it.

[@100BearPaw]

So upset ha ha.

[@scrick7112]

Hi. So the title of the video “must have knives. Although you have a great collection, you’re showing most knives that aren’t available, even on a waiting list. Just saying. Thx
