I’ve had mine for about a year and it’s always on my belt out in the bush, I’ve lost count of all the fires I’ve made with it. Definitely one of the best looking bushcraft blades out there.
You can have optimal retention by having an adjustable lanyard passing through the belt loop, that will hold the knot on the knife lanyard, I have the same problem with the Brisa Trapper 115 and this way it's totally safe
It’s about time I saw another review on this knife.. I love my knife, but my biggest fear is like he said it coming out of the sheath and losing it on the trail
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Exactly what I had going in my mind too but didn't say it. LOL. They have kydex sheaths for sale for it but do you know if they work any better for retention?
@@AlaskanFrontier1 One guy who has the Blind Horse Boat Tail knife used waxed sewing line to wrap the front end of knife handle and said it worked for knife retention in sheath.
I supplement your comments. 1. there are a number of quality, small Scandinavian knife makers. 2. the market is small. 3. rural/farm kids carry knives and use them. 4. contrary to marketing hype, if you have skills, you don't waste survival time/energy chopping logs or shaving hair on your arm - you make a fire with dried twigs and keep buttoned up. 5. the recommended knife is fine. Mora knives are fine. 6. the cat's meow for me is the Peltonen. Finnish officer sent from a snowy country to the Sinai desert enhanced the basic puuko design and transformed it into a survival/combat knife issued to his army and that of Estonia. I have two units. Kellam also produces them under license. 7. the problem with the recommended knife is the same with all knives. A knife has to go with a sheath that works for YOU. Example. You don't store a knife in a leather sheath as a rule of thumb. Definitely don't do it with a sword. Well, I have Wakazashi and Katana and designed wooden sheaths that I want to do optionally across the back or on a belt carry. So, I have to think and think about the suspension system now that the sheaths are done. Now, I want to take a Peltonen combat knife and experiment seeing if I can't make a Spec-Ops sheath work with it because the issue sheath doesn't work for me. With the youtuber's favorite survival knife, I would pick out a short Spec-ops sheath (which can be modified in the interior) and see if it worked.
Never tried yours. Did have a feather stick challenge today...Bark River Puukko was #1. BR Aurora #2 followed by my LT Wright GNS. Forgot my Bushcrafter... next time.
Great versatile blade! LT Wright does their blades right O1 tool Steal easy to touch up in the field and takes a razor edge A quality Puukko and excellent addition to round out your bushcraft collection. Even if just utilized on its own. To the novices, just be mindful that these knives with the traditional style handles were draw cut blades The push cut takes spending more time with the knife so as not to cut yourself Tips are also more delicate so they are not to be beat up on But they will do everything a knife is supposed to in the field I know professional bush crafters who will only carry this style blade Great video! ✌️
I give a further report. 1. Your choice of knife has to be individual to YOU. I took my own advice and tested my Peltenon knife against over 1/2 knives/sheaths in inventory. The Cold Steel SRK had the same blade length, same overall dimensions. The blade on the Peltenon was thinner and the handle cut slightly different. As a result, the Finn knife felt better in my hand and unfortunately the restraining strap length was about 1/16 inch too short or I would have ordered the better sheath. I eventually, I learned that the current, horribly ugly Ontario sheath was much better than my factory sheath. So, the knife has a new home and will not fall out. 2. If you have only one vehicle, no dependents and your knife is always going to be on your person or within 100 yards, go with the recommendation by the youtuber and make sure you have a sheath that works for your form of carry or accept that you will have two sheaths. 3. If you have other situations where you cannot have the "best" knife with you at all times, start with the low end Moras. Cover every situation so one will be available. Experiment in modifying the factory sheaths. Work on making sure that YOU and your family members gain the skills needed. and then add to your collection.
Exceptional knife! Love the Lagom! Ben’s Backwoods is actually taking another pre-order for the Lagom right now. Hoping he runs another pre-order on the Kamrat, and maybe (fingers crossed) if the stars ever align again, the Leuku. 😂
Cohutta knives, a respected custom maker online, has a couple blades that are kinda similar to this one. His brayfield, essential (which he has a few different varieties of) and spud are the 3 models I’m thinking of. He can do it in scandi or saber and uses a variety of steels. Worth checking out if you’re sold on this or a similar pattern but can’t get your hands on the lt

I have the L.T Wright HolyBushman Version 1 not Version 2, reminds me a lot of the lagom .
I have a woodbear karhu with orange G10 scales that I am very sold on, it's very similar to your LT Wright.

Thanks for the tip
That is the exact way I secure my knives that don’t feel secure in a leather sheath including my Lagom. 👍🔥

Yea that is very true
Nice. I am lucky to have been gifted a Norwegian Sami knife. Looks similar to that only slightly smaller 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
I bought the last one in orange G10 today from Ben's Backwoods. Thanks for your review. The price went up on them. I paid $224.98.
Bidenomics

I like most of your points. Well said

Ben's backwoods is taking preorder right now. I just picked up a brown handle one and a kydex.
That’s awesome
Check out the Woodbear Nordic bear awesome had mine for 3 years

Still like the battlelore?
Sold it
It is an incredibly hard knife to get ahold of.
It really is
@Tracy81258, if you don’t have one and want the opportunity, Ben’s Backwoods is currently doing another Lagom pre-order. Fantastic knife! 👍
Buy a puukko sheath
What do you think about the 3v srk
Much love
👍👍👍
Thanks
