Thanks, Ronnie, I loooooove this knife. Nothing fancy, but sculpted so well to hand. The handy sheath makes this knife what it should be from the start. Always there. Which was entire point of shorter knife. This new sheath dumps 2.5 oz off the weight compared to the stock sheath, 13 oz total compared to 15.5 oz., quite perceptible in hand or on belt.

The 19 gives me big knife performance in most areas which matter, but in something hardly longer/larger than a Trout and Bird....gotta love it...and now, even handier.

As for beautiful? I dunno. Still has much of the original 19 tadpole look about it to me, bizarre, even. But works so well.
