stag Loveless style maker id help

Anybody know who might have made this nice knife?

Stag tapered tang with an engraving reading " COLT" and underneath CV-134

I don't believe its a Colt arms offering, my guess CV is chrome vanadium, but I don't know

Got it as part of a 3 knife set from a Hunter that wont need them any longer

Probably these knives were made by the workshop of Aida brothers in Japan.
(Yoshimasa Aida of the elder brother is a knife dealer, and Yoshihito Aida of the younger brother is a knifemaker.)
These knives were designed by Yoshihito Aida, and made by disciples of him.
And they were sold by MATRIX AIDA of Yoshimasa Aida's shop.

Thank You, I believe you are right as the second knife in this 3 knife set was a stag Aida hand scalpel. Let me ask you, what made you think Aida made the Loveless style pictured? Many people emulate Loveless' style, and make stag Loveless style knives. I now Aida Yoshino was Bob's protégé.

Thanks Again

PS My Son's Birth date knife, made by Bob Ham... http://www.timeonastream.com/SarneckyTaiga1Hunter.jpg

Let me ask you, what made you think Aida made the Loveless style pictured?

Because of the brand name "COLT".
COLT brand name is used on the knives which are made by his work shop.
(Though I don't know why they chose the COLT name...)

Your Son's Birth date knife is beautiful, and also seems very useful.

Ahhhh, Thank You. There's the rosetta stone.

Yep. I was in communication with Bob Ham when I lived in Japan after buying a beaut burl hunter he built. When my Son was born I asked him to build me a stag knife,( He doesn't usually work in stag) for my Son's birth. I sent him a sketch of the blade geometry I hoped for, and he built me a GREAT knife. Thanks Bob. He's a Good Guy. Now that's a Knife.
