...is just an elegant little beauty. This is the BOS 5160 special from C&C. I had been keeping my eye on it and the stock was typically pretty good. The other day I noticed that all of a sudden the stock went down to 6 (from 21), so I had to order one. Comes with a USA made sheath vs. the made in Mexico sheath that seems to be more popular these days. Comparisons to the 119 as well:

reminds me of the 102 sort of in size. I grabbed one a week or couple of them back.. great little fixed blade.
 
I have one of the plain versions and it gets carried a great deal. I'm waiting patiently for blue-handled version to pop up some day...
 
I find the 119 blade a bit longer than I like. It looks like the 117 has a more useable length of blade.
Great looking knife. Please post some pictures after the patina gets going. :)
