This will be a good one. I like the size and feel of the combat companion. I think the handle material is if first importance.Pretty but tough. I just threw this out to get started but how about Ironwood, of course we could Go all George Patton and have Ivory and then get it skrimed by mr. Bowels, Gosh now it needs real silver and engraved. Someday I'll be rich, but thill now these builds are great. Thanks again Capt.
