Do You Have a Sharpfinger?
Possibly one of the most popular fixed blades of modern times. Once upon a time if you wanted a Sharpfinger, it was Schrade, or no Sharpfinger at all!
Now since the demise of Schrade, a bunch of companies are making a "Sharpfinger"!
If you have never held a "Sharpfinger" in your hand you don't know what you're missing! It feels sooo perfect. Like an extension of your hand.........a Sharp-Finger!
If you have one, or some, lets see pictures and hear what you think of them!

Craig I have seen even more companies that make them, try a search on Amazon and they are everywhere! Somebody is trying to "make a market"

I've some more .094(3/32") 1095 HC steel laying about. I am thinking I may make my own if I can't find an old Carbon steel one at a decent price. It would look really nice with some Osage, Tulip wood or Olive wood handles.

Hog, I think someone could have a pretty good collection of Sharpfingers! As far as I'm concerned, the design should have legend status! A great work knife, and TONS and TONS of deer dressed out with them!
Brad, that sounds like a great idea! I'd like to see that when you're done!

I scored a Vintage Schrade 152OT w/leather sheath for $45 shipped. I will still attempt my own creation.

Good going Brad. I wish I kept mine. My brother-in-law and I were knife dealers (The Knife Co.) back in the 80's and we sold a TON of Sharpfingers. I wish I had all of them to sell now! LOL!

I have a hard time accepting Schrades made by Taylor........but.............I really like that bone handled Schrade-Walden. I'm tempted. Hmmm.........

Hey guys, look at this one. Anyone familiar with this one? I would have bought it in a heat beat if I was back into collecting when it was made/sold!
A Schrade prototype sold when they closed their doors! Beautiful, isn't it? It's marked "New York Knife Co." I love it!

Nice example and stamped New York Knife Co! That's a great stamp!

Yeah, those handles give it that "Frontiersman" look!

My newly arrived Vintage Sharpfinger. She was 5 passes on the Ceramic rods from razor sharp on delivery, gotta love 1095 Carbon steel. Sheath is in good condition, needs to be re-stitched but it is very supple.
I was surprised at the diminutive size of the knife, but I can see the numerous uses for this knife because of it's size. I really like it.
As for crafting my own? I can't use the 3/32"(.094) 1095, it is too thin. The 152 Mic's out at .165(a hair shy of 11/64"), I'll see about using some 1/4" A2 or D2 stock I have laying about.
