Comments: Maksim’s exquisite take on the classic Loveless style Sub-Hilt Fighter. “Lamina,” the name of the knife, is Latvian for laminate. QPM53 is a powdered steel utilized for applications requiring high fatigue strength and high wear resistance. Stainless steel is utilized to provide flexibility and resistance to rust. Another name for this type of laminate construction is San Mai. Double hollow ground, single edge, double lugged guard, and stainless tube-lined thong hole. An overall beautiful custom knife!

Look for more work from this talented maker out of Latvia. His craftsmanship is superb!
