Man ... I, like manny of us LOVE the #5. I had to think about this but ... I would go with ... 6" 01 blade. (5" is good but I've carried my 6" #5 for years and LOVE IT) NS square-top hilt. Black micarta. (This model just yells out for a nice durable micarta handle) Wrist thong.
Exactly, Tony! I know we're streching the options a little bit here but like Guido and Peter said: Let's add a compass and we have THE Model 5 and a perfect starter AND user IMO. Thanks for the build, Captain!

I am another "Brad" fan with 01 steel 6" blade, although the leather handle for a starter #5 is OK too.

I already have a #5 Brad Angier but figure that I will not win twice in a row so would like for someone else to get a copy of that fine knife that I USE a lot.
If someone offers you a fine suit, why request blue jeans even though it is "casual day" at work, lol!
