My dad was a collector for the intrinsic value of items. He saw things created to reflect intelligence in the creator of the time and the history to be something to be maintained as a reflection of culture, times and creative abilities.
With antiques such as pottery or furniture...the word 'reproduction' is used to define an item that is not an antique but was re-created to embrace an era in time.
With knives...I am hearing the word 'fake' being used. Outside of fraudulent advertising...I am not fully understanding this word usage.
Reproductions in other antiques hold a value noting the reproductive quality.
Is it that there are just more scamming involved in knife collecting (people attempting to recreate a knife with the intent to deceive buyers rather than the anticipation that a reproduction would be identifiable)?
Thank you for educating me on this and please excuse my ignorance in failing to understand the difference amongst collectibles.
