My first "Loveless" style fixed blade.. I really like this Loveless pattern so I made this with Alabama Damascus random pattern and ram's horn. The hardware is nickle silver. It is a hidden tang that is pinned under the inlaid shield and has a micarta tang/liner between the horn scales.. 4.5" blade. I re-etched the blade to get a deeper contrast. going to be hard to part with it, lol.

That's a pretty cool looking knife.

Man that is sweet!!

Mike's and RW's Double naked knife patterns are the stuff legends and really high prices are made of. I asked Mike if he ever made a folder and his response was RW once told him he never made folders because they were all ready half broken.

lol, nice

Did you contact Lacy about the etch? I've never used any of their blades but the ones that I've seen have all had a pretty nice etched finish.

no I didnt feel the need. the etch is fine, just seems to me its a quick etch and then they put the lacquer over it. I clean it off and then re etch it for longer so the different layers pop out more, thats all. The blades come very dark so I polish them and then re etch... here is another that I did and it isnt so dark.

Good job on the re-etch. Your fix and finish is looking good,

Very nice looking knife sir. I like it a lot.

Very nice blade.
