I think Chief's idea, while it probably makes sense to him, doesn't to me. If we offered a stamping option, to the preference of the winner..."How's ya' gonna' do dat"? (Trying to put it Cajun logo for the Louisiana boy) Meaning: How are you going to do that "after" you forge. The only way to row, using Chief's logic (A contradiction in terms) is to wait until a winner if decided to forge the fool thing.
Compromise, while dreaded in many cases, may win the day. With a COA the knife can be completed "NOW" and the winner's option carried out..."LATER"!
Just sayin', Capt. Chris
