The 15 CDT is a good choice overall. Robustness, but offering opportunities to dress it up above and beyond the Full Tang version.
Stainless ($) No TN (would use up one of the five options) Single NS Hilt ($), Squared Standard Spacers Stag (if exceptional color and texture can be had) ($) WT ($) an Either NS Butt Cap ($) or Compass ($) Waxed Sheath (not a chargeable option, so it can be had)

P.S.: In an ideal world, maybe a knife could be configured along the following lines someday:
Blade material: Irresistium Hilt: Unobtainium Handle: Exquisite Impervium Sheath: Some of Greg's stash of exotic skins, maybe Dragon hide
