Do people even use carving knives anymore?
You could go nuts (nice but pricey)

I think if it has history then take the old knife to a maker and see if they can sharpen it a make it useful. Blenheim forge in SE London might be worth a call. Although a bit of googling might come up with something more local to you.
This was exactly my opinion, but I think he wants the grandeur of a carving-specific knife for meat. His old knife has an antler handle that I could definitely remove, but I think I’ll go for something new.
