From my grandfather I inherited a small Loveless knife as well as 2 Randall made knives and I am looking to gather more info about them. My grandfather was hobbyist knife maker himself back in the day based out of Long Beach, CA and later Torrance/ Palos Verdes, CA and the family story goes is that he knew Bob Loveless and traded one of his knives for the Loveless knife now in my possession.

The loveless knife is stamped R.W. Loveless - Maker - Lawndale, California. There are also two Randalls with leather sheaths that I am guessing are quite old.

I am most interested in getting more info about them, I have no intention of selling them- See imgur link for pictures- https://imgur.com/a/GNGyRkK.

Any direction about who to contact further who may have more expertise would be awesome.

Thanks for any help!
 
Look up John Denton. He knows more about Bob Loveless knives than anyone I have talked to. That looks like a very early one you have.His knives looked a little more finished in the early 1970's when I new him. I hope that helps you. WB
