Right now a Paramilitary 2. I polished the G10 scales for a more gentlemanly look. It is a bit more slippery now than the original, but not too bad. The handle shape also gives good support.

By the way, I got a Cold Steel lone star hunter fairly cheap. The scales are rather horrible, but I like the profile. I will try to make custom scales, I had in mind to cut the scales from some thin laminate I have. The wood itself is unimpressive, lightly colored, but I will glue and compress some paper on it to make wood-backed paper micarta scales. Also I will try to jigg the scales for better traction.

Edit: also since the original thumb studs are located so that it is not a very pleasant or smooth to open knife with them, I thought about replacint them either with a domed rivet, turning the knife to a two hand opening semi-traditional knife, or making a half-cirkle shaped opening disk of an L-shaped aluminium piece riveted to the blade hole.
