The knife that Laurie holds looks more like a Dexter or Henckels to be honest.I think as long as you pick up something around 17-18" w/ a hilt and similar handle... you have a nice accurate prop.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndHey, Chad!Yeah, that's exactly what drew me to the PropShop knife - the fact that it's <b>not</b> based on a Lamson. I've never once seen a Lamson in all my collecting years that had a handle even *close* to the H1 knife design. And there isn't that much variation in the old, larger, hand-forged Lamson designs, so I've pretty much ruled them out as the "H1 knife" entirely. I don't know where you heard that bit about Carpenter and Hill giving "confirmation" to the Lamson, but I'd love to hear more about that.Dexter and Henckels are both very possible brands for the H1 knife, in my opinion. They have that sleek, curvy handle design like the H1 knife and were, at various points in the past, all produced from darkly-stained woods and hand-forged steel. My PERSONAL favorite brand of "H1-accurate" knives are from "Gustav"...And here are a few fine examples to explain why they're forever my favorite:<a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.com/MONSTER-GUSTAV-EMIL-ERN-FORGED-CS-CHEF-KNIFE-14-5-Blade_W0QQitemZ310096645615QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item310096645615&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318\" target=\"_blank\">http://cgi.ebay.com/MONSTER-GUSTAV-EMIL-ER...%3A1|240%3A1318</a><a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Old-Gustav-Emil-Ern-XXXL-Chef-Knife-w-Box_W0QQitemZ260308997015QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116\" target=\"_blank\">http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Old-Gustav-Emil-Er...p3286.m20.l1116</a>[attachment=28663:GustavEm...nifeEbay.JPG][attachment=28662:GustavEm...dVersion.JPG]Thanks and cheers,Ryan
