Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Schrade Loveless RL-2

I recently acquired this knife. Feels pretty good in the hands. I believe Schrade made these from 1975-6. There is some speculation these were made from 154CM. But I can't confirm that.

That’s nice looking.

Really cool knife. I like old Schrades.
It may be numbered.

I had one and foolishly sold it. They are a beautiful knife. Don't remember what steel they used... Schrade also offered a less expensive version of that same knife with a black resin handle.

Cool piece, way ahead of its time. Wouldn’t mind findin one myself

Yes, they were numbered. If you can see it it's on the brass guard

Did you purchase it new? this add say's they were a suggested retail of 100$ even with some discount that was a pretty expensive factory knife.

I tried to get a better pic of the add that came with the knife, which they apparently all came with. They allude to a special steel, but I don't know if it's add copy hype of just schrade + steel or some other more expensive steel.

And you are right there are Pro Hunter knives PH-1 and PH-2 similar versions of this knife with black handles made with shrade + steel.

Mine was an Ebay purchase probably 15/20 years ago. New in box, if memory serves, purchased for a bit over $100 and sold it for not much more. Same box and paperwork as yours.
