Bob Loveless Hunting Knife #178, Riverside Calif., Leather Sheath

Bob Loveless hunter, serial number 435 as marked on the front side of the ricasso, as well as handwritten on the backside of the leather sheath.  Stamped R.W. Loveless Maker Riverside, Calif. on the front side of the blade, as well as on the front of the sheath near the top.  The knife and sheath are in near mint condition.  Call it near because it was previously owned, but I cannot find anything to callout.  A really nice, clean example.  The knife features a nickel silver single-finger guard, nickel silver pins, and two nicely matched stag scales with red liners.  Full tapered tang, which Bob was known for, and popularized.  There is a countersunk, nickel silver lined lanyard hole.

Condition:  Previously owned. Near mint.
