I've only seen a few Loveless knives in person over the years, saw one of the Delaware Maid ones several years ago and got to handle it. The dealer proudly exclaimed "That's only $40,000.00!". I promptly handed it back to him, visions of neuropathy and clumsy hands buying me a newly broken Loveless knife.

I am usually in northern Delaware, and visit the shore points and a knife shop in the southern portion of the state. Was Loveless actually in the state of Delaware, or a town, like Delaware OH, making knives? If he was in the state of Delaware, is his shop still standing? Open to the public? Anywhere that I can go to see a former home or shop? Thanks.
 
He made knives in Claymont DE for a few years. Could have started there, but I am not sure. You'd probably grt better answers in Custom subforum.
