First Production of the LT Wright Forest Trail, in CPM MagnaCut Steel
The highly sought-after L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives Forest Trail is a premium knife crafted for discerning users who appreciate quality. Having been on the market for some time, it continues to receive rave reviews from satisfied customers.
Dale Stoops (1959-2021), founder of The Knife Connection, partnered with L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives to introduce the handmade version of this popular design. Each hand made Forest Trail knife is expertly crafted in Ohio by L.T. Wright, using premium materials, while a production version of the Forest Trail is produced through alternative manufacturing channels.
Dale aimed to create a durable, medium-sized knife suitable for bushcraft tasks like batoning, shelter building, and small delimbing. He also wanted it to be versatile enough for general field use, including large game dressing and skinning. The blade features a long, narrow point near the centerline, making it ideal for drilling and delicate tasks, while still offering enough belly for slicing and skinning. The square spine is sharpened for use with a firesteel and for scraping, and the plunge line's placement near the front of the handle enhances blade control.
A key design goal was to develop one of the most comfortable and versatile handles available, and we believe we’ve succeeded. The handle offers a secure and comfortable grip in various hold positions.
Whether you're breaking down a moose carcass in the Northwest Territories, constructing a survival shelter in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or cutting netting during a military mission, the dependable Forest Trail knife will perform quickly, comfortably, and efficiently.
This heavy-duty knife features a precisely ground blade and handle scales secured with two-ton epoxy and three bolts, ensuring years of reliable use. A lanyard tube is also included in the design.
Finally, it comes with a robust leather dangler belt sheath that includes a firesteel loop. The dangler can be removed for a higher carry position if preferred.
