Vis loveless - Vis inox / Ecrous laiton

Convenient screw assembly system and cylinder nuts.

Designed and developed by Robert Waldorf Loveless, the world-famous American cutlery, this assembly system will perfectly replace the traditional rivets with rosette to mount the knife sleeves with full silk or flat sole fixed blade.

The mounting becomes easier, more precise and the screw clamping of the handle pads is better controlled by avoiding possible incidents due to repeated hammering of the rivets.

Principle of use.

This Loveless screw assembly system does not require the use of a hammer.

This screwdriver consists of a stainless steel screw Ø4 mm x 40 mm in length and 2 brass cylinder nuts tapped Ø7 mm x 6 mm in length.

After drilling the handle pads for the screw passage, drill again the pads at a very slightly smaller diameter than the Ø7 mm nuts with a maximum depth of 6 mm to make the housings of the two cylinder nuts. The two cylinder nuts shall be held sufficiently to prevent them from turning at the clamp, but without excess to avoid undue strain on the sleeve pads.

Screw one of the cylinders until you come in a stop on the screw head, then engage the whole on one side of the handle.

Then position the second cylinder on the other side of the handle and tighten with a hexagonal 6-pan 3 mm BTR key to the contact and block the assembly moderately but firmly.

All you have to do now is cut the screw heads on one side and the screw part that passes on the other side of the handle, sand and polish the whole for a robust and permanent mounting.

This convenient Loveless assembly system allows mounting all types of knife sleeves up to 40 mm thick.

The aesthetics and charm of ancient times.

After sanding and polishing, this Loveless screwdriver stainless steel screws and brass nuts presents the look of old-fashioned riveting with steel wire and brass rosettes that also made the charm of knives of old.

The Loveless system stainless steel screws and brass nuts remind us of this elegance while avoiding the risk of rupture following a shock, for example.
