I just finished up a coupleflat ground versions of the classic Loveless New York Special. I am calling it the Northwest special. OAL is right at 7", with a 3 1/4" blade of L6. This would make a handy fixed blade EDC, and weigh in at less than 4oz.
Let me know what you guys think.

Ben,
Yep, just about perfect.....
God Bless,
Ben - really nice! Also, I'm liking my Elk Antler knife you made for me!!!! :thumbsup:
Both look good but the top one is sweet. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great Looking pair! Good job.
I agree, just about perfect ! I wonder at what price they run? I like the first one with the canvas handle.
I really like your interpretation of this knife.
Ben, I really like your take on an iconic design. The design is time tested and can't really be questioned in my opinion. So a fresh take on it to make available to more knife users is great.
Thanks for sharing.
Chris
Thanks very much gentlemen! I have never had the pleasure of holding a real Loveless New york special. So finishing these up and holding one for the first is really a cool experience. Getting to feel the ergonomics Bob designed into these knives is really great.
