And while I like BP's Model 25 idea (love the vintage look of the Model 25 handles), the Capt. is right...doing so would certainly lessen/diminish the size (and visual impact) of the beautiful piece of bog oak.

I think the traditional Bowie top edge would be great--and how about a forward-curved hilt? (It looks pretty nice on my 12-9 with thuya burl in Border Patrol shape.)

Both of your Bowies are not the traditional grind Steve. It may add to the confusion as these are "both" #14 grinds. Notice the straight top edge?
Standard Bowie grind shown below.
Best, Capt. Chris

I realize that, Captain--I've been stuck on stainless for a while, and that's why I think the traditional top edge would be perfect for this build.
My only traditional-shaped top edge is on my Thorp:
