Geno Denning www.cavemanengineering.com does a great Loveless style knife, for under $200. His list is getting longer, currently about 16 months, but well worth the wait. Best, JB

You will love the GM and Mini GM. I have a Mini GM on order myself. If you haven't seen one shoot me a PM with your email address, they are very cool. Best, JB

I hear good things about GenO...
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

I agree that Geno is awesome when it comes to knifemaking. His mentor was George Herron and it shows. A couple of years ago, Geno made me a chute knife and it's still one of the nicest in my collection. As a side comment, WC Davis also makes nice knives in the Loveless style. Just bought one of his with the green canvas micarta handle and it's a "spittin' image" of a Loveless knife. www.wcdavisknives.comGood luck and regards, Mike
