JRB, yes the frontier folk.net is still available. I just checked. The thread I previously mentioned is also available. I believe Ken Hamilton is still either making knives or on occasion makes knives available through FB on various of the Market Place groups. They seem to be offered by Rjvk Tentis. If the OP cannot reach Rjvk or Ken, I have a couple of Ken's English Trade knives I would consider selling. If that has interest, PM me.
Cheers, Doug T.

Wick Ellerbe made a smaller version of English trade knife for me with bone handles.  It is a great blade sharpens nicely and holds the edge.  I skinned and parted out an elk with it and the edge held up without needing sharping during the hunt.  Normally used as a patch knife attached to strap of shooting bag.
