I have the 143 version you can pick up from walmart and it's a pretty nice little knife. Looks like this new 141 is almost an inch bigger than the 140 putting it at the same size as the 143 version.

The skelton handle is different and it looks like it has more jimping along the spine and in the finger groove. The 143 doesn't have any in the finger groove. Also looks like it mioght have a swedge, at least from the angle of the picture.
 
yes it does have the swedge on it.
I think because of the spine thickness...and since it's a skinner, it should have the accute point.
It's quiet a nice knife, razor sharp, easy to maintain andf lite.
tho the sheath is a bit sucks, you should to be careful not to cut the strap when draw the knife out.
the coated version I think is more attractive, and provides more grip on it...
 
I like the looks of the coated 141 version. Had intentions on getting the Eskabar but I may get this instead. Any thoughts?
 
I really liike the 143, this looks like an improved version of that with added jimping
 
I will probably try and find one in a store before I buy. Definitely interested in seeing how it feels in hand with the jimping.
