Description: The Hideout was one of Loveless' most famous and best looking designs.This Deon Nel Loveless Style Hideout is a beautiful example of the Hideout pattern. Award winning South African knifemaker Deon Nel is considered among the best Loveless style knifemakers anywhere. His understanding of the Loveless designs and sense of balance is particularly good.
Both the blade and full tang are distal tapered for a perfect balance. The Bohler N690 stainless steel blade was meticulously hollow ground and mirror polished. It is razor sharp. N690 ensures a keen, long lasting edge with good resistance to chipping. It is a great choice for high performance use knives.
Durostone handle scales are set on the distal tapered full tang for strength and durability. Durostone is made by Roechling in Germany. It is both visually appealing and provides a handle that is very stable across temperature and humidity ranges. Black vulcanized fiber spacers add a nice contrast. The handle is perfectly contoured for a secure, comfortable grip that you won't want to put down. It is completed with two Loveless style bolts and a steel lined lanyard hole. The 304 stainless steel guard meets perfectly to the handle scales.
The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched cowhide sheath.
Exceptional work throughout.
