Loveless Style Dropped Hunter - Presentation Grade

[TK Steingass]

Gentlemen:

For your consideration is this Presentation Grade Loveless Style Drop Point Hunter in W-2/Desert Ironwood Burl. The knife was ground to the original Loveless pattern. The blade was differentially heat treated with Satanite. The S-Bolsters are soldered and pinned. The wood-to-metal is superb with lots of hand fitting in this one! Hand rubbed 400 grit satin finish throughout. A Loveless style sheath will be made for this knife. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. $425 delivered CONUS. Paypal preferred to tksteingass@frontier.com. This knife is also posted on my website. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

I'm generally satisfied with my humble financial state and living a simple life, but browsing this forum always makes me wish I had some more dough to spend. Beautiful knife there and the photos you use are always an attractive presentation and effective display of your work. Thanks for sharing it, even with us dreamers.

Outstanding blade.

How does the additional mass in the bolsters affect the balance?

How does the additional mass in the bolsters affect the balance?

Ben: Good question. The additional mass moved neutral balance back from behind the guard to under the first pin.

Stunning wood and nice variation on Loveless' design.
