It's almost a little scary, but I seem to see eye to eye with Chris on an awful lot of things, and this is no exception. I've seen 12-6LBs where the FCH looked "just right," but I've also seen them where my impression was that it was just too much. It's perfect on the 12-8; that's such a powerful statement of a knife that the big old hilt doesn't detract from it in the slightest. I think of the LB as more of a hunting knife, though, and would think long and hard before I put any double hilt on it, much less an FCH.
