I wanted a Loveless style 'dropped hunter' ( see this thread for some beautiful things https://www.lovelessknives.com/hunting/ )
So Steve 'knocked' this up - but for less than a genuine Bob Loveless original! (January 2, 1929 – September 2, 2010)
ATS-34 Stainless tool steel @ HRC 61
Green Canvas Micarta
Mirror polished, in a 4mm Russet leather hand stitched sheath.
As with Loveless knives, you may be able to make out the wafer thin red in-lay just visible around the micarta. And I particularly like the way the steel is tapered back through the handle.
Anyway, have a nosey and see what ya think.

Orkot-handled Elmax drop point.
This weekend just past finished off an Elmax blank I made four+ years ago (Uddeholm Elmax: C 1.7%; Si 0.8%; Mn 0.3%; Cr 18%; Mo 1.0%; V 3.0%).
Overall length 243 mm, blade length 120 mm, blade thickness at spine 3.3 mm.
Heat treated by me (last time I'll do that, as the furnace's thermocouple burnt out at 1100C), tests out at HRC 57.
Hollow-ground blade, tapered tang, (lead-free) soldered brass guard, hand-made knifemaker's bolts, Orkot (kind of like micarta) handle.
Hard to get a decent photo. Inset shows detail of tapering and fit at guard.
