Why a spear point

Symmetrical or near-symmetrical about the centreline, so the point sits in the middle of the blade. Strong tip, even penetration, less belly than a drop point.

What owners say

Drawn from 68 owner discussions of the LT Wright Genesis since 2024. The opinions are theirs. The specifications above come from the maker.

What owners like

Fit and finish impress on arrival: a 2024 buyer of the A2 scandi with polished micarta called the attention to detail excellent and the knife worth what it cost
A grail woods knife for one owner: after some searching they found a Larry Roberts edition in scandi grind, has already put some miles on it, and calls it perfect in every way
Missed once gone: one owner who sold their Genesis Scandi calls it a fantastic camp and bushcraft knife and thinks they need another, and a second calls their A2 Genesis their holy grail knife and misses it every day
One owner, back from their first walk about with it, called it a fun and competent little knife
LT Wright offers the same A2 blade in both a scandi and a flat grind; one owner who has the Genesis and a Brisa Kephart likes both a lot and notes the LT Wright is the wider of the two

What owners flag

The stock scalloped canvas micarta handle did not suit one owner, who called it a broom handle and reshaped the scales themselves; they admit it was not bad before, but says the knife fits their hand far better now
Availability can be a hunt: in 2024 one buyer could not find the scandi grind with micarta in stock at any online dealer, and another owner says it took searching to find the edition they wanted
Spear point only: one former owner who always missed their Genesis also always wished it had a clip point, and ended up building their own clip point knife in 1095
A2 is a tool steel, so expect patina, and the scandi version weighs 7.24 oz, about 0.7 oz more than the flat grind Genesis

The scandi Genesis is the version owners talk about as a woods and bushcraft knife. One owner tracked down a Larry Roberts edition and calls it a grail woods knife, another who sold a Genesis Scandi calls it fantastic for camp work and wants a replacement, and a third says their A2 Genesis is the knife they miss every day.

A 2024 buyer was struck by the fit, finish and detail out of the box. The handle drew one complaint: one owner disliked the stock scalloped scales enough to reshape them, etched the blade and added a 20 degree secondary bevel, and said it fit their hand much better afterwards. Finding the exact grind and handle combination can also take time; one buyer found the scandi micarta version out of stock everywhere they looked in 2024.

Shoppers weigh it against LT Wright's own GNS and Next Gen, the Brisa Kephart in 80CrV2, and the ESEE 4 and Bradford Guardian when choosing a camp knife. It suits someone who wants a refined scandi woodworking blade in A2 and does not mind a tool steel that patinas, with the flat grind version as the lighter alternative.

Should I get the Genesis in scandi or flat grind?

Both are the same 4.25 inch A2 blade with micarta scales. The scandi is the one owners describe as their woods and bushcraft knife, and the flat grind version is a little lighter at 6.53 oz against 7.24 oz. One owner who has the Genesis and a Brisa Kephart likes both.

Does the Genesis come in other steels or editions?

This page covers the A2 version. Owners also mention a Genesis in 3V, a limited edition, and a Larry Roberts edition in scandi grind, so check the steel on the listing before comparing edge holding or rust resistance.

Is the stock handle comfortable?

Only one owner in the records raised it: they found the scalloped canvas micarta scales too much like a broom handle, reshaped them, and says the fit improved a great deal, while admitting the original was not bad.
