Sharpfinger 7 1/4" w/Leather Sheath

This inexpensive version of the Sharpfinger is actually better than the USA made version that I had to keep returning. Razor sharp out of the box, and very ergonomic. Feels great in the hand and cuts like you wouldn't believe. The fit and finish isn't perfect, but the saw tooth grip on the handles is well done. Just a great bargain on a highly useful knife.

Nuova generazione di un coltello classico. Finitura e qualità sopra la media. Arrivato in anticipo. Grazie.

Das Messer liegt gut in der Hand und ist ideal in der Küche. Zuden sieht es gut aus.

I have recently moved home after many years in a large city thousands of miles from the tiny village in which I was raised. I bought a large knife I hoped would serve many camping duties, fishing chores, the requirements of a hunt camp and so on. The knife I chose was awkward, soon dulled and was not a useful tool. The Shrade Sharpfinger was recommended by an old trapper who still plies his trade in remote areas of this Province. I preface my comments with this background because the Shrade Sharpfinger has been around for many years. Made by American tradespeople and the company owned by the same family. The reputation of this knife was earned due to its incredible balance, unique but useful shape which allows it to be useful on so many planes. A sharp point to penetrate, a swept blade to cut longitudinally, a broad back to support your hand under pressure, and a stout handle to aid your hand in handling. The old trapper knew whereof he spoke. Contrary to what we have been made to believe, the Srade company did not go broke or declare chapter 11. It became impossible I suppose, to manufacture this beautiful knife, in an economic climate that supported high wages. A plague on our North American economy and one I suspect will change in our favor sometime in my lifetime. Nonetheless; this knife remains exquisite and the equal of what it once was under the auspices of the the original family management. I have compared both the old and new. The finish is perhaps better now in the clean lines of the hone imparted to the blade. The knife came with a keen edge and after some use and a sharpening, it retains an edge even after dressing a deer. Which says something about the quality of the steel. The sheath is nice. Maybe not great but real leather, nicely formed to fit the blade, much as it has always been. This knife has an unusual but useful shape but is pointed and can make frequent insertion of the blade in the sheath take a toll on the interior of the sheath itself. To say I'm pleased is an understatement. I sold my large knife and have in fact bought a second Sharpfinger.

Para empezar el nombre es Sharp Finger (y no sharp finder como lo anuncia amazon.com.mx). Recibí apenas este articulo, es un poquito menor en sus dimensiones de lo que dicen en la descripción, en términos reales la hoja mide 8.5 cm y el largo total del cuchillo es de 17.5 cm, en su porción mas gruesa la hoja mide 2.5cm, la verdad lo siento un poco mas pequeño de lo que me imagine pero al ser fulltang se siente muy sólido. El único punto negativo se lo doy porque no me gusto mucho que la cacha venga en una recina lo que parece micarta supuestamente imitando madera pero para nada parece madera, creo que se vería mejor con micarta de un solo color negro o madera natural. En general se que no es igual que los Old Timer que se fabricaban en Walden, NY, pero creo que Schrade no hizo un mal trabajo, por el precio vale la pena. Bastante funcional como cuchillo decopinador, y también como arma defensiva urbana, es muy fácil ocultarlo en la ropa o bien para uso abierto la funda que trae es de excelente calidad. Si lo recomiendo definitivamente y quede contento con mi compra.
