Thanks for the reply.Thing is, the original H1 knife <b>WAS NOT</b> a Lamson. The construction is completely different. I'd go into detail with that argument, but nobody here is likely to push aside the idea because so many people have blindly accepted it...Also, I have looked on Ebay many times. I've even managed to snag 2 very nice, real knives from Ebay for decent prices. I'm just not feeling satisfied with what I've found so far. Every TRULY "H1-esque" knife I've seen on Ebay sells for at least $180+, and I'm not prepared to shell out that kind of money on a beautifully-kept vintage kitchen knife that I don't even plan to use properly. You know what I mean? I'd just rather have something fake that looks very well-done. That requires much less maintenance.Cheers,Ryan
