I have a pic of a pic of Bob Loveless' personal knife.
It is hafted with elephant ivory.
It is from a zerox copy from a magazine pic years back.
I can send a message pic of that knife to someone if they could post it here to share.

The top knife was Bob's personal knife, hafted in elephant bark ivory.
Thanks Judman.
Best I could come up with for pics.

I doubt a fella would buy that to carry around hunting in the rain..
An investment piece.
Pretty good looking knife.

Wow, I would love to own that. I would love to just have a tracing of that one.

I know a gentleman that use to post here that has a whole collection of Loveless knives that were gifted to him by his friend. Attacks on him and his religion ran him off.
I have a copy of "How to Make Knives" by Richard W. Barney and Robert W. Loveless. Printed in 1978. Book belongs with a Loveless collector, it sit on my book shelf.

I have a 1995 reprint of that book.
I should revisit. It has been a while.
