With the Genesis, LT Wright Knives were born. Appropriately named for the first knife to come out of the stable, the Genesis grabbed the blade world's attention and LT and crew have not looked back. This Kephart inspired knife pairs a full sized handle for all day comfort with a full, exposed tang for maximum toughness in just about any cutting situation. A handy thumb scallop adds control for pinch grips, and the crisp 90 degree spine shaves tinder and strikes a firesteel with ease.
Measuring around 9 inches overall with a 4.25 inch blade, the Genesis is ground from A2 tool steel, a tough, wear resistant steel that takes a keen edge and is easy to maintain. Choose from a slicing flat grind or the bushcraft favorite scandi, each finished by hand by expert sharpeners. Our guide to knife steels covers what A2 brings to the table.
Well balanced and quietly handsome, the Genesis is the cornerstone of a whole family. For the same DNA in a different size, the compact Next Gen handles everyday carry, the Gen 5 stretches the blade to five inches, and the heavy duty Gen 3 scales it up for serious chopping. A high quality leather sheath is included and rewards a little routine leather care. Proudly made in Wintersville, Ohio and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
