Thanks for the input. I'm just in the process of using my "one-time free" change order that I have directly with the shop. Here's what I settled on for the Big Bear:

Stainless Blade
Nickel Silver Forward Curved Hilt
"Rounded" Nickel Silver Butt Cap (sticking with the commando handle)
Black Micarta
Black/Metal Spacers
Waxed Brown Sheath

Now....I'd better get this in the mail before I change my mind again!

Thanks again all.
