Remembering the Kalinga Pro folder, 0419RWS-B, cat. 5994

The beautiful upswept S30V skinner blade, lots of brass and anatomical rosewood grips catches my eye as well as it fits my hand.

A few pics of the 419 along with a fixed blade from the land of its namesake mountainous province of the Philippines, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalinga

Great knife! I've got one I'm rather fond of as well.

I love the Kalinga Pro. It was my 1st, I think, purely coveted knife.

Great knife!

Anybody know if any limited runs were ever made after it was discontinued?

I know they do that with the 120, but I doubt it was ever (or will ever be) done with the Kalinga Pro Folder.

I wish...

I have 3 now, one rides on my belt and many people ask about it because of its unique beauty but are very dissapointed that it is no longer available. I keep one in the vault and another down east with family waiting for me after getting off the plane. I wanted to reduce the risk of loss so I leave that one there instead of risking airline travel with it.
