Well worth the wait. Fresh from a trip with bonus air miles from Texas is a 1987 pattern drop point with double nude logos and ironwood + red micro spacer handle. The '87 pattern has a somewhat wider blade/handle than later versions and looks/feels like a dream to me.

Thanks Mike!

Dang I was not even born yet:D, I really like Mike and his work

Having been to Mike and Manuela's place I have had a first glimpse of many fine older knives.

We don't see enough Lovett examples around here , and now , two in one day.
Win posted his "Wilderness" from The Plaza here in the Gallery and you post this most excellent Drop Point.
Congrats , Dave. :thumbup:
To borrow a phrase from Mike: Love It ! :)

Hello Dave!

I am glad she finally got there! Man, what an around the world trip!

Hope she serves you well, as she is as close to true Loveless as I know how to make.

With many thanks to Bob Loveless and Jim Merritt for making the Lovett-Loveless Connection Knives a possibility. The feel in the hand is what really brings a Loveless to life!You just can't get that from a picture. I have worked hard to capture this one aspect of a true Loveless more than any other single element, and feel it has been well worth it.

Thank you for showing Her off!

I've been lucky enough to have handled a "few" of Mikes knives and will attest to the fact that they have that special feel to them ;)

Congratulations on your score, I'm sure it will serve you well.
 
A truly handsome looking knife, well done Dave.

Anyone know what the waiting list is like for Mike Lovett's knives? I've tried emailing but got no response.

Regards,

John
 
OOp's, I missed this one. They changed my e-mail to

micheallovett@embarqmail.com

This has caused a lot of us to loose touch.
I am really having to slow things up here at the Lovett Shop due to the the forced eminent domain move. The e-mail address should be the same, but the physical address will change.
