I like both idea's Gary, but explain the "Best Historically Inspired Knife" concept to me if you would.

Is this knife going to be an exact reproduction of a knife from the past, or a knife "inspired" by a knife from the past, or a knife "inspired" by an historical event?

Sorry for being so naive, but I do like making reproductions of knives form the past, flint knapping to bear jaw knives, etc... something about doing so makes me happy.

Typically a "Historically Inspired Knife" is made in the style of a famous knife or knife maker but not necessarily an exact duplicate.
