N00b question: Why do all of Ed Fowler's knives look EXACTLY the same?

Please call me Ed, Any time anyone has any questions, please do not be bashful about asking. There is a reason for everything I do, I am always willing to share my thoughts, methods and as Rex and I set our goals over 15 years ago, keep the language simple so those interested could understand without having to go to a dictionary or metallurgical textbook. Critics from both sides of the fence are always welcome.
 
funny i just saw this info when just yesterday i studied one of the rarest fowlers ever made. this knife was of only 4 made from a special piece of 52100. saw a copy of the info explaining how these 4 knives came to be. in essense ed said this 52100 piece was different than any other he had worked with. one knife went to rex walter to be studied so that rex & ed could try to understand what made this particular chunk of 52100 different. ed said that these blades would'nt chop elk bones without chipping like most of his knives but the blades would cut almost forever without getting dull.to really appreciate a fowler blade they need to be studied in outside light [ not incadescent] . also not to be viewed in direct sunlight.i ca'nt technically explain the blades except that they have varying zones from top of blade to the edge of blade.having had in my hands quite a few fowlers i could see that the zones in this blade were very different than other fowlers. anyway if you get to really study these blades you will see art in steel.not embellisment or fancy engraving but the blades look like they are alive.thats how they appear to me anyway.actually for what you're getting the price seems more than reasonable.
