"And now...we have, the REST of the story."
Thanks, gents. Makes one wonder how many times collections have been assembled with great care, broken up later, brought back together later still with even more effort, broken up again, etc.
This one is one I answered with in another thread, but no story with this one except mine own, bought new, but very old style.
The photos answer several questions others might have.
How strong is it? About as the front half of a #14, with nice useful deep primary edge. Compared to a #1 edge on right.
How fat is it? Not very. Not with a normal or finger groove handle.
How useful is it? Very. Consider all the most useful knives generally have a lot of handle for a smaller blade, best leverage and control. Just scale up the idea to near unbreakable and you have a #19. A compact Randall with more strength than a potato peeler, so to speak, and my "always" knife as in true daily wear.
