That is a totally awesome 19, for sure. It's almost a tragedy that no one will hack up some elk or moose with it. Too rare a bird for a user. Although my most favorite 19 hasn't touched blood yet either.

Back in the day you could order a minimum of 6 blades with a special forging. The idea for a 19-6 came from a customer of his who wanted a bigger blade so he ordered them sometime around 1980 or so. He said maybe 10-12 were made, but certainly in small numbers. We shared some stories but overall it was a nice exchange and he is a very nice man to take my call.
Took a few new shots today, hopefully turned out well. I'm sure Mike Mason will chime in. This is one really cool knife and you have to hold it to appreciate the heft and balance.
Very good get! A bit of trading went on for that knife to land at TTB's if I remember right. Definitely a would be a great blade for a user, just to rare! One of my favorite blades on steroids.
