The knife is sold 17 January 2020
Greetings Blade Colleagues,
Here is your chance to own a unique Loveless knife. I am selling an original, pristine, brand NIB RW Loveless Dropped Point Hunter knife. Here are the particulars:
Robert W. Loveless (R.W. Loveless) Dropped Point Hunter-Spectacular absolutely new/mint genuine handmade knife by the Father of modern custom knifemaking. Our veteran collectors are very aware of the Loveless name and his impact on knifemaking. For those new to the custom knife world, recognize that Bob Loveless set the standards for classic hunting, fighting and carry knife designs from 1954 onward. His influence is still heavily seen in nearly all custom handmade knifemaker designs.
This knife is in brand new condition-never carried, never sharpened and never used. It was stored in climate-controlled conditions for nearly 45 years since being received directly from Mr. Loveless. It was ordered in the fall of 1975 and delivery was made 10 years later in September 1985. Here are the knife specifications:
Thanks
Paul

- Blade Alloy: 154 CM-Loveless standard alloy, heat-treated to traditional Loveless standards
- Finish: Standard superb Loveless mirror polish-photos may appear to show imperfections, but this is due to lighting and extreme magnification photography

I am showing the photos in extreme closeup and full detail. I am a mediocre photographer so in some cases the lighting makes it look like the knife has marks etc but they are either reflections or dust. The knife is brand new as received from Mr. Loveless - Price: $5700.00 including express shipping and insurance, signature required
I accept Paypal (with verified US PayPal address and US-funded) + 3.5% or USPS money order only. Not interested in trades. Willing to sell/ship internationally but please contact me for additional charges.
