Mike, a couple of those really look familiar to me. They wouldn't be in Florida, would they. I wish you had a picture left over of that "Mini Chute Knife" to show with these.

[Keith Montgomery]

That is an excellent design, done to a tee by both makers.

 

[Kevin Jones]

I like those. Been missing not seeing many of your photos as of late.

 

[Charles Vestal]

Very nice trio of city knives Mike.

Where did Mr. Johnson come up with the idea for that integral city knife.

Thanks for sharing

Hey Mike,
beautiful work as always bud. Very few knives on my must have list , one of those City Knives is at the top !

 

[Jon Brand]

Those look extremely clean and are a great size. I would love to have on on my belt if I lived somewhere else..

 

[T.K.C.]

Those are all beautiful knives!!

 

[Michael Lovett]

Thank you so much everyone!

Jonathan, Thats why we call it the City Knife. It comes in a small sheath ment to be carried in the front pocket! HIDDEN!!!! In fact there is a double edged version called what else? The NY Special!!! Oh Yeah!!!

The Lovett City Knife (integral or custom) is a very discrete fixed blade for carry, especially in the pocket sheath that Manuela fabricates. They are very elegant knives...that is a very nice trio.

Yes Doug, the Ivory Is Ancient Ivory!

Hey Paul Long! Yep!

Thanks John T.!!

Hey Charles. Steve Johnson contacted me about making the style. But then again, as he worked with Loveless for a while. Who better! Harvey Dean is going to make at least one in his Damascus. Hope it is the Feather pattern! I love Harvey's work!

The Design is from the fertile mind of Bob Loveless. The City Knife. He designed the models, and the Stiff Horn in a folding version for Jess Horn Years ago. I just added a new twist to the design in the all metal version. I am making a set soon as I get the chance for both Bob and His Partner Jim Merritt. I have been carrying the Stiff Horn version for over a year now,(2-?) and Just love-it! Here is a pic of the original. It is the All integral Stiff Horn.

And this is the All Integral City Knife. It looks similar in the pic. but is a much smaller Knife. I think I would like to carry one for a while. It's size makes for very handy carry. And this Pocket Knife's blade will never get loose! Lol!!!

 

[Michael Lovett]

Thanks Kevin. Been under the weather for a while. But I'm back in the saddle again!
Mike

Paul. Is this Knife the one you are referring to?

 

[Doug C]

Yes Doug, the Ivory Is Ancient Ivory!

Harvey Dean is going to make at least one in his Damascus. Hope it is the Feather pattern! I love Harvey's work!

Thanks Mike.
It would be awesome to see an integral city knife in Harvey's feather pattern Damascus,I love his stuff too.
Glad to hear your feeling better.

Feels good to be back Doug. I have made a small change to the All integral Stiff Horn. It now has a very slightly longer grip, and the underside of the bolster area is serrated for non-slip use.

Next week, I am finally going to be able to build a few of the long awaited All Integral NY Specials. These have been called for over and over here at the shop, but I wanted them to be just right before their release. This will be the first run of the true Loveless Connection All integral New York Specials.

It's going to be a lot of fun for me!!! I Love-it when a plan comes together!

Mike and Manuela

 

[Michael Lovett]

Well it took longer than I thought, but I finally have the All integral NY Specials the way I envisioned them. Shipping next week!!

I'll try to post a pic.

Love the trinity, but at the risk of BF excommunication, I must say the green micarta looks really fine (or is that green bark mammoth ivory?). Might be the dementia--brain blood-flow ebbs after lunch/before nap here at the nursery.

Memory lapses, too. Forgot to mention I was raised in the Tri-Cities. Hoping that would put me at the head of the line or at least the 5 spot.
