I make a replica using a REAL 50+ year old carbon steel chef’s knife. All of the components I use are accurate to the original. Wood, “rivets”, dimensions, and insignia (including the font), are all 100% accurate. It’s called theCHEF.
Here are a couple of links to give you an idea of what I make.

ADVERT: For Sale: theCHEF (102-12" Replicas from HalloweeN, 1978.)
And here’s an image I created featuring some quotes by other members of the forum that I pulled from the main thread.
