Title: Drop point hunter - Loveless style
Post by: jpsowers on November 27, 2013, 08:59:00 PM
I have had the larger of these knives laying on my bench for two years. I just got the handle on in time for deer hunting.

The smaller one, I carry as a fixed blade pocket knife:

What are the lengths?  I had a small one that I built from a cheap blank one time and it made a great pocket knife with a kydex sheath.  Mine with the sheath was about the size of a credit card and a little less than a half inch thick.

Hey Matt,
The long one has a 3 1/4" blade - 8 oal.
The little one has  a 2" blade - 5" oal.
They are both from 0-1 and fairly thick in the spine - 5/32" or so.

Thanks Lin. If my shoulder will stop bothering me, you may see my first forged bowie here soon.
