Stuck at work due to a blizzard so I have been surfing the net and found this other knife site. This knifemaker does 18th and 19th century stuff. For instance a hand forged 15" knife made like they did in the late 1700's and early 1800's is 150 bucks. Try typing www.doubleedgeforge to get there or www.wesnet.com/deforge1/. This guy has some great looking pieces and fine testimonials. Anyways fwiw. thanks
