He has been involved with knife making at age of 20, helping his father's business of the knife buffing and polishing. He has started making his own custom knives at 32 with a passion and yearning to Bob Loveless. In 1994, he had a chance to visit the Loveless's workshop in Riverside, California to show some of his knives. Bob was surprised with his work of high level craftsmanship, and asked him to stay and work together at his shop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At that time, there was no name marking on his blades, so Bob has wondered why you don't put your name on such well made knives, and has kindly designed his logo on memo pad with his signature and words of \"Vigilant\", \"Diligent\" \u0026amp; \"Capable\". Upon returning to Japan, he has started engraving this logo. It was an unforgettable moment in his life to be able to meet with Bob Loveless so called \"A God of Knife\" at his young age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTW-700 Loveless Wilderness Fighter Famous Loveless Fighting knife with double hollow ground blade, 7\" beautifull high-mirror polished ATS-34 hollow ground double edge blade (False edge on back). 5\" Hand contoured Rare Camphor wood handle with solid Nickel Silver Double Hilt, Nickel silver shield inlay and tubelar lanyard hole on end, Full tapered tang, Comes with custom fitted Brown leather sheath\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eATS-34 blade in 6.4mm thick, 175mm blade, 300mm overall, Weight 330g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnife Model: Takayuki Watanabe  TW-700 Loveless Wilderness Fighter\u003cbr\u003eBlade Material: ATS-34 Stainless Steel \u003cbr\u003eRockwell Hardness (HRc): 60\u003cbr\u003eHandle Material: \u003cspan\u003eHand contoured Rare Camphor wood handle with solid Nickel Silver Double Hilt, Nickel silver shield inlay and tubelar lanyard hole\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeather Sheath: Included. \u003cbr\u003eOverall Length: 300mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 175mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Thickness: 6.4mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 330g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takayuki Watanabe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34777304563757,"sku":"TW-700","price":237600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2159\/5123\/products\/takayuki-watanabe-tw-700-loveless-wilderness-fighter-17287253917741.jpg?v=1599587483","url":"https:\/\/japaneseknifedirect.mom\/products\/takayuki-watanabe-tw-700-loveless-wilderness-fighter-1","provider":"japaneseknifedirect.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
