Boot knife?
Hello Steve,
I have been a lurker here over the years admiring all of the knives shown here and learning from all of the posts. I decided to bother you because I just started an off the cuff version of the boot knife. The material is 1" by 1/8" O1. At the moment it is about 9 1/2" long. I think that is way too long. Could you give me the proper dimensions, so that I can correct my project. Any information from anyone would be helpful. Thanks. Fred |

Cool, Fred. Happy to hear that you are making a boot. Which "Boot Knife are you referring to?" The "Loveless Boot," or the "Johnson Dirk?" Email your addy & I can send patterns, if I have what you need.

Steve,
When I asked the question, I did not know that the boot knife and the New York special were the same knife! Lol I will send you my address and I would appreciate both patterns, if that is not being too greedy. Thank you, Fred |

They are not the same knife. There is the Loveless 4.5" Boot, the NY Special, about a 3" blade and my Dirk which is about 4 1/4" long.
I'll send you all three patterns. You can see all three in my web site photos, which I just emailed to you. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Steve,
Thank you for the explanation about the models. On Dentons B Loveless site, I downloaded a PDF photo from an old catalog that had all of his knives. It is pretty hard to make out details from that. I am bothering you a lot today, but do you still have a photo of the knife you identified as a Wee Wilderness? I wanted to see that if possible Thank you again for your help!

That Wee WI was just done once, I don't recall many details. I can email you a photo, however.
I'm sure the blade was about 4.5" - 5" long, just a smaller version of the full-sized knife. Probably really close to the size of a 'Chute knife. __________________ http://www.srjknives.com NRA Endowment Member Knifemakers' Guild Member since 1971 "May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift |
