Bob Loveless Custom Knife Early Riverside Stag Improved Handle Gut Hook with Small Football Riverside Logo
This very nice and rare Gut Hook was made by Bob Loveless between 1975 and 1977 when Bob Loveless worked in his shop without and helpers. It is a very early Riverside California knife that features the small football logo. The small football logo was introduced in 1975 and was only stamped on knives for a few years. Loveless was in shop by himself from 1975-1982.
The Natural Stag handles are well matched and the handle is the "Improved Handle" design. On the reverse side of the ricasso you can see a small dimple in the steel where Bob tested the Rockwell hardness of the blade. The knife feels amazing in the hand and is in amazing condition for a knife that is over 35 years old.
