I keep forgetting to submit this notice. Last month it was reported on a firearms/edged weapons forum that I follow that famed knifemaker Bob Loveless died September 2, 2010. If I recall correctly, a couple of the Lovelxxx list members contacted Bob Loveless about seven or eight years ago and got some information from him about his roots. He was born in Ohio, but I don't recall where his earlier generations may have lived. I have not yet looked in the archives to see what info may be there. Bob Loveless was more artist than steel shaper. If you check out his website www.lovelessknife.com you will see samples of his work. Prepare to be astonished at the prices his work commanded. For those of you who might wonder, no -- I don't own any. And at those prices I never will. David Wilson Benjamin/Barton/Samuel/Seaborn etc. (MD group)
And now that he's gone, the knife prices will skyrocket. Nancy Welty Ross > From: dcw1000@verizon.net > To: lovelace@rootsweb.com > Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 19:40:09 -0700 > Subject: [LL] R.W.
