Episode 53 - Loveless, Labors, Lost - John Denton
Episode 53
Friday, 16 August, 2024
Arguably R.W. Loveless is one of, if not the most influential knife maker and designer in the last century. Bob's designs are some of the most copied and reproduced in the market today, and you can see his impact on knife making in a majority of knives made as well. Bob was an enigmatic man, as notable for his generosity as his tantrums, and those who knew him personally either loved, loathed, or did business out of love and trepidation. It's hard to decouple the man, the myth, the legend of Bob Loveless from the personality, but I think that's why I needed to talk to John Denton about his long relationship with Bob, his dad J.W. Denton's legacy in business, and John's personal history of collecting. With Bob passing away in 2010, John is the closest we get to the horses mouth, as he and his father not only were close to Bob, but were the foremost collectors and dealers for his work. Today, John still deals in Loveless knives, and has handled probably more pieces of his shops work than anyone on earth.You can find available knives and John's book on Bob Loveless on his Website.
