Mr. Bob was a one of a kind. As was this well known collector. KnifeMaker/Retired after over 47+ Years in the Craft ( P.S. Jim showed me how to do the boltless scales. Kinda neat! My favorite Loveless of all time is a Jr. Bear they made for Jim in Black Linen and Boltless. Very clean looking Knife)

I sure miss Mr. Bob and Jimbo. Two of the best friends I ever had. Mr. Bob was more like a father to me and Jimbo like the Brother I never had. Good times!. J. Denton was one of the, no, most well known and knowledgeable collectors of Loveless knives and a Good friend of Both of them. I liked Mr. J as well. Very nice and open fellow. For whatever reason, his Son had a real issue with Mr. Bob, Jimbo, and I working together. Never knew why. He was friendly enough to my face. Kinda stuck me a greed, but I've been wrong before and may be now. A lot of high end collectors didn't like it. Mr. Bob and Jimbo didn't think it was any of any of their business. ;<) I imagine that the comments being turned off on most of the vids were by his Son as the dates of the Vids posted Are well after Mr. John passed. Odd. KnifeMaker/Retired after over 47 years in the Knife Shop

@@TXFarmRoad As you know, there i s no way to post pics here. However, there are a few very old ones pictured at Arizona Custom Knives and in archives next to Loveless Knives on Knife Legends between Loveless and Lovestrand. Then you will know exactly who I am. (Maker of the Loveless Authorized Loveless Connection Knives with the logos provided by Bob Loveless Himself ). I was to work with Jim to work the Loveless shop when they could no longer. Sadly, my Wife Contracted a Genetic Autoimmune disease that is deadly and I could no longer move to Cali. to work in the Shop. The State took over her care as it was far into 6 figures. The catch is I was no longer allowed to make Knives and sell them or they would no longer take care of Her Medical. IN other words, continue to make my Knives and She would die. Several collectors and dealers wanted me to leave my wife and continue business with them. What kind of Man l abandons family in the scariest time in their life. Money over family is no Man.

@@TXFarmRoad Lovett is the name. The Loveless Connection was Loveless/Lovett. Don't be such a horses arse! Mr. Bob's logo was changed by him for the Loveless Connection Knives as the Nude logo had a sad face denoting Loveless or no love to a impish smile for love it! (Lovett). I keep who I am quiet because I was forced to disappear from the business Forced by the State. . I miss it everyday and it hurts like Hell!, but my Wife was in is more important.

Did you actually have to disable comments because if disrespect? If so I can’t say I’m surprised. But anyway this is probably one of the best collections I seen.

Well yep... that'll work. It doesn't get much better than that. 🙂 I too love the loveless fighters and boot knives. Double grinds are pretty special indeed. Though tbh I seem to have this thing where I like them better one day than the next I'll prefer the more traditional higher main hollow grind with a clip type bl fighters. And as a hobbyist maker I switch between making them just as fast haha. (Could be bout the time when I've just finished making one of the particular grind types that coincides with when I like the other one better haha.) And that price. :)) Actually that seems quite reasonable compared to what I've seen similar knives going for lately! Mate do you sell or deal in these at all? I really should put the effort in and get one of his originals and will if I can find one at a fair price and the style I like. Just kinda hard where i live and being as I'm often back n forth between different nations and continents pretty regular lately. But if you have any or know how I could make it happen I'd really appreciate the help and could offer incentive. Last I was looking at serious was if I remember right near or bit over a million (Australian dollars) haha. But tbh I'd prefer one much much lower price tag than that. Preferably not stag... not a big fan. They're ok but... not a favourite material. Anyway what a beauty and as a keen hobbyist knifemaker Bob truly impresses me with not only his very meticulous build quality but mostly his very clever designs. And I think we're similar types of makers in ways too. I don't much care fir simple carbon steels or forging anymore and much prefer fine high alloy martensitic hypereutectoid stainless chromium tool steels fir blades and 304 ss and such fir fittings and fine machining and stick removal over rough hand forged stuff. Superior performance matters. Thanks again mate.
