Im sorry but I really do like it and I know some of my top collectors friends on here will be livid with me.
and 1851 Staunton Cooke
Great post btw MGT!
No one can fault you for your personal tastes
Being new, I'm not allowed to post links or images but HoF made a set called Centurion which uses the Fierce Knight design. I bought both the 4" and 3" pieces. Spectacular knights! I also like the 1849-50 era of Jaques knights and am contemplating the Morphy Cooke set from SC in 3.5".
This one?

That's the one. Weird rule about new members can't post images or links. How long do you have to be a member here to be able to do what almost any internet forum allows the first day?
No idea, I don't recall that rule being in place when I joined; I suppose it's in place to deter advertising/spam.
I'm on the waiting list to obtain the Legend Product Alegria Ebony and Boxwood set. Mr. Peterson's knight carving is quite impressive.

Mr. Dennis Peterson told me that he is still doing work on the carving of this knight which is part of the new Alegria Ebony and Boxwood set to made available in the Spring of 2021. FYI.
I agree, it has a commanding strong presence on the board.

Peterson's website hasn't worked for me recently. Getting a secure connection failure: Error code: SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION. This is a problem on both Safari and Firefox.
It works on Safari I just logged onto it. Maybe Google Chrome would work for you? Try Safari again if not Google Chrome if not wait a bit and retry.

Post a picture or a link for the uninitiated
I spoke to Mr. Peterson about this issue with an email this morning. I'll see what his reply says about the expired certificate on his website. You could put the website yourself in your computer search box. Legendproducts.com that's all I can say if the link given doesn't generate anything for you.
Here is a list of knights that I find attractive, in no particular order (although I would probably pick the Noj Tal as my favorite):
