Congrats! Glad you were able to snag one!

I was also lucky enough to snag one Saturday from one of the first drops. I didn't reserve one because I think it might be too small for me but then when I saw the actual pictures I couldn't hold back.

I can't wait to compare it to my #06

I can't wait to compare it to my #06

That's what concerns me. The #06 was too small for me and I sold it because of that. My hope is that the larger front bolster on the #19 might make it feel bigger than the #06.

I guess I decided that I'd rather put the #19 up on The Exchange if it's too small than regret not trying one out. I hope I like it more than I expect to. I certainly do like the looks of it and the blade shape. It's a gorgeous little knife.

I passed on these, because they're simply too small. However, I'm looking forward to seeing pictures!

I’m passing for the time being as well. They are quite nice looking knives, but I believe they’ll be too small for my likes as well.
If rave feedback comes in on them, then I just might try for a stag to store away.

Mine came today, ordered it Saturday morning. F&F is very nice although I’ve seen better grinds, needed flushed, action is good and improving, very happy with it. Now for a comparison to the 09. Walk and talk is snappier on the 09, the pull is stronger on the 09. I don’t have a scale, but the 09 feels a bit heavier and it’s more substantial in the hand. In my opinion, the 09 punches above its weight, the 19 doesn’t, it is and feels like a small knife. That said, I do like it, and I’m glad I got it, and I will try for another one in the Northfield trim.View attachment 1452310 View attachment 1452311View attachment 1452312

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Does the #19 have a half stop?

 

[bigfish64]

Yes it does, and the back spring is flush when closed and opened, but slightly proud at the half stop.

 

[22-rimfire]

I'm hoping to pick one of these up. We'll see.

 

[CallMeDave]

I told myself I was going to pass, but I was right there when my automated alert system-triggers went off from the KSF email, and, well, the free buffalo leather slip and I’m weak.

Same here!

 

[bigfish64]

Sorry everyone, I just noticed that I referred to the 06 Pemberton as the 09, my bad!

Hey, it was just upside down.

 

[JOELSM]

I passed on these as well. Just didn’t call to me. Looking forward to seeing them in the wild though. Congrats to those of you who snagged one!

 

[Jolipapa]

Hey, it was just upside down.

At least these were available in larger numbers!

 

[GE Jr]

Small is okay, but I'll wait until they do the 22's again. With a clip blade/pen in front, as it should be.

With a clip blade/pen in front, as it should be.

As all Gunstock Jack patterns should be.

I expect this knife to be too small for my everyday uses. That said, I am getting the entire run - one for my collection (probably the Stag) and the rest are going to be stocking stuffers for the family. A run of six works out great as there are six in my household (not counting the five canines...).
