I'm still feeling that the hot choice for the "go big or go home" summertime build would be a 12-9" #14 grind bowie. And it's just got to have the #25 handle for that retro feel (which also mixes the best of the Randall handle designs...leather and stag).

I also like the Model #5 fighter idea, though it is a distant 2nd choice for me.

It sounds like everyone wants teeth if a Model #5 is chosen. Are they still offered as an option? Not according to the website.
