   I will make, anyone who desires, a knife duplicating the style of any knife I have previously made.  I WILL NOT make an "exact replica", as that would violate my pledge that every knife I make is unique, one of a kind.  I will, however, make a knife of the same basic design and appearance.  I will also make any knife, (within reason), of someone else's design.  Send me a diagram, with your choice of materials and finish.  I'll look it over and send you a quote.
