This is a phenominal hunter! Mirror polished D2 (very thinly ground), tapered tang, solder-less 304 stainless guard, mosaic pins, and California Buckeye burl scales with black and red spacers. Here's a scan: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=194082&a=8702838&p=28258770
And here's one showing the tapered tang and spacers: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=194082&a=8702838&p=28258788
The really unbelievable thing about this is that this was totally unexpected. I saw this knife on Neil's site and expressed an interest in it. Neil told me that it was the only Loveless-style he'd done, and that he was thinking about adding this model to his line. That was it. It never went any further.
Today the UPS man delivers it to me, and when I contacted Neil he told me that he'd decided not to add this model to his line, and rather than have it collect dust in the safe...he gave it to me!!
I tell ya, folks--Neil's a helluva great guy, he does extraordinary work, this is a great place to hang out and meet people, and I'm a happy, happy knife loving fool.
It's all good!
