Let's do this- I'm in but Kinda partial to the mission...

No pun intended

hunter or a mission blade are 2 of my fav's!
So blade style doesn't limit blade length here I'm guessing?
Something to keep in mind when we do this?
There are standard knives here as well as customs!
I would suggest a tour of the archives for any who haven't already seen them.

As for custom I'm partial to skull hammer marked blades.
And that hilt and blade that str8shuuter just posted are just what I'm talking about!

That Mission is set-up as a fighter. The blade is an oversized Bird &Trout. It looks great with a single hilt IMO, but equally as well as a fighter with a double hilt.

That's what I thought when I saw the picture, single hilt would look very nice. Add a little file work to the spine.......

Or a Sub-hilt.

Uhhh your kinda proving my point, options are up to us mostly.
Soo unless whomever is ramrodding this build sets specific parameters gonna be hard to count up the votes.
features like the hilt will have to have votes on:
1) single or double or sub-hilt
2) material
3) shape
Gonna take a minute to do & that's just the hilt!

Maybe WE need to set a limit then?? Grant or Warren could come up with a few numbers of options for us to vote on?? Nobody wants to be limited, but it would be nice to get this done sometime soonish...

I like that one myself Max.

We're getting way ahead of ourselves with options. Let's start with a blade first. Give it a few days and we'll narrow down the choices. All great discussion so far, keep it up.
