Entering the knife making field in 1953, Bob Loveless is credited with popularizing the hollow ground drop point blade, introducing 154CM and ATS-34 steels to the industry and designing the Gerber Guardian boot knife. Blade is 3 3/4 inch long, with a hollow ground single edge, "919" hand signed on the left ricasso, and the left side of the blade maker marked "R.W. LOVELESS/ MAKER/ RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA" with California partially obscured by a naked lady. German silver collar, with a slightly tapered full length tang and stag horn grip panels. With a brown leather sheath, marked "R.W. LOVELESS/ MAKER/ RIVERSIDE CAL." on the front and hand numbered "919" on the rear.

Excellent, with some light spotting on the blade, minor verdigris on the collar, and minor handling marks overall.
