Loveless was a trailblazer for the knife comunity.
A modest addition to the picture tribute, my only Loveless knife.

Here's my first which I have posted before. I received a Dixon Fighter last Saturday which handle material is very similar to the New Orleans Special below. I will post Coop's photo after he's finished.

I'm unfamiliar with Mr. Loveless, alas I'm just getting into knife collecting... I wikipedia'ed and googled the name and saw he just passed away, truely sad

Was he the sole originator of the subhilt knife?
