Gentlemen:

For your consideration is my version of the Loveless Chute Knife in black canvas micarta/CPM 154. Mirror finish grinds - 1200 grit hand rubbed flats. The clip is sharpened on this fighter. Neutral balance is behind the double guard where it should be. Superb fit and finish. Buyer may specify right or left hand sheath. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. $480 delivered CONUS. Paypal preferred to tksteingass@frontier.com. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening. Thank you for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

V/R,

I have to agree with Mr Carpenter. Looking at this one and looking at mine ,and actually being able to look "up close and personal"; it would be very hard to exceed the craftsmanship in this knife. The grinds are as perfect as you can make them and the balance is perfect. Definitely a winner!

Thanks Ben - you're too kind. My earlier versions had a primary grind at 50% of the blade width - this version has a higher primary grind more in tune with the Loveless style for this knife.
 
If you tell me the grinds are different I'll have to believe you but I can't see the difference in the pictures. The craftsmanship is THERE no matter the grind ratio.
(It ought to be perfect. Those elves are overworking the optical comparator day and night!)

Yep - I've been working them hard - now I'm giving them two weeks of vacation. I'm going to Bladesmithing School at the New England School of Metalwork. Mike Williams, MS will be the instructor.
