Beretta Loveless Hunter, Zytel

Simple Man · Oct 27, 2003

Has anyone used this one? I am looking at it but haven't heard/read much aboout it.

Even though it is a Beretta, it has A8 steel and seems priced right for a "Loveless" user/beater.

Bringing this back up. If nobody posts, I'll let it die after this. Thanks

That's the first I've seen of it- a classic & priced right. Looks like a nice knife as a user- it's a proven design & at a good price point you shouldn't be afraid to actually take it out & use it.

Valley Knives also has it.

I saw it first a Bass Pro Shop in Nashville, but they want about $60 for it there.

Has anyone heard of these two placed or ordered from either?

If you are not tickled by fancy stuff, this integrally molded checkered zytel handle knife will serve as a great user in your hand! While it doesn' t have the heft of a micarta handled model, it is very functional. The AUS steel is quite adequate. The high hollow grind allows a thin edge that can be resharpened with minimal effort. The thong hole allows for a lanyard. The leather sheath needs to go however.

As it pretty much softened up after only a few weeks use. I had a vertical kydex made by Dozier Knives. Although the sheath may cost close to the price of the knife, it is now a fully functional package. Most of my fellow employees use mine as a "borrower" if it is laying on the shelf. My Dozier mades are always on my belt.

Smoky Mountain Knives has them for about $45. They also offer a similar model with a semi skinner blade, another Loveless influenced knife. Both are very good values for working knives. If after using them, you want a fancier model, just send either off to Bob Dozier. And he will make you one.

The quince burl handled models are a beauty! I recall a micarta and a stag model that may be floating around with some dealers. Haven' t seen any though.
