LT Wright Patriot A2 Flat Grind Blade Black Micarta Handle LT044

The LT Wright Patriot is a compact fixed blade built for those who’d rather carry capability than weight. Measuring just 5.625" overall with a 2.5" working edge, it disappears on the belt yet delivers hard-use performance that belies its footprint. At its core is 1/8" A2 tool steel, respected for its field resilience and edge stability. A2 is easy to bring back with a basic stone, holds an aggressive bite under repeated use, and throws sparks off flint when fire becomes priority over fine finish. LT Wright gives it a flat grind and clean satin finish, emphasizing cutting efficiency and serviceability over flash.

Construction is proudly full tang, locked together with marine-grade epoxy for strength and long-term resistance to moisture, grime, and extreme temperature swings. The handle is a black micarta — lightly contoured, purposefully utilitarian, and tough enough to ignore the elements. Micarta continues to be a favorite among serious outdoorsmen because it offers traction even when slick with rain, sweat, or sap. Brass hardware ties the entire package together — a lanyard tube for security options and dual brass pins for structural integrity and true hand-made character.

The Patriot arrives with a premium brown leather belt loop sheath from JRE Industries. It rides securely and draws clean, balancing minimalism with instant accessibility. Nothing about this knife is ornamental. Every detail emphasizes reliable, repeatable function. From its straight-forward geometry to its easy field maintenance, it’s the kind of blade you can sharpen on a river stone, hammer through fatwood, then trust again the next morning without hesitation.

For bushcraft, EDC, emergency kit build-outs, or as a dependable backup to a larger forest blade, the Patriot hits that rare zone — extremely packable, but fully mission-capable. LT Wright built it to be maintained in the dirt, not just admired at the bench. That philosophy shows clearly in every material choice and design line. It’s a knife that demands use, not preservation.

The black micarta handle and satin A2 blade are balanced for real-world work, engineered to last decades, and ready to disappear on your side until called upon.
