Making a spoon with the Gen 6 from LT Wright Knives

I talk about the Gen 6, why I wanted it made, and discuss its capabilities

[@tamadrummer001]

I’m very sad that these are sold out and gone. Larry, this past year I discovered the series and have an incredible amount of respect for you and your absolute honesty with all you do. I hope all things in life bring you joy and/or an opportunity to learn and grow. You are a real inspiration/hero for simply being the man you are. Thanks man

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you very much for the nice comment, I appreciate it. This knife isn’t gone, and I didn’t know it was sold out. Did you contact Lt Wright Knives?

[@tamadrummer001]

@@LarryRobertsbc I have not contacted them. I will do so. Save a bit and make this a big purchase. It’s an amazing piece of equipment that has all around usefulness. The “one “ Tool you really want next to your brain. Again, thanks for the inspiration and honesty you bring to this crazy world.

[@tamadrummer001]

@@LarryRobertsbc just wanted to update my last response. It is available on the actual LT KNIVES website. Hopefully I will receive this knife for Father’s Day. Thanks for pointing me in the most obvious direction lol. Stay strong and happy man!

Thank you!

[@Timothy_Jones]

Loved the video! I have a Kabar Turok and a Globetrotter. I've only done two spoons, one from cedar and one from poplar. I really enjoyed watching how you carve your spoons! I'm a lefty too!

[@daryooshfatemi]

Thank you very much for the video. It helped me to get quite sure that I never need a bushcraft knife that long 🔪✨ Ps your sharpening philosophy and method is flawless 💯☝🏽

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks!

[@mr.delacruz559]

Thanks Larry! Glad I took Jonathan’s (Bearded Burton) advice and went with the Gen6 because I absolutely love this knife! I rotate between this and my LTWK forest trail in Saber grind. Good job on making the blade longer. Take care Chief!

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Awesome! Glad you like it.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Larry, I do the same technique of making a temporary front handle too. It really makes carving the spoon safer, more comfortable and faster. I can't remember who showed me but that sort of thinking has been useful on other projects. That blade looks like it hits a sweet spot between the smaller 4" that's very prevalent, and big choppers. I believe the saying "in practiced hands, a big knife can do anything a small knife can do, but a small knife can not do everything a big knife can". Just a little shop tip, you can quickly clean off your ceramic stones using one of the white drafting type erasers. No water needed, and no residue left behind.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Never thought of the eraser, good idea.

[@gco40gray82]

I'm really loving this knife, nice video Larry. And very nice knife. I love this Kephart design.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you! It has been very good to me.

[@brianspencer4220]

Thanks Larry you just demonstrated that we don't have to be fancy ; just effective. Thanks Brian 77

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks. I’m about the opposite of fancy.

[@Prodigalson0078]

Good functional spoon. Amazing how you used a six-inch blade to do it. I like that pot hook on the end of it. I've carved a spoon. Unfortunately, I used a 2 by 4 as a blank. Due to the chemicals used in pressure treated lumber I think I ought to pass on using it. It was good practice and a fun project though.

[@93FXDL]

I finally found someone online who sharpens the way I do... also a lefty

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Nice!

[@rickc4317]

Fascinating! Thanks, Larry.

[@rickc4317]

I've seriously considered it. However, I have a ML Knives custom Kephart, which is, as you know, very similar. I'm trying to vary my knife purchases so not to have a lot of similar knives. And, I'm not as successful as I'd prefer...ha.

[@EatCarbs]

Nice. I shot some video making a spoon, but I never posted it. I wasn't happy how it came out. Thanks for the video

[@LarryRobertsbc]

You bet man. My spoons are real rough, I wouldn’t be afraid to post it up.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Fantastic one amazing knife

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I love it. Thank you.

[@stillridingstrong]

just bought your knife at lt wright..will arrive home here in Canada in 1 week....glad you did the 6 inch blade

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Awesome! Please let me know how you like it.

[@stillridingstrong]

Larry Roberts i receive my knife last week and from the firts look i can only say wow ... still full of snow here where i live in canada. So i didnt really have the chance to trie in the wood but by the feel i can tell i will love this knife. 👍 good job from the 6 inch genesis blade

[@ChasenGunzOutdoors]

Enjoyed the spoon and sharpening video. Keep up the hard work. I need to see if I can make a spoon now. Been enjoying my Larry Roberts genesis. Enjoy and Be Blessed

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks! I’ll try and check out your video today.

[@bladecollector7]

Thank you what a great video thanks for everything you do! My next purchase

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you!

[@bladecollector7]

Finally a gen6 video!

[@Seancmccormick]

Nice! adding a handle to the front would help in carving. I'll have to try that. I plan on getting one of those Gen6's soon. Perfect length! Atb Sean

[@LarryRobertsbc]

The handle helps me for sure. If/when you get a Gen 6 let me know what your thoughts are.

[@spider5001]

Awesome job and video🙂👍🏻 I already bought your regular genesis before this came out. I love that knife. Maybe I will get the gen6 with some of my tax money🎉🎉🎉 Have you ever tried the Lagom bush knife that LT Wright makes for Lester River and Ben’s Backwoods? I always swap between the 2 every time I go out.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve held it several times. Seems like a great carver.

[@jamesgreen4522]

Been a while since I have been here. The beard looking great. Now that I am healthy I am back to bushcrafting.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Glad to hear it and thanks!

[@OutdoorSchmoe]

Great job on the spoon Larry . Quick question on the sharpening at the end . What was the white stone you use as your go to? Is that a ceramic stone by DMT ? My sharpening game needs help thanks

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you! The white stone is a very fine ceramic sharpener. I can’t remember the brand name, but I’m pretty sure I got it from smoky mountain knife works.

[@three08reaper]

If you don't have a Gen 6...GET ONE! One badass blade.

[@jeffsmith6441]

Very nice knife!

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you!

[@three08reaper]

Love my Gen 6!

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Awesome!

[@jmh7884]

Great vid can we get a video of your shop and of all the knives you have

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I’d really have to dig them all out. I have a lot. My shop? I just have a garage for my projects.

[@Howlingdingobush]

Sweet knife..

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks!

[@ramshacklewizard]

Nice video Larry, interesting method for doing a spoon. I've never left that handle on the opposite side while gouging out, seems efficient though! Had a question about whether you carry a small pocket knife along with the gen6? You strike me as an opinel kinda fellow! Keep up the good work man, love the content.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I always carry a pocket knife. I do like Opinel, but I carry a Bear and Sons Damascus Blade right now.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Larry, Oh, Yeah, you did good. I recently got a Flexcut Carving Jack. That changed alot of my thinking, about just using a knife. My spoons look alot more crude than yours, maybe my woods have harder wood. But I also like a 2Knife System. I also like Choils. But you did good. That Gen. 6 looks like you two are friends. Dilly Dilly.,,.p

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks! I do like the Gen 6 for sure. As far as Dilly Dilly...bah humbug! Lol

[@paulie4x1]

Larry Roberts, Heh heh heh, It's catchie, Dilly Dilly.,,.p

[@onionhead5780]

You got good skills. I would cut a digit off with that big old honking blade. Thumbs up to you vid brother👍

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thanks. I just go real slow and use my baton a lot. I feel I have more control when I do even for small cuts.

[@hammockdave4410]

Corporals corner sent me to your channel

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Thank you. He is a great guy.

[@highlandtrekker]

Do you add any kind of compound to your strop or is it straight leather ?. Great looking and functional knife, Thanks for sharing Larry ( :

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I have two sides with two different grits of compound and one straight leather. Thanks!

[@brendabbustamantay6802]

Where did you get the ceramic stone???

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I think I got it from amazon, but I’ve had it so long I forgot.

[@RME1911]

Great video and sweet shirt where does a guy get one of those?

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Primitive Spirit Wool Shirt and Hatkzbin.info/www/bejne/nmqqfoufgNpsr8k

[@RME1911]

Larry Roberts, I appreciate it

[@onionhead5780]

Lol. That’s funny because I want a genesis with a little bit shorter blade. Most of the shorter blades knives have a short handle. Me no like dat.

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Take a look at the Next Gen, it’s smaller.

[@joshbabb7470]

I would of just cut a branch off of a live Aspen tree instead of chopping down a tree for a spoon. This is just my opinion. I like to only cut down live trees if the wood needs to be green for a project. Maybe it's just me. Thanks for the video. - Josh

[@LarryRobertsbc]

I thin my aspens in my front yard, they grow like weeds.
