As much as I’ve enjoyed carrying my FK2 and other CPK’s, I have so many others that deserve belt time as well. I bought a stag handled Loveless Utility made by Bob Dozier a while back that I couldn’t really bring myself to use if needed so I did what any respecting knife lover would do, bought a second!

Here is the update...

Haven't held it in my hands obviously, but from what I see, and others of his, his work is very, very good. This one is 3V.

I'm not sure why I haven't heard of his name more...I only stumbled across a picture of his knives randomly. For the fit and finish, this maker deserves some air time for sure.
 
Speaking of Krein, he did an AWESOME regrind on this Swamp Warden some years ago (I believe Hard Knocks Hard Knocks had it done)!

It has since received a beautiful forced patina by me (one of the best I've ever seen honestly; the most colorful one I've ever done) and some awesome Pirtle leather too. I posted these pics in this thread early last year:

It's one of my favorite small blades!

That patina looks great! I didn't have Tom grind that one, it popped up for sale and i grabbed it. Still one that i remember often 👍
