'quote' and 'modify' are too close.  :rant:

Lifetime warranty - lifetime of the purchaser or until your empire is sacked by barbarians, whichever is sooner

Imagine going up to the maker's descendant and showing him your relic.

I tried the museum shop hosting the original of the knife shown in the initial post, but couldn't find anything. This knife pops up here at MT.o at irregular intervals. :)

There are at least three of the originals in different museums in Europe. Wonder if anyone has ever done a metalurgical analysis of them.

No OHO, no locking, they must have had hard laws back then.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Where'd you find that one, E? :o

Museum souvenir from where the original is displayed or a custom build?

Not sure, I think it was from der-roemer-shop.de, although I don't recall paying that much... :P
