Hi, may be I can Help, I will try to make this as simple as possible, but basically the type of steel, like the mechanism are important but depends mostly on what is the intente use of the knife. Both of the steels you mentioned are very corrosion resistant, so if I can choose, I will say VG10, better edge retention, and rust and corrosion resistance and likely more forgiving for outdoor use.
Regarding to the shape of the blade, normally I will say apply Kiss principle (Keep It Stupidly Simple), so stay a way from weird shapes because normally they are not practical to use or maintain (some time the weird shapes make very difficult repair or put an edge)
and lastly, a good consideration is be sure that had full tang, means the blade and the handle is made on one piece.
Saying that, I will advice to go to the skeletoniced version of the knife with the normal shape blade, in that way you will be sure is made for last, practical and your friend could personalize the handle in any way he want.
Hope that help.
