Latest Loveless Dixon I made and engraved

[Andrew Ovalles]

Finish this one for a customer last week, did the engraving myself and this was the first time i've used corby bolts and spacer material. Steel type is CPM 154cm and handle is a certain wood type but i forgot.

As much as I love the loveless style i'm finding that I'm extremely limited in my engraving skills since the engrave area is very small. I could alter the way I grind or go about the steel but I will be switching to daggers and maybe bowies from here on, I find that I can be much more creative and flexible with daggers or bowies than doing modern fighters or hunters. I just find that my place is among art knives and its what I want to do in the future. I hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for looking guys.

Sorry about size and lighting, Took the picture with my cellphone since thats basically the only camera i got. In the future i'll probably get a high end camera or hopefully get big enough for coop.

Looks good Andrew, I just wish I would have gotten a chance to check it out. I think that your guard should be a little thicker which might give you more engraving room.

Check out this one.

That is what I call some beautiful work on a "Masterpiece" and both are in a class all by themselves !
Every time I see some of your work it just blows me away that real people do this by hand and it looks so much better than
any ole machine could ever do.*
Thanks for the pic's.!
