Traditional Loveless Style Hunter Dress Grade Style 1443
This is my interpretation of the traditional Loveless style hunter. I think there is a law that says every knifemaker has to make at least one.
I used my own damascus for the 4.5" hollow ground blade. A very nice piece of Snakewood sits behind a water buffalo horn spacer. The guard is browned wrought iron taken from a Conestoga wagon wheel rim. I also made a leather pouch type sheath to go with this knife.
