I own quite a few LT Wright knives, and I absolutely love them. The quality is awesome, and the handles are the most ergonomic I have ever known (with the exception of perhaps a few BR knives or Reiff knives). I am not really in to their small edc blades (or even tried) but have the Genesis, Outback, GNS, Bushcrafter, and Illuminus models, from A2, 3V to Magnacut steels. All are amazing. Highly recommend for those that don't yet have one.😊 Wishing you all a great New year's eve and entry into the new year!🎉
I'm 100% certain that your proximity to their shop in no way plays a factor or gives you insider knowledge about whether or not they're among the finest blades.
@@Swearengen1980 why is it that someone always has to get on here and be a complete spudknocker??? LT is one of the most respected names in the business and yes I own several of his blades!!!!
@@stevefisher2121 I don't think it was a knock against LT Wright and I agree they are great blades. It was just the comment that "because I live near the shop, I know they are great." Why not say I own, or use, or have experience with LT knives and THAT is why I know they are great.
sorry aaron, i like your channel and your personality but this title and thumbnail really left a bad taste in my mouth. it's misleading and clickbait, no matter if your video rectifies the first impressions, it's also potentially damaging for lt wright. please change these for the better in the future, your content really is good enough and doesn't need this. hope you had a great christmas and i wish you a happy new year!
Considering all the cutting,, slicing, whittling and batoning done with the small LT Wright Patriot, I think it did much more than what any small knife is supposedly able to do.
I've been running into this issue looking for a solid EDC fixed blade. Tried a number of them over the last few months and landed on the LT Wright Next Gen. It's got a beefy 4 finger grip and a stout little blade. I cut the belt loop off the stock leather sheath and it has made for the perfect all rounder pocket fixie, highly recommend!
It might make a good neck knife. It's like a mora eldris with a tiny handle. You might end up getting used to it after you give it a chance. For EDC you don't really need a big knife and this looks pretty convenient. Recently I got a BPS Finn Lite. Inexpensive, small and I've been wearing it around my neck ever since. Sometimes small is better.
I've owned many LT's over the years. My favorites are the Pronghorn and the Genesis. Pronghorn is fantastic for whittling on a stick, while the Genesis is great for a primary belt knife. Both are 3V with scandi grind.
In CA, bc EDC fixed blades are considered concealed, its much safer to the public to carry a 7" blade on a dangler bc its not concealed. Makes so much sense lol.
LT’s lineup of small knives are some of my favorites. There was a couple years back that they seemed to have done a 3V run with each of all their small models and I grabbed a bunch because they were still under or right around $100. The ones that come to mind are the Frontier First, Patriot, Lil Muk, and even the Pronghorn. That said, probably my favorite is the Great Plainsman I have in D2. It’s definitely got a blade that’s kinda in line with the rest but a handle length is like you were describing where you’ve got a full 4 finger grip. Also the blade profile just looks cool and the D2 heat treat seems great on mine because it holds an edge, feels very hard on the stones, and de-burrs beautifully.
a few years ago, I received an LT Wright Bushcrafter in 3V, and it is an outstanding knife. one of my grail knives is an LT Wright as well. ( Sospas) I really like this knife, and would probably carry it as a necker. the fit and finish on LT's knives are some of the very best I have ever seen, and I have been using fixed blade knives for 50 years. It is critical to know as much as you can about something before pulling the trigger on it, so I can see where this might have been a surprise if you thought it was a belt knife.
The Helle Belt Clip is a great solution to turn most leather hip carry sheaths into danglers. Best investment I've made yet, when manufacturers don't offer a pocket carry option 🤙
The best feeling L.T.Wright knife for general outdoors use that ive tried , so far , is the Large Northern Hunter . Its a design and feel that just seems to work for most any application . Id enjoy seeing a review of this knife !
For a small fixed blade for EDC it has to be stainless. It has to have a kydex or plastic sheath with a flat bottom so it doesn't rub holes in my pockets. It has to have a slim profile. Anything else and I just might as well bring a regular size belt knife.
Did you watch the video, not click bait. I would not have bought the Knife if I known the true specs. So huge mistake in buying the knife in the first place. Then I tested the knife and realize that sheath set up is not to my liking and the handle is too small. So I would say mistakes all around.
My edc fixie is a Wachtman Knife & Tool KLIFF model in 80crv2, and best way to carry is kydex with an Ulti-Clip in front pocket. Its been an amazing tool that has taken over most of my pocket time.
I did the same thing with BHK before the split with the woodsman thought it was coming in at 4 inch’s at least but it was 3 inch’s guess it’s a neat little scandi but I would of preferred some extra length. Love LT Wright I have a few and have never been disappointed.
I own 6 LTWKs. I'm also a believer in having a 4 finger grip regardless of how short the blade is. The frontier valley fits this bill well, mine rides in a custom leather pocket sheath. I absolutely love it for edc and light bushcraft tasks. It definitely was a conversation starter for a guys night out, when I pulled it out to cut some food. Pocket carry is the only option for compact edc for me, kydex or leather is fine so long as the knife fits well and build quality is high.
So you went to....some place that serves food that needs cutting and don't bring knives with it? Or you just wanted an excuse to use your knife when there were steak knives sitting on the table just so you could "show off" the knife.
I've been looking everywhere for the Patriot for work use. That being said, I have the Next Gen in 3v. It has a 3-inch blade with a 4-inch handle. I love it! If I could find a kydex sheath for it, it be with me everywhere! Right now, it sits in my get home bag in the jeep.
Nice review and that's a great little EDC knife. I love my LT Wright knife, the Bushbaby with the 3" 3V steel blade and 3.96" micarta handle. I can fit 4 finger grip on the handle. It's hard to find full grip on a small EDC, street legal in my county, 3" blade knife.
Yup, I’ve been fooled by these “mini me” knives as well...lol. Look forward to your GNS review. I’ve had the 3V saber version for about 8 year’s and it’s still amongst my favorite belt knives. The only thing I haven’t enjoyed about the few LT Wright knives I have is their Cult following...
You can put a substantially thick lanyard or a short lanyard with a bead for the fourth finger grip.Could just toss the whole sheath in pocket possibly for easier carry❤nice vid thanks for sharing a sweet model.
I know that a lot of people like kydex, but the sheaths are way too big and bulky. They are just some more awful plastic that ends up on our beaches here in the Pacific Northwest. If nothing else, just add some leather cordage or paracord with a fisherman’s knot and you have a dangler. LT Wright makes amazing knives. Thanks 🎸🔪
G'day Paul, Re; kydex, depends on the design and application IMO. I certainly hope old sheaths and the manufacturing there of, dont end up in waterways, ........ perhaps a long bow to draw ? ........ mind you, I do get your point, ........ unfortunately, ...... noth'n would surprise me ; ( I assume you do realise a "single" cordage dangler loop on a belt, will be always wanting to twist, so you're gonna need two of 'em ; ) Btw; you might like to take a look at a "double fisherman's" knot, .....like the Irish say .......... "to be sure" ; ) ....... hava a good one mate. Cheers Duke.
Not only are kydex sheaths slimmer than leather, they last as long if not more so. Kydex is absolutely not ending up on beaches. My lord the hyperbole here.
I had looked into LT a few times. But I ended up going with a Joey Roman custom and BGM Javelin. Both with 3” blades and full 4 finger grip in my xl hands. One in magnacut and the other in 3v. The BGM has a wicked hollow grind with the magnacut.
I had a Black Jack Tac Ops 5 knife in A2 with a full height convex grind. The steel was tough as can be and easy to sharpen and even though I lived in the South at the time the humidity never caused it to rust. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍⚔✝🇺🇸
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
I recently bought a DawsonKnives marauder Magnacut with striped burgundy G-10 scales serial number 443 & there's a few uneven spots which I was not expecting on a "semi custom" knife but I'll just pretend it's not there. Then the tacky kydex sheath it came with is trash I replaced it with a Hogue molle 5.5" sheath & it's a perfect fit. I bought it from KnifeCountryUSA for a good deal. Your thoughts on DawsonKnives?
I have a patriot and like it for EDC. It was my first EDC fixed blade, I got a an oak city leather supply pocket sheath and it makes it way more EDC friendly. The Frontier has a longer handle that you might enjoy more.
At this point the only LT Wright I'd consider buying is the Genesis in PSB-27, which is nearly impossible to find. I almost picked up a limited edition magnacut Genesis when released around Thanksgiving, but went with Reiff. I've seen some questions over LTW's execution of magnacut.
Man… some of these commenters are sour over nothing. It was a great video: informative, not “clickbait”, and gave some good insight into this particular model. Keep it up!
Ltwk is probably the best blade in bushcrafting...... And now that you are one click away from joining the pouthouse, you need to look at the Shamanese next!
*As long as you've not owned literally any other knife from an American company. If which there are tons doing better for the price, especially custom makers 🤣
My recently purchased first LT Wright was the Daily Carry in aeb-l. It's got a full 4 finger grip. Also has that 90° shoulder on the grip. I also wish there was a kydex option.
I would not have bought the Knife if I known the true specs. So huge mistake in buying the knife in the first place. Then I tested the knife and realize that sheath set up is not to my liking and the handle is too small. So I would say mistakes all around. So would say not click bait??
Your thumbnail caption and title makes it seem like there was an issue with the knife. You clearly know that LT has a good reputation for making high quality knives and that using those descriptions would be a little sensational and likely get some clicks from people who would see it and be surprised that you got a lemon from LT. Your actual issue was with a listing on DLT’s website. From your discription, they fixed the listing and offered to return/refund you. So it would seem that everything was made as right as it could be. The issue that you had was nothing to do with the actual knife. And it was not that significant to the actual knife review. The actual relevance is more of general “When you buy stuff online, every now and then there is a mistake on website listings.” Also your caption/description makes it seem like it was an LT issue. You never even mention that it was DLT. If you were not doing it for clicks, and thought that it was an issue with DLT, you would have cautioned people about DLT. But you didn’t mention DLT in the video becuase you knew that it was an honest mistake on their part and they did what was necessary to make it right.
This would be analogous to me posting a vidoe with a thumbnail that would remind people of gideons channel and adding the caption “Gideon's tactical…living a lie?” But the video is about how there was a debate in Gideons comments sections about whether clickbait is lying. And in my video, I come down on the side that “It’s a grey area as long as you’re not blatantly defaming someone.” Then someone complains in my comments section that the caption seems disparaging to gideon. And I respond “I didn’t say he WAS living a lie. And his video is actually what made me consider the subject of clickbait as lie….so my caption is not clickbate or defamatory. It IS a legitimate caption about something in the video.”
I had a Larry Roberts edition Genesis that was enjoyable enough to use but it required more sharpening than any A2 I've ever used because LTWK likes to run their heat treats in the low to mid 50s claiming it's for "toughness" but such thick geometry would make their stuff plenty tough in the mid 60s
@jmayville-s5z 59 is still not great by any means. No steel on this planet has any reason to be below 63. It has been proven by Steve Callari and @ericasedc
@@chrisp1598 it's been proven by Steve Callari and Ericas EDC that LT does super soft heat treats and both Steve and a maker Erica knows have made super high rockwell knives in the simple carbon steels that make LT's heat treat look like a sharpened aluminum can
It's been proven by Steve Callari and Ericas EDC that LT does super soft heat treats and both Steve and a maker Erica knows have made super high rockwell knives in the simple carbon steels that make LT's heat treat look like a sharpened aluminum can
Roselli Makes some crazy hard blades with their ultra high carbon steel, but you don’t see many people do it. The steel is going to get pretty brittle and chippy if you run it that hard. It could work if it’s only going to be a really light use knife. I honestly hate steels that chip and nick easily. You could sharpen a dull knife 10 times and not remove as much steel as you need to if you have to get a smallish chip in a blade. I work in the trades and carry a fixed blade on my belt every day. I’ve had knives from several high quality makers and I have never found LTWK’s to dull significantly faster than other makers blades do. I do have one fixed blade in magnacut that is treated at 63-64. It does seem to hold an edge a little longer than most of my other knives but it’s honestly not that crazy of a difference. If you use a knife alot you’re going to have to sharpen it some. I think that it’s easy to over nerd about how big of a difference some of this stuff makes for real life use.
Dude, I totally made the same mistake. I was like, this has got to be a knock-off for $95. Turns out it was just really small and not what I wanted. However, I love it, and I carry it almost every day. I like the leather sheath, but I plan on making a kydex sheath for edc. For what I do for work, I just beat up that leather sheath, and I'm afraid of losing the knife. I can't remember the name of the model I got, but it has a broomstick handle, and I can get all four of my extra large glove sized hands on the handle.
Unfair title and thumbnail to this video. L.T. WRIGHT did nothing wrong. Think before you post. It’s not a good look for you man. It was just human error.
G'day Aaron, good look'n little fella and the blade is fit for purpose, though as a replacement/alternative to a folder, a 3 finger job is a step backwards IMO. I'm sure the A2 would be fine, personally I'd be wanting a stainless. You beat me to it, as nice as the leather is, (and it is VERY nice), I'm with ya, reckon it needs kydex, (I'd go scout carry with this one, though I could see some folks going neck knife, perhaps inverted pack strap carry), but main thing is, it needs click retention ....... and a thumb push off !!!!! ....... even the simplest of Mora sheaths have that ; ) Cheers Duke. P.S. I really like the watch, everything you need and noth'n you dont ...... but since I already have a G Shock, no cigar ; ) Btw; Re; solar jobs, they are very good these days, but it still pays to consistently give it the juice, i.e. not one for occasionally bring'n out of a draw, ...... or to keep it always hiding under a sleeve for that matter. Different animal to this one, but I've been running a Casio Oceanus T200 as an EDC for several years now, (outstanding for the dough IMO), but gotta say ...... liv'n on a window sill when not in use, makes all the difference ; )

The question of eho makes the best EDC fixed blade was answered a long time ago... Ross Gammons, Dry Creek Forge L.U.K.... Everyone else is still playing catch up.
Big mistake getting started with LT because there is no going back! If the patriot is too small, try the Next Gen or Bushbaby if you can find one. LT makes the sharpest spines in the business. You can’t go wrong with his knives, especially the GNS (go no show) or the Genesis which is very different. Keep your eyes peeled for next drop, they disappear quickly.
"more rust resistant than 1095" ??? I'm sure its a great knife, but when you have to dig that deep for a compliment, you might as well be throwing shade. You want to go out with my cousin ? She's thinner than Oprah, younger than Jane Fonda, and sweeter than a wounded rattlesnake ! Sounds like a real catch, huh ?
1095 is effectively rust prone so saying more rust resistant does matter to most people who aren't simping a knife company in hopes of senpai noticing them.
@@FactFinderGeneral We have a perfectly good classification system in this country for blade steel. There is "Stainless" and "Not-Stainless". "Rust prone" !?!?!?
Wonder how a young boy getting into the woods would like that handle? I would have loved a knife that size as a child. Small hands might work well with that blade.
I have to disagree with the kydex. If it doesn't have leather as an option I usually don't buy it. Kydex is good, but I just like the feel of leather better.
@@gideonstactical I think the design of the knife is fine not everybody needs a four finger grip to use it efficiently the same also in handguns diffrent strokes for diffrent folks
I just found a Patriot at my local pawn shop for $60.00. It's in like new condition and I couldn't pass it up. I've got small hands, so I can get four fingers on the handle in a hammer grip. So far, it's performed well. I found the sheath awkward as well, so I've been carrying it as a neck knife. Thanks for the video and you thought on this knife. And hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!
Im really surprised you stooped to this type of false ad / click bait. Your channel is one of the best, no need for you to play these sorts of games. Very disappointing.
Bro he does clickbait titles all the time what are you talking about lol if your TikTok attention span would just actually watch the video instead of instantly jumping to complain about that title, there wouldn’t be a problem
yeah the mistake was buying an LTWK with their dog dhit heat treats haha , also can’t forget when they sent out a bunch of knives in A2 that tested at like 52-54 hrc or something ridiculous and then when the recipients complained to LTWK, LTWK basically said ‘fuck you there’s nothing wrong with the knives at all, either send it back and get a refund or get fucked’ not to mention their knives have bad geometry and they heat treat their magnacut to like 60 hrc or something ridiculous then made a youtube video saying that AEBL performs similar to magnacut 😂😂 yeah i bet it does when your magnacut is heat treated like dog shit

The quality is awesome, and the handles are the most ergonomic I have ever known (with the exception of perhaps a few BR knives or Reiff knives).

*As long as you've not owned literally any other knife from an American company. If which there are tons doing better for the price, especially custom makers 🤣
Ah, LT.. the knives with spines so sharp you can damn near cut paper with it!!
My recently purchased first LT Wright was the Daily Carry in aeb-l. It's got a full 4 finger grip. Also has that 90° shoulder on the grip. I also wish there was a kydex option.
Comeee on Aaron no click bait
I would not have bought the Knife if I known the true specs. So huge mistake in buying the knife in the first place. Then I tested the knife and realize that sheath set up is not to my liking and the handle is too small. So I would say mistakes all around. So would say not click bait??
Your thumbnail caption and title makes it seem like there was an issue with the knife. You clearly know that LT has a good reputation for making high quality knives and that using those descriptions would be a little sensational and likely get some clicks from people who would see it and be surprised that you got a lemon from LT.
Your actual issue was with a listing on DLT’s website. From your discription, they fixed the listing and offered to return/refund you. So it would seem that everything was made as right as it could be.
The issue that you had was nothing to do with the actual knife. And it was not that significant to the actual knife review. The actual relevance is more of general “When you buy stuff online, every now and then there is a mistake on website listings.”
Also your caption/description makes it seem like it was an LT issue. You never even mention that it was DLT. If you were not doing it for clicks, and thought that it was an issue with DLT, you would have cautioned people about DLT. But you didn’t mention DLT in the video becuase you knew that it was an honest mistake on their part and they did what was necessary to make it right.
This would be analogous to me posting a vidoe with a thumbnail that would remind people of gideons channel and adding the caption “Gideon's tactical…living a lie?”
But the video is about how there was a debate in Gideons comments sections about whether clickbait is lying. And in my video, I come down on the side that “It’s a grey area as long as you’re not blatantly defaming someone.”
Then someone complains in my comments section that the caption seems disparaging to gideon. And I respond “I didn’t say he WAS living a lie. And his video is actually what made me consider the subject of clickbait as lie….so my caption is not clickbate or defamatory. It IS a legitimate caption about something in the video.”
I had a Larry Roberts edition Genesis that was enjoyable enough to use but it required more sharpening than any A2 I've ever used because LTWK likes to run their heat treats in the low to mid 50s claiming it's for "toughness" but such thick geometry would make their stuff plenty tough in the mid 60s
@jmayville-s5z 59 is still not great by any means. No steel on this planet has any reason to be below 63. It has been proven by Steve Callari and @ericasedc
So LT’s A2 is low 50’s rockwell?!?!?
And you can run A2 inthe mids 60’s rockwell!?!?!
You have lots of “interesting” info 🤣
@@chrisp1598 it's been proven by Steve Callari and Ericas EDC that LT does super soft heat treats and both Steve and a maker Erica knows have made super high rockwell knives in the simple carbon steels that make LT's heat treat look like a sharpened aluminum can

Roselli Makes some crazy hard blades with their ultra high carbon steel, but you don’t see many people do it. The steel is going to get pretty brittle and chippy if you run it that hard. It could work if it’s only going to be a really light use knife.
I honestly hate steels that chip and nick easily. You could sharpen a dull knife 10 times and not remove as much steel as you need to if you have to get a smallish chip in a blade.
I work in the trades and carry a fixed blade on my belt every day. I’ve had knives from several high quality makers and I have never found LTWK’s to dull significantly faster than other makers blades do.
I do have one fixed blade in magnacut that is treated at 63-64. It does seem to hold an edge a little longer than most of my other knives but it’s honestly not that crazy of a difference.
If you use a knife alot you’re going to have to sharpen it some. I think that it’s easy to over nerd about how big of a difference some of this stuff makes for real life use.
I like their CampMuk.
Arron, actually wouldn’t mind seeing a Battlehorse knives Platoon Scout or similar on your channel.
Dude, I totally made the same mistake. I was like, this has got to be a knock-off for $95. Turns out it was just really small and not what I wanted. However, I love it, and I carry it almost every day. I like the leather sheath, but I plan on making a kydex sheath for edc. For what I do for work, I just beat up that leather sheath, and I'm afraid of losing the knife. I can't remember the name of the model I got, but it has a broomstick handle, and I can get all four of my extra large glove sized hands on the handle.
I too prefer 4 finger handle size even for small-bladed knives
Hello and Happy New Year Aaron. Are you aware of Zero Tolerance 0004?
Video coming soon!
Unfair title and thumbnail to this video. L.T. WRIGHT did nothing wrong.
Think before you post. It’s not a good look for you man. It was just human error.
Which was the literally the first thing he covered in the video....
@@riledupblades2227 It's called "click bait," which i fell for.
Annoying. Make to the point informative videos with no click bait and you will get more followers than doing this.
@@JoeSmith-ym5zf He's got plenty of followers lol and they're decade long loyal. Relax, Lady.
He didn't say they did you assumed that and thats not Aaron's fault
: ME AND ANOTHER DUDE(or dudette) SCREWED UP BIG TIME!
i fixed your title bub
Man, I'd love a little compact LT Wright fixie.
Can you do a follow up on the Benchmade Dacian? I got one, then saw the video where the fellow snapped the blade. It was discouraging.
I got rid of it. Sheath just killed it for me. I wouldn’t be worried about it unless you treat like a crowbar.
I don't mind a smaller blade but the 4 finger grip is preferable.
I enjoy small knives, but I like a full handle as an xl glove wearer.
I just got the LT wright patriot A2 steel bone handle for Christmas. They can be a bit hard to find in stock. I have not put it through its paces yet.
G'day Aaron, good look'n little fella and the blade is fit for purpose, though as a replacement/alternative to a folder, a 3 finger job is a step backwards IMO. I'm sure the A2 would be fine, personally I'd be wanting a stainless.
You beat me to it, as nice as the leather is, (and it is VERY nice), I'm with ya, reckon it needs kydex, (I'd go scout carry with this one, though I could see some folks going neck knife, perhaps inverted pack strap carry), but main thing is, it needs click retention ....... and a thumb push off !!!!! ....... even the simplest of Mora sheaths have that ; )
Cheers Duke.
P.S. I really like the watch, everything you need and noth'n you dont ...... but since I already have a G Shock, no cigar ; )
Btw; Re; solar jobs, they are very good these days, but it still pays to consistently give it the juice, i.e. not one for occasionally bring'n out of a draw, ...... or to keep it always hiding under a sleeve for that matter. Different animal to this one, but I've been running a Casio Oceanus T200 as an EDC for several years now, (outstanding for the dough IMO), but gotta say ...... liv'n on a window sill when not in use, makes all the difference ; )
Haven’t seen this video, but based on the thumbnail…all of the LTs I have owned were a big mistake. Always way to thick behind the edge.
You should buy a Mora Companion ❤
The problem with LTWK is that they run everything except maybe Magnacut too soft. Really a bummer, because otherwise they are solid working knives.
Speaking of watches...I have a seiko dive watch ⌚ in solar 200m and I love it I love the price of it to
Hey big fan! I’m 14 trying to start an edc and or survival kit do you have recommendations on budget gear
Welcome to the GT crew and great age to start getting into the outdoors. I’m gonna give you a survival kit list of budget items to look into.

The question of eho makes the best EDC fixed blade was answered a long time ago... Ross Gammons, Dry Creek Forge L.U.K.... Everyone else is still playing catch up.
Lt Wright knives a great knives.. glad you tried them . Join the Pout house and enjoy the inside track to customs
I'm sayn, i like the blade! It looked pretty impressive 😊
Still waiting on u to review some Dawson knives and CRK knives.
I have this little knife, love it.
Great video
How is this your first LT? I have been buying and using blind horse and Lt knives since I got into quality knives. Forget that bark river garbage.
Big mistake getting started with LT because there is no going back! If the patriot is too small, try the Next Gen or Bushbaby if you can find one. LT makes the sharpest spines in the business. You can’t go wrong with his knives, especially the GNS (go no show) or the Genesis which is very different. Keep your eyes peeled for next drop, they disappear quickly.
Kydex all the way for edc fixed blade.
"more rust resistant than 1095" ??? I'm sure its a great knife, but when you have to dig that deep for a compliment, you might as well be throwing shade. You want to go out with my cousin ? She's thinner than Oprah, younger than Jane Fonda, and sweeter than a wounded rattlesnake ! Sounds like a real catch, huh ?
Go away
she sounds like a lovely lady
1095 is effectively rust prone so saying more rust resistant does matter to most people who aren't simping a knife company in hopes of senpai noticing them.
@@FactFinderGeneral We have a perfectly good classification system in this country for blade steel. There is "Stainless" and "Not-Stainless". "Rust prone" !?!?!?
A square senate pinky lanyard will do the trick.
Hey your header is misleading !
LT didn’t blow it, & it was not a fail!!
I’m an LTWK fan boy & felt I needed to address this!
It was my mistake on the design of the Knife. But if you watch the full review, I feel like the handle is too short.
AARON. STOP BUYING LITTLE GIRLS KNIVES 😁😁😁
You should do a video on the exodus 3&4 from white river 😮
Wonder how a young boy getting into the woods would like that handle? I would have loved a knife that size as a child. Small hands might work well with that blade.
I have to disagree with the kydex. If it doesn't have leather as an option I usually don't buy it. Kydex is good, but I just like the feel of leather better.
Nice review. But nobody has any stock.
buckv 119 special belt sheath
Their website is always out of stock
DLT trading is where I got mine.
That’s where I got mine too is DLT
No Click bait please to good of Channel to start that
Did you watch the full review. Not a good design in my mind for its size.
@@gideonstactical I think the design of the knife is fine not everybody needs a four finger grip to use it efficiently the same also in handguns diffrent strokes for diffrent folks
looks like the handle is broken an a piece missing.
SERIOUS O.C.D.
I just found a Patriot at my local pawn shop for $60.00. It's in like new condition and I couldn't pass it up.
I've got small hands, so I can get four fingers on the handle in a hammer grip. So far, it's performed well.
I found the sheath awkward as well, so I've been carrying it as a neck knife. Thanks for the video and you thought on this knife. And hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!
You got a great deal!
That was dirty bro... I trust you but dang.. thought I was gonna have to dislike you there for a sec;)
Too expensive.
Im really surprised you stooped to this type of false ad / click bait. Your channel is one of the best, no need for you to play these sorts of games. Very disappointing.
Bro he does clickbait titles all the time what are you talking about lol if your TikTok attention span would just actually watch the video instead of instantly jumping to complain about that title, there wouldn’t be a problem
Did you watch the full video? Not a fan of the sheath and handle size. So my mistake was still a mistake 🤔
yeah the mistake was buying an LTWK with their dog dhit heat treats haha , also can’t forget when they sent out a bunch of knives in A2 that tested at like 52-54 hrc or something ridiculous and then when the recipients complained to LTWK, LTWK basically said ‘fuck you there’s nothing wrong with the knives at all, either send it back and get a refund or get fucked’ not to mention their knives have bad geometry and they heat treat their magnacut to like 60 hrc or something ridiculous then made a youtube video saying that AEBL performs similar to magnacut 😂😂 yeah i bet it does when your magnacut is heat treated like dog shit
You have a link to support the claims of bad heat treatments?

Wtf. Stop reviewing knives that suck. I respect you you only making a fool out of yourself.
Thanks for the share
