About Bob Loveless
Bob Loveless is arguably the most influential and innovative knifemaker of modern times.

Loveless made fighting knives and is considered by many as the first to make, what is known, as a "Tactical Knife". His knife designs embody the dictum "Form Follows Function", his work is a must in any serious modern custom knife collection.
