Another early (1950’s) hunter made by R.W. “Bob” Loveless when he lived in Claymont, Delaware, interestingly, there are thumb notches on the back of the blade, just ahead of the guard. This is an extremely uncommon feature on a Loveless knife.
The photo, by Hiro Soga, ran full-page on page 131 of the book Knifemaking With Bob Loveless.
