A Few Loveless Inspired Knives

[RyanW]

I have a small project going on that involves Robert Loveless designs. I am not a loveless kind of maker so to speak, although I do enjoy looking and handling them. I am quickly becoming a fan!

I started out with a "Drop Hunter" (A friend / writer drew up the final template). I then moved on to my favorite the "New York Special" which opened up some new making challenges for me. Also my first time giving the buffer a serious work out..

Love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Love that NYS Ryan. The gaurdless design is stunning with the way to did the double grind but theft the ricasso thicker like that. Always been a huge fan of your work.

I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon like everyone else. The NY special is my favorite. It's got the Loveless lines with the Ryan W twist.

I love the black handled one. If its not spoken for feel free to let me know

 

[RyanW]

Thanks everyone for the comments, I always like to try new things (new to me anyway). I didn't know a whole lot about Loveless but have been getting an education the last few weeks.

Pap11y unfortunately they are not for sale at this time. The black one is Bog Oak and 1095. The New York Special is Redwood burl and 1084.

Ryan,

Time to give Steve Johnson in Manti a visit :thumbup:

 

[RyanW]

I comunicate with Steve frequently! I will be meeting up with him at Blade this year. He is a very busy man

 

[Cperilli]

Both the loveless style knives are AWSOME. Now I'm going to halve to place another order with you.
