I love the M25 handle. However, from everything that I have read about Bowies and their popularity, if you want to go "retro" i.e. original users/makers, then the proper handle would be a concave walnut one. I fully understand that there isn't 100% consensus on this but it is the theory that seems to be the most popular.
