I know it would be out of your price range(only $50 more?)
Have you looked at Fallkniven`s new one,the FH9.
It is awesome in the "hand" and it has old-fashioned look you requested.
(A bit of a warning,it is heavier than the "modern" knives,for it`s size about double the weight?)
It`s finish and sharpness are near to custom-made.
