Proud new owner

Bought this knife from another member the other day and could not be happier. It’s a very rare Loveless pattern made by M. Lovett from Gatesville. I’ve known Mike for a couple decades and always wanted one of his knives. Mike was the apprentice for Jim Merritt and Bob Loveless. This knife was made 40 years ago before Mike acquired the Loveless Nude label he used on knives made in the late 90’s up to his retirement. Mike got permission to use the logo after Bod and Jim retired. Today this knife made in the Loveless shop will set you back 5 grand. Hope you enjoy

Nice Knife. I bet the guy you got it from is a super nice guy. lol I hope you enjoy.

I may sell a few more down the road

That is a nice knife and he IS a super nice guy!!!
I'm ready to see what else you have in the collection!!haha

Love the shape

Very nice!

Very nice example of Mikes fine work. Just to be clear though, Jim never retired, he worked almost up till the time he passed away and the Loveless Shop has never been closed and is still open today. Thanks for sharing the great pics of your knife.
