Not to beat a dead horse but... I was in the store today looking at a new 119 and was pleasantly surprised to see that the inside of the leather sheath had a plastic insert, nice. So, I guess even if the leather sheath happen to get quite wet the liner would keep the blade from direct contact with the leather till one could get it dried out. I was thinking about getting a new 119 at Walmart because they have a nylon sheath with theirs but the leather ones seem pretty sturdy which I like. My previous hesitation was what I thought was unlined leather which obviously is not the case so guess I'll have to go grab one tomorrow. Most stores around here seem to constantly be out of stock and having to re-order, guess that's saying something. Good job Buck. It will be interesting to compare it to my 619 in 425M and Kraton handle. Although I like the handle I'm looking forward to the better tougher Phanolic handle, we'll see about the 420HC.
