Good morning Crew:
By a vote of 9-4 a stainless steel blade wins! Thumb notches are standard. Pink ivory wooden handle has been decided. So...What's next?
We still need to decide upon the spacers (or collar) and a butt cap, butt plate or neither, along with a wrist thong or compass. Still a ways to go including other option possibilities (HILT)? (SHEATH)?
Any ideas?
Best, Capt. Chris

Mel's arrangement might look nice with this wood:

Brass hilt
Brass and red spacers
Compass
wrist thong

With the CW and stainless, this would use up the five options.

The black sheath would be optional for me, maybe let the winner decide if they want it?

From the images I’ve seen on-line for pink ivory handles, I think a NS hilt with aluminum and red spacers is the way to go.

brass/red spacers

Same! Brass/Red Spacers

Wonder if the stick will allow a bit of Commando handle shaping? That would give a better grip.

I say again
-Brass & Red Spacers
-Brass single hilt
-WT
-Black No Hone Sheath
Get 'er done!

Thanks for all the input and I, just to troll against the tide, agree with REK. Nickel silver looks great with pink ivory...and ya'll "KNOW" I don't care what we build. Brass hilt with brass spacers (I would go brass & black) only uses up one option, a plus to consider as well.
Weekend's coming to an end soon and on Monday night we'll see the flow and move on. It looks like a brass hilt is leading...
Thanks, Capt. Chris
PS: Larry" I can request a handle shape but it will be minute if they agree at all...CCS
