He Couldn't Lose [SG Spoilers]
Mr. Death:
The two knives being the same makes no sense. Everything else in the vault is extremely clearly from the Crucifixion, Harry describes the power of the two as completely different, and yes, this is exactly the kind of detail that, if it was present, Dresden would absolutely mention.

sp you can catalogue all 5 items drom the crucifixion uh? then do so please. as actually you probly cannot place the plaq, orthe knife without making it a spear. and as was pointed out medea was before christ, it makes reworking it first to a spear then back again illogically done anyway.

The plaque was on the cross with the letters INRI.
From wikipedia: IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), in English reads as "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews"
(the letter J hasn't always existed, same with the letter u)

Clay cup = Grail
Circle of thorny branches = Crown of Thorns
Cloth = Shroud
Knife = head of the Spear of Longinus
Wooden placard with faded symbols = INRI, 'Jesus, king of the Jews' the plague above Jesus as he is crucified denoting his 'crime'.
So they all fit the crucifixion theme just fine, knife and plaque included, as has been noted for some time now. This isn't a 'new' idea, its been the thought since basically a few weeks after SG came out.
Foxed:
The Spear of Longinus is also deeply tied into the post-Crucifixion Grail mythos, as the Fisher King possessed both.
So, not for nothing, but it would be weirder if the knife wasn't the Spearhead of Longinus.
