Maybe someday I can get the same prices for my knives that Bob Loveless does. I do the sheath a little different than Bob does but for the most part all is pretty much the same. As with any knife I make my goal is symmetry, fit and finish.

Here is another one:

Specifications:
  • Overall Length: 8 3/8"
  • Cutting Length: 3 3/8"
  • Thickness at Ricasso: .156" (5/32")
  • Blade Material: ATS-34
  • Lanyard Thong Tube: Nickel Silver (1/4")
  • Rockwell Hardness: RC-60
  • Guard Material: Nickel Silver
  • Handle Material: Desert Ironwood with hourglass grind and finish
  • Handle Pins: Loveless Style Bolts (Stainless Bolt/Brass Nut)
  • Blade Finish: Mirror Finish with Deep Hollow Grind
  • Sheath: Custom Brown Leather
  • Liner Material: Black Fiber Liners
  • Design: Drop Point Hunter with Tapered Tang

Another winner.

I like contoured handles like that. Most of my fixed blade knife handles are contoured on the sides.

That's a graceful design and execution.

By the way, I just emailed you.
