It would cost all of the real King Arthur's fortune to duplicate the original piece in today's market. And that's if you could find the kind of craftsmen and women who would have those skills. I know that there are still such people in Europe, but there might be some in this country. I believe it would take years to raise enough money to do it, but wouldn't it be grand?
Thanks so much for the history lesson. I love to hear things like this about the company. It makes KAF seem like more of a community of people, rather than a place with the typical corporate mentality. While the quality of KAF goods and merchandise is higher than other companies', another reason I feel good about shopping here is precisely that--the atmosphere of KAF which shines through all of your writing. What a fine, fine, place it would be to work.
