I’ve had the Genesis with Scandi grind now for just over three years, and it’s fantastic. I chipped the blade near the tip on mine very shortly after I got it, and was able to get it back in order with a synthetic whetstone (and a lot of patience). It’s my go to for most cutting and carving tasks. It’s only competitor in my collection is my Kabar BK7, which I use for hacking and some batoning. But, for its light weight, simple design, and drop dead gorgeous sheath, this knife truly is the edged companion of a lifetime.
That's the thickest blade stock you can go for a scandi if you want a good bushcraft knife. There is a reason the best bushcraft knives out there (Mora,LT Wright,Rob Evans MK tribute knife etc) all come with around 3mm blade stock scandi grinds. Scandis suck if the blade is thick, no matter what edge angle they come with. I wouldn't consider anything esle a "Bushcraft" knife,other grinds and thicker blades, can be considered "Survival" knives, which is the exact opposite of Bushcraft.
I have a very large collection of knives and love this plain A2 aa lot. Great camp knife.
Cant go wrong with any LT Wright! A2 is bad ass!
I am loving this thing
I have Genesis full flat grind in A2 with Desert Ironwood handle. 🔥 Top quality. 🔥👍

Did it chip with regular use ?
A2 steel is quality steel. It has been and continues to be a a well regarded steel. NICE BLADE. ENJOY GREAT INVESTMENT.

Those are Loveless bolts. 👌🏻
It's a Kephart design.
Thanks for the review HST. How would you compare this knife to the Reiff F4 Scandi?
@daniboi79 this blade profile I lime more because it's thinner. But the reiff handle is more comfortable
Sweet knife. I'm a big fan of JRE Industries sheaths. Good stuff brotther.
Yea man beautiful sheath thanks alot
