Ok first not to big on Japanese history to even know how long the guy is dead really it doesn't matter. Really if you want to make a similar design go for it if you want to do a similar grind go for it. Did I do that especially in the begining of cores I did! but when you say and I quote make a COPY that infers that you are not going to alter it at all to make it yours in any way you are simply making a duplicate. Unless my understanding of the English word COPY is wrong that's what it means. As I said I have looked at thousands of designs and yes many of them influenced my work one way or another but I always changed something to make it my own. If what you ment was your going to make a similar knife or that knife influenced a design you made I am with you 100%
