This is a excellent thread and has helped me a great deal in understanding what we can do within the five option limit.

I though I had it down pat until I read in another thread that Dirty Water says that if on a 12-9 you change from the standard brass lugged hilt to a brass forward curved hilt there is no charge.

I understand that if I order a Micarta handle on one of the leather handled models, that it is a chargeable option. If I then went further and specified a border patrol shape that would be another chargeable option, then a butt cap would make 3 and so on.

What if I ordered these same options on a knife that has a stag handle as standard?
So surely changing from stag to the cheaper option of micarta would not be a chargeable option.

Therefore if I ordered a Model #8 and requested the only options to be black micarta border patrol handle, would this be one chargeable option or two?
