The **LT Wright Bushcrafter HC** is an excellent bushcraft knife, made in the United States. Some of the highlights of this model are the excellent performances in the field, a great price-quality ratio and simple maintenance. In terms of shapes it is a little like the archetypical bushcraft knife: simple but good. The handle looks simple, and it is. After all, simple works. You have enough grip over this ‘broomstick’ handle no matter how you hold it. Whether you are notching, feathersticking or cooking.
LT Wright enhanced the blade with a special, etched patina. This patina is applied in two steps to temper the first, intense discolouration on the 1075 carbon steel. In time the patina will wear, change and discolour. It evolves and will show you the traces of use. As such each knife is unique.
## 1075 carbon steel blade
1075 is a tough, strong type of steel that is easy to sharpen. Even when you are out in the field with limited means. Do, however, be careful: 1075 is not completely stainless. As such it will discolour in time and form a patina. To avoid rust you need to clean it after use and occasionally add a couple drops of oil.
The comfortable handle is made from micarta. A strong and light-weight material, made from linen and synthetic resin. Feels comfortable in hand, even in wet or cold circumstances.
This knife comes with a top-quality leather sheath.
## About LT Wright Knives
LT Wright Knives is an American outdoor brand. At LT Wright Knives they still largely work in an old-fashioned way. By hand ‘grinds’ or ‘bevels’ are added to the blades, the handles are glued together and shaped, and even the entire knife is finished by hand. This means that there can be subtle differences between the different versions of the same knife. Both in terms of finish and size. This is also the charm of LT Wright Handcrafted Knives: each knife is unique. It also means that sometimes it is difficult to keep all knives in stock. But the models that are labelled as ‘in stock’ on our website, are in stock and can immediately be delivered.
