I recently saw photos of two knives, an APFK & a Fireman; each had brass #14 style hilts. The APFK's hilt had holes in it as normally seen on a #18.

My questions:
1. Is this style hilt (with or without holes) still an option that can be ordered on knives other than #14, #15 & #18?
2. Can nickel silver be substituted for brass?
3. If the answer to questions #1 & #2 above is yes, what is the ordering shorthand, and what is the current cost?

Thanks.
