Loveless Influence
I was sitting at the computer this morning just browsing knife pictures here and on the web in general.
It is remarkable how many makers there are who are wholly dedicated to the Loveless style. A general search for Loveless knives will yield results where nearly half are 'Loveless style' knives ather than his genuine work. Looking at the thumbnails is little help because many Loveless devotees even copy the look of the familiar football shaped maker's mark with little triangles on each side. Honestly, it was a tad frustrating trying to separate the real from the 'tributes'. I guess that's the result of achieving legendary status by making very beautiful knives--everyone wants to be you. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions."
