~ Just Received – Direct from the Maker ~ 

This is a very special knife from James ~ this is a Direct Copy of the Original Loveless Dixon Fighter with beautiful Stabilized Desert Ironwood Handles.

Due to the Mirror Polished Surfaces of this fine blade, this knife was very difficult for me to photograph – please excuse any Shading or Reflections in the pictures, the knife is impeccable in person. 

  • Crafted from 5/32″ – CPM154 Stainless Steel
  • Very comfortable Full Grip handle
  • Fully Tapered Tang
  • Custom Red Liners
  • Lined Thong Hole
  • Flawless Mirror Polished Finish 
  • Stainless Guard with Mirror Polished Finish
  • Impeccable Soldering job ~ appears to be one solid piece
  • Custom Leather Sheath

No detail is out of place on this knife, even the Silver Soldering of the Tang to the Guard (which most Makers do not even attempt any more) is flawless. 

The Tang is Steeply Tapered to reduce weight.  The Double Stainless Guard has an impeccable Mirror Polish and is one similar to what Bob Loveless occasionally used. The thin Red Liners are a subtle touch and help to accent the Handle Material.  

The handles are wonderfully matched and have amazing Grain and Natural rich color.

The entire knife has an Extremely High Fit and Finish.  This is a fitting tribute to one of the Great Masters of Custom Knife Making. 

James Hand Stitches every Leather Sheath that he makes for his knives.

I cannot say enough good things about James and and his work.
