I’d go with the Polish craftsmen you mention. I believe they capture the dynamics and overall look of the originals better than the others you mention. Just without the etching…. I have no idea why any smith uses etching other than on pattern welded blades.

I've had excellent experiences with the Polish smiths mentioned. I've been highly satisfied with the quality of the work, as well as their communication and work ethic. Highly recommended.
