FCH because it is one of my favorites and would look good on this build

I prefer FORWARD CURVED--here's why: the Model #1 double hilt seems a bit wimpy on the 12/14.

Steve,
I feel ya on the FCH vs. the model 1.
I would love to have the FCH not be a chargeable option on the model 1.
I never owned this knife or saw it in the flesh or I would probably own it.
FCH on model 1. FCH = Fully Curved Honey in my book, just looks more Mature to me.

David,
What would you know about being mature? Also: The #12-9 I posted has 6 options...go figure? I just wanted Warren to see that a #18 NS hilt "is" doable.

Okay, I am confused.
The #18 Nickel Silver Hilt is available on the Model 12-9 14 Grind, but it is not available on the Model 18?
That's why these builds are such an education.

Exactly, thank you David. My thoughts too.

LOL you guys are behind the "Curve" That hilt is available on all the Bowies & the Sasquatch I believe.
Cap is it two options for that hilt if you get the holes?

The "curve" is my friend.....

I am still wondering about that nickel silver "not" on a Model 18

I am guessing about nickel silver on the 18, there may be a problem with soldering it to the tube where the brass there is no problem with the process.

I hope Scott might see this and clear up this fake news

That's the secret Peter. Special solder is used on anything requiring securing to stainless.
Chief: Yes: 2 options on the hilt.
