So...as Pappy pointed out the NS hilt will be squared. I (personally) like a rounded hilt on 3/16" stock knives..."BUT"...I didn't get a vote so:
We have:
* Model #11-4"
* Carbon steel
* Thumb notches
* Nickel silver single hilt
* Squared top
* Aluminum & red spacers
* RBM handle material
* SFG handle shaping
....That's "4" options. We have room for "1" more....or not. Let's hear from you on your thoughts about a wrist thong, compass, etc... "&" also: Sheath choice!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

I like it just the way it is, without the wrist thong!

same with Nate, I don't see a need to pay for a hole in the knifes handle.

I UNDERSTAND the functionality/purpose of it... I just see it as not necessary.

When you are up to your elbows in blood and guts, and your knife slips out of your hand, if you are using a wrist thong, you can easily recover and resume business. It may not be a big issue with whitetail, but elk, caribou and moose are a different story. Trying to find a blood encased knife in a large cavity, could be troublesome, and you could get cut trying to find it. Been there done that. If this is to be a safe queen, then no matter, but I look at hunting knives all as being potential users.
