Comments: Those of you who are familiar with the Ricardo Velarde story already know that he had two of the finest knife making mentors on the planet. Steve Johnson was Ricardo's early mentor, followed by a year in Dietmar Kressler's shop learning to make flawless integrals.

Ricardo has done both of his mentors proud with this Ultra-rare fully integral Loveless style Pro Hunter. The bolsters features Ricardo's trade-mark satin and high polish banding, and the grips are made from perfectly matched presentation grade Himalayan Sheep Horn which is contoured in a pleasing shape to fit the hand.

A rare and wonderful knife with very complex grinds all sorts of interesting details by one of today's top integral masters.
