You're right Ronnie. The shoe fits in this case I suppose lol.

It looks good in the sheath either way Warren. Nice rig.

Can you take the keeper off & reinsert it? If so might have been done way back when.

As for carry of a favorite, had a sheath made by Harry Savage, who will win no beauty awards, but makes extremely solid sheaths of oil tanned leather which is not near so quickly ruinous of metal, makes a variety of Randall specific sheaths reminding one of old JRBs, the thread is linen, and every stitch pulled by hand.

And wait times in weeks, and normally near $50, even on a new oddball request which he had never tried before, and this is his take on how to skin this moose skinner. The loop can be specified for belt width, and stitching independent of sheath body. It hugs the very top heavy knife into place nice and firm with no flop, even with my favorite 25yr old 1" harness leather belt. A good hard use woodsbumming daily driver sheath for a very favorite all-purpose Randall design and particular favorite knife.

What gets me about Harry is that I have had him make at least 10 Randall sheaths and have yet to need send him a knife for fitting and have had one semi-loose strap which still retained the knife just fine. I hate risking shipping an irreplaceable favorite, such as this #19 where never in a million years will they ever make one which fits my hand as perfectly as this one, and this suits me just fine.

Nice. Beautiful 19.

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.

That's a beauty of a 19 and your new sheath is a dandy as well. I like the high rise sheath on my 19, you don't even know you are wearing it. For anyone that actually uses a 19, a high rise sheath is the only way to go, IMHO.

Danny makes a fine Hi-Ride sheath himself! And it's correct for a Randall, to say the least.

Sexy 19, that short blade is a workhorse!
