Loveless wilderness fighter pattern

jimmyseymour · Feb 18, 2011

Does anyone know where I can get a pattern of the wilderness fighter by Loveless. I saw one at the antique arms show in las vegas and liked the pattern but couldn't afford to buy the knife. I was surprised that even though it was double ground only the clip could be sharpened. I've downloaded and printed off every picture I could find on the net but that will only get you so far. Any help would be appreciated.

It has patterns in it, or just pictures?

Bob told me to use the book for patterns. The knives are on 1 inch square drafting paper.
That is why they took the pics of the knives on the paper. You will have to copy the pics and size them up on a copier to scale.

Cool. I'll see if my library has the book.

My book has 1/4" graph paper background for the photos.
The photos, except a for a few art shots, are are taken flat against that background.

It's out of print.

and
My local library has thousand of trashy novels for the women who need some romance, but not a single knife related book.

It's not as clear as a paper book, but try this.

It is out of print but I just bought two on amazon in the last year. Currently there are 8 listed.

Little squares are 1/4" and the big ones are 1"

I agree

I don't know if it's in there, but Bob Enganth has a bunch of drawings of Loveless knives on his site. Go to the bottom right to turn the page. I hope this helps. Maybe everyone already knows about Bobs site... Lots of good info here!... I know it's helped me!

Every library has trashy romance novels. Fortunately, my library is one of the best in the country, and has lot's of knife books, sadly, they do not have this one.

Thanks for the link, though! That might be good enough.
