Anyone have one of these? How are you liking it so far? I know they're a new company but how have their knives held up so far?
 
I don't have one, but I too have been looking at them and would be interested in a review.
The Loveless Folder looks really cool. I have also heard that they have a bunch of other collaborations in the works.
 
They do look very nice! I have only seen a few prices on them and they seem to be extreamly high for a production knife! One of there tactical folders sells for $300! You could almost get a true custom for that!
 
From what I learned by talking to the president/owner of the company, Jim Wehrs, the knives are custom designed, and semi-production made, like Sebenzas. The knives are then approved, as far as quality, and materials, by the designers themselves. I handled most of the knives presently available at A.G. Russell's grand opening weekend, where several makers and manufacturers were displaying their wares. They are definitely high quality, as I couldn't tell the difference between these, and handmade custom counterparts. The onlt thing that clued me in was a mark on a blade with the country of origin stamped in.

My favorites were the Vallotton D/A auto folder( Way cool:cool: ) and the Ti handled Tighe folder.

With MSRP around $300, I'm sure the internet prices will be quite reasonable.

Here is their products page.

I don't know the percentages, and locations, but I did see "Japan" on the S30V blade of the Tighe knife. I did get the impression that a lot of the more detailed work (gold inlays on fancy handle of the Joel Chamblin collab.) is done by hand stateside. With the steel (S30V by Crucible, I think) being US produced, as well as the damascus (Devin Thomas) they would have to have a lot of confidence in the people putting the knives together to pay to ship the raw materials across the ocean, and then back as a finished knife. I say, if it looks good, has good material, I'll pay what I think it's worth, regardless of where it was put together. I haven't dug through all the info on their site, but I'm sure an email to them would clear things up.

Well, just check out their FAQ page, and they say that they manufacture knives in Oregon, as well as Europe, and Japan (for certain models)

I really like the look of the Loveless folder. All it needs is a thumbstud and a pocket clip and I'm there!
 
My post (above) was not intended to be critical. I'd just like to know the production-origin of these products. Quality is quality--wherever it's produced. The initial offerings look tantalyzing and I'm very eager to get some real-life feed-back.:cool:
