Just an update. Despite staying in (no loss as the weather was crap), No sign of a postie, but got a message to say it had been delivered. Sure enough, despite 24 hour tracked, needing a signature and age verification, it had been popped outside on the bench next to the front door and under the kitchen window. He or she must also have walked across next door's front garden to us as the camera failed to pic him/her up either.
Anyway, big thanks to
@Templogin for setting me off on this trail. I love the thing. It's all that the good reviews say, is the perfect size (for me) and so comfortable to hold, use and even with the sheath (I'd considered getting a slimmer pouch or Kydex jobbie made) it's pocketable and discreet. It's also as non-tactical as a fixed blade gets.

And after oiling the sheath and the walnut scales it's even more appealing - to me anyhow.

I think I'm smitten.
