In December 1953, a young man visiting Abercrombie & Fitch in New York City saw his first Randall Made knife and was immediately smitten. There was a nine month wait for the knife he wanted and the cost was an impediment for a young man of 24. He decided to make his own. Bob Loveless ground his first blade from a 1937 Packard Automobile spring and the rest is knife making legend. R.W. "Bob" Loveless died yesterday, September 2, 2010 at the age of 81.
