Bob Loveless Easter egg

[lieferung]

Wasn't sure where to share this, thought it was neat. I was reading a manga (Japanese comic) and lo and behold i came upon a Bob Loveless knife. I thought it was great to see that his work is appreciated across cultures and shared in this medium for others who normally wouldn't see it.

The manga was part of the Baki the Grappler series for those curious.

Bob was very popular in Japan as he visited often with his Japanese wife. He had in-law family there and he was revered as a blade maker in Japan. You could say he kind of married into the culture.

Bob spent time over there. He built some swords too. I've only seen one, a short one he had in his shop that was going to a customer in Japan.
