Loveless Inspired Little Bear

[TK Steingass]

Gentlemen:

Every once in awhile I'll design and build a Loveless style knife without the use of a Loveless pattern. Here's one I just completed ...... the blade width is the same as the handle width making for a tougher build, but I like the effect. I hope you like it and comments are welcome. I think Coop did a great job on the photography.

Mr. Steingass, I hope this comes across as complimentary as I mean it, but you consistently put out some of the nicest, cleanest looking knives on this site or any other. Very nice job!

Thanks for the kind words Sam, but frankly, I don't hold a candle to some of the makers that post here. Glad you like it though!

This was an impressive knife, in every regard.

The sheath, which I only hint at seeing, is of equal quality.

Thanks Tim! Good luck with these.
