I don't have a collector personality. I use my single shots (Ruger #1's and #3's)for hunting and when I get some fancy new ones custom made soon I expect to use them too. This might make some people cringe, but I have several knives made by Bob Loveless - and I use them too. Otherwise what are you supposed to do with this stuff?

Years ago, when I bought my first Loveless knife, it was a beautiful thing and worth the long wait - but I just stared at it and wondered what I would do with it. Then the phone rang, I placed the knife down and went answered it in another room. When I came back a few minutes later I looked at the knife and it looked a little different. Seems my dog had decided to just taste the sheath and handle, and left a few tooth marks. She did me a great favor - I knew exactly what I was going to do with it - enjoy using it for the purpose it was made for.
