Loveless Question

[jjtjr]

Does anyone have a list of the various knifemakers who have worked in Bob Loveless's shop over the years besides Steve Johnson and Jim Merrit and what years that they were there?

I don't, but that's certainly an interesting question.

I believe Dietmar Kressler spent some time working in his shop.

Thanks guys.

It was Kuzan Oda that I was trying to think of. Once I had his name I was able to do a Google search and find out more about him. He was in this country for about 20 years and is now back in Japan as a Swordsmith.
