thanksIf it were stamped and they'd lose the billboard logo, I'd like it a lot more

there's some very nice shots taken in this sub. off topic but I was just thinking about the shad run down east. I've fished off a bridge in Craven Co. several times when I lived closer and is that ever fun.

the billboarding is the only thing i'd change but didn't want to get scolded again so I'm glad you brought it up!

I don’t think the branding looks bad at all, there’s a lot of real estate around it on the blade. It’s nowhere near as bad as the paragraph they put on the Legacy knives! The two big lines of text on last years Legacy 112 looks ridiculous taking up half the blade.

Like it a lot and for $165 didn’t expect a custom but still a little disappointed with very slight toothy edge and the fit and stamped indentation on the handguard. Slight burr on the edge as well.
Just to reiterate, I do like it a lot
Have an older one somewhere I got from my gpa about 30ish years ago. Need to find it

Just started that very approach recently. This will be #4.I could see how simply focusing on the 119 would make for an excellent collection.

I'm hoping to see a botm 117 with the same shape. CJ was emphasizing at shot show how the 117 is a mini 119. I'm sure that with the new release of standard 117s they will have a 117 as botm at some point. I guess I'll be regretting not grabbing one of these if that happens.

Here are my three latest…I could see how simply focusing on the 119 would make for an excellent collection.
My fourth 119 was given to me by my wife’s cousin from an estate sale he purchased. It’s a 2012 phenolic but I won’t post any images of it. It seems to have some skinhead verbiage scratched in its scales. I plan on buffing that out, fixing it’s abused edge, putting it in the new sheath I already picked up, and donating it to a local Boy Scout troop.

That would seem to be where I seem to be heading...
