You know what? Your channel is sooooo underrated!! I love the content! It's really a legit bushcraft channel unlike others that claim to be bushcrafters and yet they probably doesn't even know how to make and use a bowdrill
I am very happy to hear that you ordered one, my friend! I am very flattered that I could be of some assistance and do this knife justice in my videos. All I wanted to do in the videos was convey just how awesome this knife is. I don't blame you for staring, as I still just sit and stare at mine. The handle is so great and the 01 tool steel and Scandi grind are absolutely outstanding. When is it due to arrive? Please let me know your initial thoughts as soon as you get it! -Dave
Thanks for the reply! I should see it any day now. I'll let you know my thoughts after I go on a solo camping trip in a couple of weeks. Cheers from Ontario. - Mike
Love your channel. I purchased both the lagom and the council woodcraft axe off your reviews. Thanks! And don’t take this the wrong way, you remind me of Mr Rogers in the woods! Very calm and pleasant. Love the channel.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words! I am happy that I could help! Hahaha...I don't take it the wrong way, at all! It's great to have you here, my friend! -Dave
Thank you, Bill! I really enjoy the fact that you take the time to watch and leave such nice comments! Great to hear from you, Bill, and I hope the family is doing well, my friend! -Dave
Thank you for watching both times, my friend! I really appreciate the kind words! I would consider myself "decent at best" with the bow drill set..haha! Many more failures than successes but I try to not let the pieces of wood defeat me. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you! -Dave
I agree about making a bow drill set to test a knife as it hits most of the major knife woodcraft jobs. The knife looks great. I was checking into it so was glad to find this video in my search. Thumbs up!
Yes, sir! Even though my bow drill sets aren't successful most of the time (lol), they are an excellent way to test all aspects of a knife! I love making them! You would absolutely love this knife, my friend! My absolute favorite! Nice to hear from you, brother ! -Dave
Thank you for watching, Michael! Its harder to give up when you've succeeded many times before with the exact same type of wood. I was getting too frustrated to give up, plus, I just love using the Lagom..haha! -Dave
Dave, my friend, that was a great review. I love how you stuck with your bow drill into you got it. I see the leaves are just barely coming out up there. Here you can't even see through the forest it's all leafed out. God bless you. John
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very kind comment, John! Slowly but surely spring is arriving here..haha! The difference in regions is very interesting! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
I now understand how much you like the Lagom. I really like mine. I acquired an Orange G10 handled Lagom from Lester River Bushcraft about three months ago and it's one of my favorites....
That is great to hear, Dominick, and the Orange G10 handles are very attractive! I cannot say enough good things about the knife! Absolute excellence! Keep me posted on how you are liking it, my friend! -Dave
Happy Birthday, Ken! I hope you had a great day, my friend! You gifted yourself my absolute favorite knife and I think you are going to love it! Thank you for taking the time to stop by on your birthday and please let me know your initial impressions when you receive your Lagom! Congratulations on your purchase! -Dave
The Lagom knife is out of my reach but the blade shape isn't, I picked up a Cold Steel Finn Hawk for $19 on Amazon and its the poor mans Lagom. I've been using it everyday for a month or so, I gotta say its a must have for anyone who enjoys Mora's. I would love to see you try one out Dave, I think you would really like how it carves.
Airik1111 Thanks for sharing. Newbie here. Been watching this channel and and attempting to learn how to strike a fire with feather stick or shavings. Having a hard time with just my hatchet. After a few videos here, realized I need a decent knife. The Finn Hawk looks just right for me. Will also be buying the Council Tool Boys axe seen on this channel. My first purchase was the Hardcore Hammers Supernaturalist hatchet. Felt a little silly afterward paying that much, though I do really like it. Trying to keep further tool purchases on the higher value for dollar side. Thanks again for sharing your high value find. 👍
Good demonstration of how nice that knife can be used for a multitude of tasks. It doesn't look that beautiful but what I'm learning from you is the performance of a blade is all important. Thank you showing these things, the knife and bow drill efforts.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, John! I really appreciate that, my friend! You just cannot beat good blade performance! -Dave
Hello friend🙂 I saved up the money and they are setting a green micarta one aside for me when they restock😀🎉🎉🎉🎉 my uncle got the camp muk. The fit and finish on these LT Wright knives make the handles feel like smooth river stone.
That is great to hear, my friend! You are going to love the Lagom! I completely agree about LT Wright Knife handles - just right! How does your uncle like his Camp Muk? -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love He loves it! It is the closest to the design from what I have seen out there. Only a picture to go off of though lol. It's surprising small. It fits the hand perfect though. A2 steel💪🏻. The handle seems like it would be awkward but you once you put pressure on it you can get a lot of power. The only thing I didn't like is full flat grind. That is preference though. I like scandi. How do you keep your Lagom so clean? I live in coastal marsh lands so any tips to keep that O1 from rusting would be great! Sorry for the novel😂 Joe
Thank you very much HighCarbonSteel Love for the time and effort you put into your video's. I took the time to go over your Lagom bush knife videos, and it helped a lot. on the sizing of the knife without touching the knife the best someone could. I ended up going with a orange handled G-10 one because I never want to lose this one if it gets miss placed. It is on the way right now and I am looking forward to having the little work horse in my line up of daily using knives. Cheers Matt
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and leave your very nice, encouraging comment, Matt! I really appreciate that, my friend! I am very happy to hear that I could help with the Lagom. The Lagom with the orange G-10 is beautiful! Have you received it yet? I would like to hear all about your initial thought and how much you love it! Keep me posted, brother! -Dave
Very nice video man. I really appreciate the fact that you aren't another "Vlog bushcraft" channel. When you're talking, you stick to the subject matter, its very refreshing. Cheers! - S.Wheatley
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving your awesome comment! I mainly don't want to bore anyone with my meaningless "VLOG" material..haha! Sticking with subject matter works best for me, IMHO. Very nice to hear from you and please don't be a stranger! -Dave
I had a feeling that you would love it, my friend! Please keep me posted on how you are liking it! Years later, I still cannot find a knife that I like better! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very kind, encouraging comment, my friends! I love your work, your company and all of the very nice people involved! -Dave
Haha..thank you for the kind words, Dano! You are exactly right..what matters most is that they work, regardless of how they look! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! Great to hear form you, my friend! -Dave
You were 100% right that it's anice knife.i just got mine an can't wait to get out an use it.btw awesome channel an videos.your the ever day common man channel.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! Keep me posted on how you are liking this knife. Years later, I still cannot get enough of it..haha! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, Garry! I appreciate the kind words, my friend and it's great to hear from you! -Dave
Haha! Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment, mister smith! If I keep showing it, you may just have to buy one! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
Great video friend. Excellent knife and almost it's really nice. Good size for bushcraft and it works perfectly. It really like me. Thanks for your time.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave leave your nice comment! You are exactly right about this knife! Very good size for bushcraft tasks! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, Gene! Glad to hear that you love the Lagom! Such an excellent knife and it continues to be my absolute favorite! There is a new Kamrat knife by LTWK that is like a little brother to the Lagom. -Dave
Very much so, my friend! An outstanding knife for it's size! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! Always great to hear from you! -Dave
Yes, bow drill set construction is an excellent way to get the feel for a knife! Thank you for the kind words and I hope to talk with you again soon, my friend! -Dave
Thanks for the video, Dave! I finally was able to order a Lagom! It was sold out for awhile but I guess they come in batches. This gonna be my upgrade knife from a Mora HighQ Robust! Your video on it pretty much sold me... And also cause it's a Mors Kochanski type knife! I saw a picture somewhere online of Mors sitting by a table with his favorite knives on it... The Lagom is one of those knives on that table! Thanks, again! I love your channel!
Thank you for taking the time to watch 3 of my videos, to sub and to leave your very nice comment, my friend! I really appreciate the encouraging words and it's great to have you here! Please don't be a stranger! -Dave
Nice review Dave. I'm not sure if knife companies realize it, but people like you sell knives for them. After seeing this well done video, I am considering this knife for my collection. Thanks
Very nice knife, i've only heard good things about it. The handle shape looks similar to my old red, wood handled mora. Not too fancy, but comfortable no matter how you hold it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! The Mora classics have always been some of my absolute favorite knives, which is why I love this one so much. The Lagom is beautiful, heavier duty and made in the USA by the great people of LT Wright Handcrafted knives! A tremendous upgrade! -Dave
Thank you for the kind, encouraging words, Kevin! I really appreciate that, my friend! No giving up now, brother, as we are all on this journey together and it's great to have you here! -Dave
I've got the Kephart knife as well but it isn't as easy to sharpen as the Bushlore. Thinking of buying the swamp romper knife next. Keep up the good work Sir.
I love the Condor Kephart! Excellent knife and great broom stick handle! I get about the same edge with both the Bushlore and Kephart, however, the FFG on Kephart takes an edge really well. Not familiar with the Swamp Romper, though. Appreciate you stopping by, David! -Dave
Say Heah Dave, I know the Lagoon is a great knife, because it's blade profile is similar to my 3V Skookum Bush Tool which is still one of my ALL time Fav's. I know LT makes great knives. Infact I have his GNS in 3V with the Coyote Black Mountain Handle, and he made my vintage Blind Horse Bushcrafter which I had the handle polished and made Flat with just the radious corners, Infact it looks like a High End Kephart, A Lil'tank. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
Thank you for your review I've been considering this knife or the Kamrat but also something worth giving a shot but on your bowdrill fire it looked like you was pressing down really hard next time try not pressing as hard and letting it glide more it seems to work better for me personally the shavings it produces just seem a little bit more fine
Thank you for watching, my friend! Both are great knives but I really like the more sleek Kamrat, as of late. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and providing your input! -Dave
Hello Dave. I just got an email back from Jason at Lester River Bushcraft and I will get mine in September. Looking foward to it. Thanks for giving such a great review of this knife. Take care.
Thank you for the kind words, Nick! I completely understand...higher end gear definitely takes me a while to save for and my limited budget takes a hit every time...haha! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! I think you would love this knife and hopefully, Bens Backwoods or Lester River Bushcraft can ship to Sweden. Those are the 2 exclusive sellers of this beautiful knife. -Dave
This knife is the only one that i have regrets about selling. Just felt perfect in the hand, and a very usable size. Im not a huge outdoors person though, and made the decision to just put the mora garberg into our go bags. Its a very capable knife, but definitley doesnt have the warmth and character of the lagom. I just “use” the garberg, but i really “enjoyed” the lagom
I would really miss this knife, as well. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave such and awesome description of the Lagom. Warmth and character is very accurate! Maybe some day you will be able to pick one up, my friend. I couldn't live without it..haha! -Dave
Dave,any chance of you showing how to make a try stick? I made my own one with the Bushlore. I don't think enough people know about them but it is great practice for honeing your knife skills.( sorry no pun intended ) 😁
I've done some "mini" tri-sticks in previous videos (one video with the Kephart and one with the Woodlaw, I believe) but they never get old to make. Very fun! Thank you for the awesome comment, my friend! -Dave
Hey Dave , thanks again for another great vid 👍🏻 ! It looks like the forest is starting to come to life again 😄 , spring and fall are my two favorite seasons to be in the outdoors ! Awesome knife , LT Wright makes great blades I have a few of his designs , the Genisis , GNS , and the Patriot ! I like this knife you reviewed and have been considering on purchasing it but once again I'm stuck on the Lagoom or the Spyderco bushcrafter ? I almost pulled the trigger on the Spyderco but had saw your previous video on the Lagoom and I'm familiar with LT's work and his scandi grinds . In your opinion which blade do you like using for bushcraft for longer periods of time , the Lagoom or the Spyderco BC ? By the way I'm still in the process of getting my equipment to start my own TH-cam Chanel , time & money are the two obstacles in my path but I digress lol😝! Thanks again my friend , best regards 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Brandon. Both are great, comfortable knives. I guess it all depends on handle preference. The Spyderco's G10, contoured handle is very comfortable for long periods of time, I just like the feeling of the Lagom's micarta, oval shaped handle. Good luck on starting your channel, my friend! -Dave
I am very curious about it, however, I am not in the market for a new knife right now. Also, the size, thickness and design of the Lagom is perfect for me, so I don't really NEED it's little brother. But, you never know was the future may hold. Thank you for taking the time to watch, my friend! -Dave
Hmmm, interesting question. 2 different knives so its hard to say 'better', but I do use this one more. While the Spyderco is very comfortable, I like the feeling of this handle in my hand. The swell and the micarta feel great. I also like the bit shorter blade with the continuous curve on this one. It also doesn't hurt that this is an LT Wright handcrafted knife made right here in the USA! Thank you for stopping by, my friend! -Dave
Hi Dave. Just got my Lagom today. Feels great in the hand and preliminary messing around in the garage seems it will be great. Have to work all weekend but hoping to get out Monday or Tuesday to use it more. Did your micarta scales darken over use? Thank you
That is great to hear, my friend! I completely agree - it does feel great in the hand! Definitely keep me posted after your Monday or Tuesday outing and I am sure you are going to love it even more. Yes, the micarta did darken a bit, but not much. Gives is even more character! I appreciate you stopping by and providing your update! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love As suspected. Ventured out in the canoe. Found a nice bank and hiked into the woodland for an extended day camp. Really enjoyed the Lagom. Enjoying your videos. Hopefully this spring/ summer, I will get my channel up and running! Cheers!
Thanks for your reviews! Im deciding between the lagom and woodlaw. If the handle wasnt a factor how would you compare cutting performance, especially feathersticking between the two?
Thank you for taking the time to stop by! My Lagom is a scandi, while my Woodlaw is a saber grind (purchased and modified by baryonyxknife.com). I think they are both excellent for tasks like feather sticks. I am not sure how the Woodlaw factory edge comes, but Benjamin did an excellent job with the grind on mine. If I had to choose, I would say that the little extra money for 01 tool steel, USA made, outstanding handle and scandi grind are worth the extra cake for the Lagom. The Lagom also has a little brother, the LTWK Kamrat, available at bensbackwoods.com that may be a tad less expensive. -Dave
Say Heah Dave, I wish you a safe Holiday. I totally approve the Lagum. Further more I could understand why. I experience that same with my similar 3V Skookum Bush Tool. Yeah, Infact mine came out with a continues curve edge belly and Lemme tell you, for that its a exceptional great carver/slicer. I embedded that I'm my brain. "That Curved Edge Bellies Do Great" (I wonder how C E D G musically sounds) heh heh heh. Anyhow I sort of L@@K for these characteristics when I buy knives to Bush Craft. But I got extremely lucky when I teamed my Fox Jungle Parang with my Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter which I originally bought to team it with my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife which the two really are similar, But do have suttle difference. One being the Sheath and Attachments are in the O.D.Green. So when the Jungle Parang came and it was all black, It just color match, so I teamed it with my 3V Master Hunter right away. Over this Holiday Weekend I took my new set out. I brought my Fox Jungle Parang with my 3V Master Hunter and my BK-24 with scales as my neck knife. I also added my Wicked Tough Saw because I'm still figuring out how to setup my new Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw. Infact I also bought the EZ KUT WoW Folding Saw Yup that's what its called, The "WoW Saw". Anyhow the curved edge bellies on both knives, even though the Jungle Parang is a little over 7". Bit with removing alot of metal to make a very thin apex edge, makes it a bitter. It's not that heavy so its not a power chopper, but very sufficient to chop moderate stuff. But I can also feather with it, The 3V Master Hunter is more task specific for my finer tasks. Believe it or not, my 3V Master Hunter almost has as thin if not thinner edge apex. Yeah, Dave you heard me say this before. But this here set. Is proving itself as a Fav. of mine real fast. I could imagine when I figure how to put together my Agawa 21 Boreal because it comes in a very nice scabbard, and its called the Crazy Horse Leather Sheath, it also come with a shoulder sling. Yeah, its very nice. Yeah, The Fox Jungle Parang with my 3V Master Hunter, Oh, which has a distal rapper, my BK-14 and my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw will be seeing alot of use in this upc'min season.,,.
Oh, I ordered my EZ KUT Folding Saw, and I just got my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal, Dave, Honest. Get one. It's a good one. Easy Peasy Nice and Easy to put together. But it cuts great. Infact I took it out today. I also took my Fox Jungle Parang and not to confuse it with a Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife. But they L@@K very similar. I like the length on the Jungle Parang and the tip. Oh and that it also comes in all black so its a near perfect color match with my 3V Master Hunter. Yeah, the blade geometry on the 3V is alot different than the San Mai 3 Master Hunter. But I like both of them too. The S.M. 3 teams with my Cold Steel Kukuri Plus in O1, and the 3V M H teams with my Fox Parang. I'm really liking that set. Oh, I also added my BK-14 with slabs as a neck knife and my Agawa.,,.
Tough question, my friend! Ideally, I would grab both but if i HAD to choose, I would go with the Lagom. I like the shorter blade with the continuous curve just a bit more. Plus, it may sound weird, but I also like the fact that the Lagom was made just a few states away from me. There is something to be said about a USA made knife by people who I communicate with and am able to watch perform their magic. That being said, there is nothing wrong with the Spyderco, at all! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome question! -Dave
Oh, Dave, Althought its not like my 3V Skookum Bush Tool or your and or our Lagum. What I'm trying to say, the C.S. 3V Master Hunter cuts similar to our knives. Infact mine measures 4 5/8" or very close to that. But the 3V and not the San Mai 3 Version which is a little thicker and not distal. But, yeah, it has a very thin edge apex. Yeah, I really like it and with my new 7.3" blade also a tin edge Fox Jungle Parang. The two knives go together like soup and sandwich. That's it.,,.
The Lagom Bush Knife just feels right in the hand. An excellent blade.
I carry and carve with a L.T. Wright Boattail. Absolutely adore it. It is relatively similar to your Lagom.
You know what? Your channel is sooooo underrated!! I love the content! It's really a legit bushcraft channel unlike others that claim to be bushcrafters and yet they probably doesn't even know how to make and use a bowdrill
I just ordered mine 19 minutes ago after a year of staring at it, researching online and watching videos. Especially yours. Thank you.
I am very happy to hear that you ordered one, my friend! I am very flattered that I could be of some assistance and do this knife justice in my videos. All I wanted to do in the videos was convey just how awesome this knife is. I don't blame you for staring, as I still just sit and stare at mine.

Dave this is the second time I'm watching
Your awesome at the bow drill set. I give up after 1 try and a half hour
Great inspiration for me
Thank you for watching both times, my friend! I really appreciate the kind words! I would consider myself "decent at best" with the bow drill set..haha! Many more failures than successes but I try to not let the pieces of wood defeat me. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you! -Dave

That's a survivor mentality, never give up.
Thank you for watching, Michael! Its harder to give up when you've succeeded many times before with the exact same type of wood. I was getting too frustrated to give up, plus, I just love using the Lagom..haha! -Dave
I just ordered one and it arrived. Great knife.
That is awesome, Gene! What do you think of it? I loved it the moment I held it in my hand! Thank you for watching, my friend! -Dave
Dave, my friend, that was a great review. I love how you stuck with your bow drill into you got it. I see the leaves are just barely coming out up there. Here you can't even see through the forest it's all leafed out. God bless you. John

Nice sweater
Great video! Thx
The Lagom knife is out of my reach but the blade shape isn't, I picked up a Cold Steel Finn Hawk for $19 on Amazon and its the poor mans Lagom. I've been using it everyday for a month or so, I gotta say its a must have for anyone who enjoys Mora's. I would love to see you try one out Dave, I think you would really like how it carves.
The Cold Steel is definitely a handsome knife! I will look into it someday! Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave

Good job on making that fire. You hung in there. Great job, and great knife and sheath. I have one now and love it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, Gene! Glad to hear that you love the Lagom! Such an excellent knife and it continues to be my absolute favorite! There is a new Kamrat knife by LTWK that is like a little brother to the Lagom. -Dave

Very much so, my friend! An outstanding knife for it's size! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment! Always great to hear from you! -Dave
love the knife but my favourite is still the Condor Bushlore.
Nothing wrong with the Bushlore, my friend! Thank you for watching! -Dave
Awesome, the bow drill is one of my first test with a knife. Almost never see anyone do that. Great video.
Yes, bow drill set construction is an excellent way to get the feel for a knife! Thank you for the kind words and I hope to talk with you again soon, my friend! -Dave
Shes a beaut Dave
Thanks again!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! You are exactly right! -Dave
Thanks for the video, Dave! I finally was able to order a Lagom! It was sold out for awhile but I guess they come in batches. This gonna be my upgrade knife from a Mora HighQ Robust! Your video on it pretty much sold me... And also cause it's a Mors Kochanski type knife! I saw a picture somewhere online of Mors sitting by a table with his favorite knives on it... The Lagom is one of those knives on that table! Thanks, again! I love your channel!
Watched three of your vids today and subscribed. Thank you - and please keep it up! Nice detail and "why" you like certain things.
Thank you for taking the time to watch 3 of my videos, to sub and to leave your very nice comment, my friend! I really appreciate the encouraging words and it's great to have you here! Please don't be a stranger! -Dave
Nice review Dave. I'm not sure if knife companies realize it, but people like you sell knives for them. After seeing this well done video, I am considering this knife for my collection. Thanks
Thank you for the very kind, encouraging words, my friend! I really appreciate that! I think you would love this knife! My absolute favorite! -Dave
Great update dave! i just picked up a used one a couple weeks ago and and am lovin it.
Thank you, very much, for the kind words! I really appreciate that! That is awesome that you picked up one used! Green micarta, as well? -Dave
Another outstanding video. Gracias
Thank you for the kind words, Carlos! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
still love that knife!
Thank you for watching, my friend! Great to hear from you and I hope everything is going well! -Dave
nicely done
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words! I really appreciate that, my friend! -Dave
Very nice knife, i've only heard good things about it. The handle shape looks similar to my old red, wood handled mora. Not too fancy, but comfortable no matter how you hold it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! The Mora classics have always been some of my absolute favorite knives, which is why I love this one so much. The Lagom is beautiful, heavier duty and made in the USA by the great people of LT Wright Handcrafted knives! A tremendous upgrade! -Dave
That's a good looking knife.
Thank you, Nathan! I appreciate you stopping by, my friend! -Dave
Great video Dave. You should have a lot more subscribers, don't give up!
Thank you for the kind, encouraging words, Kevin! I really appreciate that, my friend! No giving up now, brother, as we are all on this journey together and it's great to have you here! -Dave
I've got the Kephart knife as well but it isn't as easy to sharpen as the Bushlore. Thinking of buying the swamp romper knife next. Keep up the good work Sir.
I love the Condor Kephart! Excellent knife and great broom stick handle! I get about the same edge with both the Bushlore and Kephart, however, the FFG on Kephart takes an edge really well. Not familiar with the Swamp Romper, though. Appreciate you stopping by, David! -Dave
love that knife
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, phyllis! Very nice to hear from you! Its an easy knife to fall in love with! -Dave
Nice video sir. I have one too ! Really love mine as well
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, sir! There is a lot to love about the Lagom, my friend! -Dave
I like your presentation... why? the knife is used... not a collection knife. Love your channel!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice, encouraging comment, William! It's great to have you here, my friend! -Dave
Say Heah Dave, I know the Lagoon is a great knife, because it's blade profile is similar to my 3V Skookum Bush Tool which is still one of my ALL time Fav's. I know LT makes great knives. Infact I have his GNS in 3V with the Coyote Black Mountain Handle, and he made my vintage Blind Horse Bushcrafter which I had the handle polished and made Flat with just the radious corners, Infact it looks like a High End Kephart, A Lil'tank. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
You are right, this is an excellent knife! Sounds like an excellent vintage BH Bushcrafter you have! -Dave
Great stuff brother! Way to fight through! Great knife as well...
Thank you, brother! I appreciate the kind, encouraging words and I consider myself lucky to have your support, my friend! -Dave
Thank you for your review I've been considering this knife or the Kamrat but also something worth giving a shot but on your bowdrill fire it looked like you was pressing down really hard next time try not pressing as hard and letting it glide more it seems to work better for me personally the shavings it produces just seem a little bit more fine
Thank you for watching, my friend! Both are great knives but I really like the more sleek Kamrat, as of late. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and providing your input! -Dave
Great video Dave 👍🏿
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by! Great to hear from you! -Dave
Great video!
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate the kind words! -Dave
Beautiful :-)
Thank you for watching, Florian! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave
Hello Dave. I just got an email back from Jason at Lester River Bushcraft and I will get mine in September. Looking foward to it. Thanks for giving such a great review of this knife. Take care.
Thats great to hear Jeff! You are going to love it! Thank you for the kind words and keep me posted ,my friend! -Dave
Lagom means "Just enough" in Swedish. It's pronounced with a long Aa.
Awesome video. I would love to be able to afford one. I am not saying they are not worth the price or they're overpriced, just isn't in the budget.
Thank you for the kind words, Nick! I completely understand...higher end gear definitely takes me a while to save for and my limited budget takes a hit every time...haha! Great to hear from you, my friend! -Dave
Thanks for great vid. I want that knife. Lagom in swedish is ”just right”. However I can not yet get this knife in Sweden.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! I think you would love this knife and hopefully, Bens Backwoods or Lester River Bushcraft can ship to Sweden. Those are the 2 exclusive sellers of this beautiful knife. -Dave
This knife is the only one that i have regrets about selling. Just felt perfect in the hand, and a very usable size. Im not a huge outdoors person though, and made the decision to just put the mora garberg into our go bags. Its a very capable knife, but definitley doesnt have the warmth and character of the lagom. I just “use” the garberg, but i really “enjoyed” the lagom
I would really miss this knife, as well. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave such and awesome description of the Lagom. Warmth and character is very accurate! Maybe some day you will be able to pick one up, my friend. I couldn't live without it..haha! -Dave
Fisheye bolts? Think you mean Loveless bolts maybe? Great quality bushcraft knife!
Haha..LT Wright refers to them as "large fisheye bolts". Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave
I wonder which micarta has the best feel in the hand. I see you carry the green. Any particular reason?
good deal !
Thank you, brother! -Dave
thx for the vid! Mora Classic i still use and stumble on this knife. How is rust holding on that steel and you still use it?
That handle looks like it would be about as comfortable as a knife handle could get.
Dave,any chance of you showing how to make a try stick? I made my own one with the Bushlore. I don't think enough people know about them but it is great practice for honeing your knife skills.( sorry no pun intended ) 😁
I've done some "mini" tri-sticks in previous videos (one video with the Kephart and one with the Woodlaw, I believe) but they never get old to make. Very fun! Thank you for the awesome comment, my friend! -Dave
was that popler the feather sticks with at the end
very similar to my favourite - the tops tanimboca puukko
Very nice, Pascal! I've heard good things about that knife! Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave
👍
The ultimate puuko knife.
Hey Dave , thanks again for another great vid 👍🏻 ! It looks like the forest is starting to come to life again 😄 , spring and fall are my two favorite seasons to be in the outdoors ! Awesome knife , LT Wright makes great blades I have a few of his designs , the Genisis , GNS , and the Patriot ! I like this knife you reviewed and have been considering on purchasing it but once again I'm stuck on the Lagoom or the Spyderco bushcrafter ? I almost pulled the trigger on the Spyderco but had saw your previous video on the Lagoom and I'm familiar with LT's work and his scandi grinds . In your opinion which blade do you like using for bushcraft for longer periods of time , the Lagoom or the Spyderco BC ? By the way I'm still in the process of getting my equipment to start my own TH-cam Chanel , time & money are the two obstacles in my path but I digress lol😝! Thanks again my friend , best regards 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, Brandon. Both are great, comfortable knives. I guess it all depends on handle preference. The Spyderco's G10, contoured handle is very comfortable for long periods of time, I just like the feeling of the Lagom's micarta, oval shaped handle. Good luck on starting your channel, my friend! -Dave
Thanks brother 👍🏻
Thank you, too, Brandon! -Dave
You gonna get the Kamrat?
I am very curious about it, however, I am not in the market for a new knife right now. Also, the size, thickness and design of the Lagom is perfect for me, so I don't really NEED it's little brother. But, you never know was the future may hold. Thank you for taking the time to watch, my friend! -Dave
Would this knife be a good neck knife specifically for the wilderness or is it a bit large?? Thanks! Awesome video!!!
Thank you for stopping by, Tim! Great question! IMHO, this knife is a bit heavy for a neck knife. I appreciate that kind words, my friend! -Dave
Tim Poe
I use this as a necker and love it. It's a bit heavy but I never wonder if it's there.
Telling ya brother. Ya gotta try the Genesis.
Funny you should mention that, Erick! Stay tuned, my friend! -Dave
Can't wait. Hope you check it out in A2 although I heard the 3V is incredible I think the Bush knife may get dusty
Yes, sir! A2, my friend! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love can't wait bud. You should gimme a shout out when ya do the vid. :D
Better than the Spyderco?
Hmmm, interesting question. 2 different knives so its hard to say 'better', but I do use this one more. While the Spyderco is very comfortable, I like the feeling of this handle in my hand. The swell and the micarta feel great. I also like the bit shorter blade with the continuous curve on this one. It also doesn't hurt that this is an LT Wright handcrafted knife made right here in the USA! Thank you for stopping by, my friend! -Dave
That's a great answer! I wish I could buy them all lol. Take care Dave.
I wish I could buy them all, too, my friend! -Dave
Hi Dave. Just got my Lagom today. Feels great in the hand and preliminary messing around in the garage seems it will be great. Have to work all weekend but hoping to get out Monday or Tuesday to use it more. Did your micarta scales darken over use? Thank you
That is great to hear, my friend! I completely agree - it does feel great in the hand! Definitely keep me posted after your Monday or Tuesday outing and I am sure you are going to love it even more. Yes, the micarta did darken a bit, but not much. Gives is even more character! I appreciate you stopping by and providing your update! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love As suspected. Ventured out in the canoe. Found a nice bank and hiked into the woodland for an extended day camp. Really enjoyed the Lagom. Enjoying your videos. Hopefully this spring/ summer, I will get my channel up and running! Cheers!
HighCarbonSteel Love Dave. The more I work with this Lagom bush knife the sweeter it gets. Love the size, the feel and how it handles!
Thanks for your reviews! Im deciding between the lagom and woodlaw. If the handle wasnt a factor how would you compare cutting performance, especially feathersticking between the two?
Thank you for taking the time to stop by! My Lagom is a scandi, while my Woodlaw is a saber grind (purchased and modified by baryonyxknife.com). I think they are both excellent for tasks like feather sticks. I am not sure how the Woodlaw factory edge comes, but Benjamin did an excellent job with the grind on mine. If I had to choose, I would say that the little extra money for 01 tool steel, USA made, outstanding handle and scandi grind are worth the extra cake for the Lagom. The Lagom also has a little brother, the LTWK Kamrat, available at bensbackwoods.com that may be a tad less expensive. -Dave
Say heah Dave, compare your Lagom to your Spyderco Bushcrafter and or your Spyderco Puukku. Thanx You in advance. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
I will definitely look into that as a future video idea! Thank you for watching, my friend! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love Thanx You Dave, I just know it's going to be a great video. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
Say Heah Dave, I wish you a safe Holiday. I totally approve the Lagum. Further more I could understand why. I experience that same with my similar 3V Skookum Bush Tool. Yeah, Infact mine came out with a continues curve edge belly and Lemme tell you, for that its a exceptional great carver/slicer. I embedded that I'm my brain. "That Curved Edge Bellies Do Great" (I wonder how C E D G musically sounds) heh heh heh. Anyhow I sort of L@@K for these characteristics when I buy knives to Bush Craft. But I got extremely lucky when I teamed my Fox Jungle Parang with my Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter which I originally bought to team it with my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife which the two really are similar, But do have suttle difference. One being the Sheath and Attachments are in the O.D.Green. So when the Jungle Parang came and it was all black, It just color match, so I teamed it with my 3V Master Hunter right away. Over this Holiday Weekend I took my new set out. I brought my Fox Jungle Parang with my 3V Master Hunter and my BK-24 with scales as my neck knife. I also added my Wicked Tough Saw because I'm still figuring out how to setup my new Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw. Infact I also bought the EZ KUT WoW Folding Saw
Yup that's what its called, The "WoW Saw". Anyhow the curved edge bellies on both knives, even though the Jungle Parang is a little over 7". Bit with removing alot of metal to make a very thin apex edge, makes it a bitter. It's not that heavy so its not a power chopper, but very sufficient to chop moderate stuff.
But I can also feather with it, The 3V Master Hunter is more task specific for my finer tasks. Believe it or not, my 3V Master Hunter almost has as thin if not thinner edge apex. Yeah, Dave you heard me say this before. But this here set. Is proving itself as a Fav. of mine real fast. I could imagine when I figure how to put together my Agawa 21 Boreal because it comes in a very nice scabbard, and its called the Crazy Horse Leather Sheath, it also come with a shoulder sling. Yeah, its very nice. Yeah, The Fox Jungle Parang with my 3V Master Hunter, Oh, which has a distal rapper, my BK-14 and my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw will be seeing alot of use in this upc'min season.,,.
Sounds great! Happy upcoming holiday to you, too! -Dave
Oops, Man, I missed a week, people miss a day, heh heh heh, I miss weeks, heh heh heh.,,.
Oh, I ordered my EZ KUT Folding Saw, and I just got my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal, Dave, Honest. Get one. It's a good one. Easy Peasy Nice and Easy to put together. But it cuts great. Infact I took it out today. I also took my Fox Jungle Parang and not to confuse it with a Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife. But they L@@K very similar. I like the length on the Jungle Parang and the tip. Oh and that it also comes in all black so its a near perfect color match with my 3V Master Hunter. Yeah, the blade geometry on the 3V is alot different than the San Mai 3 Master Hunter. But I like both of them too. The S.M. 3 teams with my Cold Steel Kukuri Plus in O1, and the 3V M H teams with my Fox Parang. I'm really liking that set. Oh, I also added my BK-14 with slabs as a neck knife and my Agawa.,,.
Seriously, for a 3V blade its priced super and at 4 1/2" blade and its geometry, Its a good Bush Craft Knife.,,. Again, Thabx You, Dave.,,.
Nice! -Dave
Hey Dave I have a question if the world was ending which knife would you grab the spyderco bushcraft or your lagom ltw?
Tough question, my friend! Ideally, I would grab both but if i HAD to choose, I would go with the Lagom. I like the shorter blade with the continuous curve just a bit more. Plus, it may sound weird, but I also like the fact that the Lagom was made just a few states away from me. There is something to be said about a USA made knife by people who I communicate with and am able to watch perform their magic. That being said, there is nothing wrong with the Spyderco, at all! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome question! -Dave
How much? Sam Henry, thanks
www.bensbackwoods.com/lagom-bush-knife-green-micarta/ -Dave
No way I buy a knife w/o a guard, finger groove, or both.
Say Heah Dave. Yeah, Your Lagum L@@Ks great. I'm going to L@@K into one.,,.
Thank you, brother! You will love it! -Dave
Yeah, Your Welcome, and Thanx You.,,.
Oh, Dave, Althought its not like my 3V Skookum Bush Tool or your and or our Lagum. What I'm trying to say, the C.S. 3V Master Hunter cuts similar to our knives. Infact mine measures 4 5/8" or very close to that. But the 3V and not the San Mai 3 Version which is a little thicker and not distal. But, yeah, it has a very thin edge apex. Yeah, I really like it and with my new 7.3" blade also a tin edge Fox Jungle Parang. The two knives go together like soup and sandwich. That's it.,,.
was that popler the feather sticks with at the end
Yes, I believe so, Zac. Thank you for watching, my friend! -Dave
👍
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thumbs up, my friend! Great to hear from you! -Dave
