To make it somewhat unusual...but not unheard of(!)...we could plead for a NS Lugged Hilt.

Just saying....

All of "THIS" is why I do "THIS"! I Love It! Good ideas and a good time. Nobody talked bad about somebody's Mother and it's all good!
..........."BUT".............It's time to finalize! Vote for one and one only!
Vote #1:
A) Brass double hilt (FCH)
B) Brass double hilt (LUGGED)
Vote #2:
A) Brass spacers
B) Smooth brass collar
C) Scalloped brass collar
Vote #3"
A) No butt cap
B) Brass butt cap
C) Brass butt plate
...A quick point of knowledge is required here: "Most"
Bowies come with a commando-shaped handle. This would mean that a brass butt cap would have several "shaping options" and it also means that a few shape options would be eliminated, such as a #22 style or a Border Patrol shape. FCH or LUGGED hilts are both doable @ "NO CHARGE". Commando handle is "NO CHARGE"....Shall we move forward?
Best, Capt. Chris

Capt. Chris—

I think you are enjoying this! Toying with us. Sheer cheekiness.

For me, it is a no-brainer at the front end of the handle: B: Brass Double Lugged Hilt.

Then it gets “ify” because…

A blade this big deserves handle furniture to balance out the eye appeal.

I can visualize two setups:

On one hand, the idea of a brass collar at the front end would contribute to the look, and that would require a balancing act on the butt end with a flanged butt cap.

If one is to be scalloped, then they both should be.

BUT (you see, I am using your favorite word here), you have seen the wood, and it must be spectacular—and it might not do the wood justice to take too much off each end of the handle merely to accommodate more brass.

So, on the other hand, of the spacer colors that can be had, are there any that would complement the wood, perhaps alternated with brass spacers? And could that be done so as to keep a flanged butt cap?

Larry

Vote #2 all the way.

Pap,

Vote 2 is just for spacers.
