HI all. Got a question as I had a numbered 19A ('98-'00, 7.5" version) & had to let it go (needed the money) & now today (1.30.25) I'm seeing another, in the 9" version (19B) that just posted (1.31 edit: now sold) on the bay with a serial number on it as well. The one that posted was number 053. Does anyone know the significance of those numbers? Was it part of a 1st production run or perhaps a small batch run for a vendor such as the Cutlery Shoppe? Wish I had asked before selling mine but the curiosity remains as the recent posting made me think of what I had. Since there is pretty much zero information to be found on the web about this, I know that there are plenty of cold steel enthusiasts here who might be able to share that history of what they know. Thanks for reading, more of that for responding!!
