Out of all of my RUclips friends that have designed a Knife, yours is my favorite!!! I look forward to getting my own. You covered all bases with it. God bless. John
Great demonstration of the plaining. I love that knife.
That knife and sheath is as close to perfection as any I have seen. The size of the knife gives me confidence that it will hold up under hard use, and with quality steel it will stay sharp a long time. The 1/2" fero rod loop should be mandatory on all sheath's (LOL). Good going Will!
I just got my Sospes and I love it. I have 6 of LT's knives and this is high on my list. Helluva job Will!
Just got my SOSPES. In SABER grind from the Knife Connection in3 day very fast shipping and Dale is great. The Knife is a Home Run Great Job Will.
Was saving up to get a high end blade. This is everything I could possibly want. You hit it out of the park brother. Just perfect. First thing I do is send it to CP kydex, his sheaths are top notch.
I bought the knife to help support the channel and love this knife it is razor sharp right out of the box. I got it with the kydex sheath the first day I had it I had to test it out so processed some fire wood for my wood burning stove that I have in my yard. I wound up doing more wood then I thought the knife is built to last and be passed on. I am a leather sheath guy but talking to will he said try the kydex for this knife and I am glad I listened to him. Will thanks for the great advice and best of luck this knife is a real winner.
William Fotey awesome brother glad you like it and hope you get a life time of use out of it
Dont tell Chris but I do like yours better than the Jessmuk lol. Nice job Will
Hahaha
Me too.
I second that. I've been waiting for LT Wright to offer a "Survival Knife" instead of their normal "Bushcraft" blades ( which are all awesome btw) just not for me. This knife is gonna sell like crazy and for good reason. 1) Brillant but simple design. 2)Awesome looking handle thats not gonna fatigue your hand or give hot spots. 3) I really like the look of the dangler sheath that comes with it. I really hope that you are getting some kick backs from the sales of this blade Will cause you deserve it. Nice job!
Nice. Looks like a well done design. I especially like that it has no jimping. Just good clean lines throughout that marry well to the nicely done handle design. Definitely one I'd consider in the "custom" knife realm.
Just ordered mine 2 days ago, complete with DWX sheath, great design of this knife, I’m looking forward to getting it out in the woods.
Awesome blade, can't wait to get my sheath in the next couple days! Also, Joe is dead on the money with his memory, we did a first impressions video and I guess we were impressed since we both have first run knives!
Thanks brother
Awesome set up Brotha. Love your channel
Love the design, and honestly impressed with how well it does fine work. Though it is still a little large for my system!
Great Job Sir. Can't wait to see you next design. I like smaller fixed blades, so a companion blade will be right up my alley.
Awesome job brother! This is definitely on my wish list!
I've been trying to get a SOSPES knife for a few years now!
I guess LT is no longer making these most awesome Tarzan-type knives anymore, which is a real knife industry shame, in my opinion!
People that are hopeful of purchasing a SOSPES need to let LT know it, and maybe he'll bring this beauty back into production for his fans.
Just looking at a SOSPES knife makes me feel like knife fighting an alligator! ( I REALLY NEED A SOSPES!)
I Just bought that Knife , yes that exact knife and sheath !!! i can't wait to get it in my hand
Nice knife Will, great design.
Great job man,,, love it!
Great video of an awesome knife, Will! I love my Sospes. Definitely what I would call my main knife right now.
Thanks bro
Like this knife design a lot. Good luck with it Will. Looks I need to save up for this one.
I really like this knife can't wait to own one
great video. I love this knife. now I have to afford one. lol The sheath for it looks very well made. Nice color combination. Novel idea for a mini altoids container.
Did you invent the mini altoids attachment?
You should be proud of yourself Will. That is a great knife you designed, and with that sheath I would consider it as a "one tool option". If stranded in the woods, I would want your knife on my side.
csh 62 thanks brother
Lovely bouquet! Be well Brother!
Awesome knife, and awesome design Will. If only I could afford one right now lol. I only have one suggestion that would make it completely perfect in my opinion: thumb scallops on the handle scales.
I just prefer them when possible because they lock my thumb in place when doing reverse grips, chest levers, striking a ferro rod, and scraping bark/wood shavings. Like I said, just my opinion and my preference. Still a great looking knife!
good video Will
sweet knife chris knife is great too
I owned your sospes in scandi grind i regret letting it go but i would love to see your sospes one inch bigger in saber grind.👍🏽🇲🇽👍🏽
very nice knife
I bought one today butt I would really like to see it come out in 3v. I would buy that one too hope so soon.
How is chocking up on it?
Great knife.
Thanks for the video
This is the only knife that I have seen that I would spend the near $200.00 asking price to own.
One, it looks like a great design with the higher Scandi grind, and a great handle, two, it is a practical knife, unlike the impractical and over priced Dark Timber Grizzly recently (shamelessly) showcased on PM101, and three, it is designed by William Myers.
I trust Will, he knows what he is doing, he is not trying to become a sales and marketing guru, and does not put on airs, unlike some of the Un-Reality show, UN-Celebrity knife designers, and the Blade Show UN-Celebrity knife designers, whose names get thrown around in the same sentence as God, and the New England Patriots!
Good one Will!
nice blade mate
Hi I love that knife bro
Will- you just made my dream knife. Now I have to buy another blade :0
Love the knife. I am looking to buy my first premium blade and this is at the top of my list. 1 question, will there be any other handle options.
I do like this more than the Jessmuk, and that a great knife design too, but me been a newbie i sure be more confortable with yours design... Keep the nice work... hope see more soon...
Sweet blade brother! I enjoyed getting to handle the prototype at Big South Fork. Maybe you can showcase it at Blade next year...
Now that is a great idea if I have ever heard one!
Will what's the length of both the blade an knife ?I've got the Jessmuk and feel the need to match it with a chopper not so much Jx but more mountain man type 7-10 inch blade my Jessmuk for finest and Leg Trade knife for planning,chopping,shelter building. maybe I'm crazy but to say one knife does it all .ha I don't know I carry 3 on me when I'm able to the woods necker, scout Jessmuk, dangled Condor Matt Graham CS. I like the condor but the cs chips and that drives me crazy to worry about.
Very well done! Hope all is well! What degree is the edge at?
Just ordered one, can't wait!!!
Never had a high scandi. What do you recommend for sharpening?
Thanks Will!
any chance they will also make it in a saber grind?
Do you know if they are planning on making the leather sheath so that it covers up more of the knife? I seems like its to small :/
What kind of blade does will have on his hip? Btw looking forward to my first lt knife. Leaning towards the gary wines. you and Chris's reviews have been super helpful. Thanks fellas
how do you feel about the Pathfinder Scout I know you liked it at one point, any particular reasons as to why you have moved on from that blade?
We need the Scandinavian grind on the classic genesis 3.
Will, can you do something on diff steel
Bought one great knife. Would like to see one in CPM 3v.
Will, why did you choose not to incorporate a choke-up choil? Is there no need because of handle design, or was it just your preference not to have one?
brilliant. I agree. much nicer than Chris's . wish I could afford one. good on you. congrats
Late to the game, but I have one of these on the way. What was the companion knife you designed?
when is it coming out in 3v?
Will- definitely the best bushcraft knife package in the industry. How does it compare to Bark River similarly sized knife?
really nice design and performance! I would love to buy one to help LT and to support u but maybe when I'm older with a job they might still make them
You never know! Or there may be a newer version :-)
That's a nice knife. How tall are you Will? Just wondering about hand size, and if the handle on this knife would fit me.
Is the blade 5 inches long?
i love this knife. Really want one gotta start saving my pennies.
I know that this is an old video, but I just ordered this knife today....Hope all is well with Will.
Awesome brother hope it serves you well
You do some of the best videos. You don't just half ass and start something. You actually put some time in and make and do stuff. Great job and cool knife. What Kydex maker do you recommend? I don't really know any, the ones Chris lists seem to not do the knives I have. thx Wil
Jeremy Goldberg Zach from Tortuga hard case or copperhead outdoors with one
Awesome knife! Kinda unexpected design from you though. Still an amazing survival knife. Just from watching your past videos I would think you would have made something more small bushcrafty like the Lagom
William Myers, I bought your knife and "HELL"......!!! its the best knife I own to date, I love it bud, here in Scotland you need a decent knife, just ask Bear Grylls, lmao, he made an arse of it when he visited my neck of the woods.
And tell your pal (PM101)..... sorry bud, but I like the sospes a hell of a lot better. Keep up the good work, home run bud.
I'm this DAY new to your channel, and I saw your knife on PM101, but what does SOSPES mean/stand f or? Thanks, Wesley.
Wesley McCann safe and sound or unharmed
Hey, sweet video. I have a question for you Will, there is a knife on Amazon called the CDS Survival trapper delux. It looks really nice and is only about 100 dollars. You and Chris did a video on another knife by CDS and you guys said you liked it except for the very aggressive gimping and the large gap between the handle and the blade. I can't find a review on it ANYWHERE! I was wondering if you could check it out?
Also, forgot to mention, this knife doesn't have the features you didn't like.
nice knife man!! I would so buy one if it would be in comvex grind!! Is just my preference, if I order one can they put a convex on it?
It's a custom shop bro call in and talk to them
+William Myers MantisOutdoors thanks!!
I heard that spoiler alert. That's what I'll be looking for now.
Really love your blade, wish I could afford one. You should let Robert Ricks (Angry Jackalope) do a review on one... I am sure he would give it a good workout and honest review.
He's a good friend bro he will have one soon
Ya we all talk about you a bunch on our Friday night Jackalope Crew hangout sessions (you should join in one night), and I figured you would get one in his hands, but I wanted to say it out loud.
Congrats again getting your blade made. Now, go carve a spoon with it!!!
I really like this knife, and wish you luck with it. It's on my Christmas list.
I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but what does SOSPES mean?
Thomas Merrick safe or unharmed
Thanks!
will what neck knife are you carrying in this video
Looks like a Great Plainsman (LT Wright knife)
Yes great plainsmen
William Myers MantisOutdoors Awesome little knife. Your design is an awesome larger knife. Would like to get one at some point in the future. Nice job!
That’s a cool knife Will... where can I buy this knife??
Lt Wright handcraft knives
B E A U T I F U L ......... ONE TOOL OPTION . Gr8 setup
HOME RUN .Again I say If I buy one knife from LTWK ... THIS IS IT ...
Agreed my friend, LT really knocked it out of the park!
How do you get in touch with Zach Troutt? I tried the link and the page has expired. Just got my Sopses about three weeks ago. Awesome by the way!
Orlandoholsterco.com
Hope you enjoy your sospes
Can I request to have the blade 6 inches long?
Say Heah Will, seriously my Modde Attitude is so similar to your Sospes knife except my Drop Point is more like a Gasconade I like the Woodlore L@@K better. I really like the way my B H Modde Attitude cane out, I teamed mine with my Modde Mad Hatter Machete a lovely piece of kit, Oh, I also posted my two new unfinished knives in Google Plus your welcome to L@@K.,,. p
I'm a big blade type, but SOSPES is not a knife I'd say no to owning. BTW: you don't have to say "www..." when giving a web address, everybody knows how they start. Good video we'd like to see a bit more deep woods in camp use of your knife.
Seriously? ,200 bucks, Never mind that it cuts stuff, or has a sharpened spine etc , review WHY it cost 200 bucks.
Because people will pay it,some wont , some will
