Hump Day Loveless / Fracassi Goodness

[The Amazing Virginian]

I don't believe this one has ever been posted here before, and this is a new picture that I am sure hasn't been shown here . . .

Loveless stiff horn with nude logo, with guard engraved in bulino style by Francesca Fracassi. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

Glad that the five of you liked it. It is probably my favorite knife currently in my collection.

The ladies are not modeled after any real women (or even Donald Trump ) but instead are fantasy women imagined by Francsca Fracassi reflecting her own mood and emotions at the time she engraved this knife about 18 years ago, as she explained in the book, "Firmo and Francesca Fracassi: Master Engravers," where this knife is featured.

There is some other-worldly engraving depicted in this book, which I highly recommend to any fan of this type of work.

The "standard" for comparison. Great knife.
