...A couple of notes. With an "N-25" handle and a nickel silver hilt you're "NEVER" going to have these imaginary "true-matching'metals everyone is talking about. The reason? RMK does not offer nickel silver spacers...period!

If we go with the N25 handle, can we get the wrist thong option? Maybe that will make a good looking combination 1. SS 2. TN 3. N25 4. Choice of handle material 5. WT These builds are really helpful to learn what we can do and can not do.

1 - SS 2 - TN 3 - NS1 4 - 5 - Yeah, I now read the thread about #25, it seems like we can use some store material for the central part of the handle. That is, if we choose handle #25 as option #4, then we can choose #5 - WT OR central part/spacer
