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.
There is a little filework on the back of the 4" hollow ground blade. The Sambar Stag handle sits behind a nickel silver guard and is framed by a buffalo horn spacer and butt cap. I also made a leather pouch type sheath to go with this knife.
