Thanks! I started a thread in general discussion about my Estate Sale score yesterdayGreat find, that's a dandy sharpfinger, doesn't appear to have been used or sharpened much.
Score on the 32 spl in the background too, not too easy to come by these days.
That is a fine looking single six. Not common to see a fixed sight single six these days.Someone say Sodbuster Jr? T'was my dads, and ive been carrying it every day for the past 10 years or so.

My sharpfinger isnt an Old Timer, but a Schrade.

That scrimshaw sharpfinger needs a little tlc, but is still pretty neat too.
Yup! Haha but on a knife like a scrimshaw, patina isnt cool!That's "patina". It adds "character". LOL
I see they are making a Generational USA Series Sharpfinger now . I just ordered one . Made in the USA , bone handle , 1095 carbon steel blade . It looks a little different than the original . I will give it a knock for that . It seems like they would have copied the original IMO .
I have one of those but found the gut hook too shallow as It kept slipping out. Not a bad skinning knife but for me gut hook was only good for small game.I had a large Sharpfinger but I don't know what became of it. I never used it much. I use a USA made Shrade Oldtimer with a gut hook for skinning. That gut hook will unzip a deers hide in no time. I use a short blade butcher knife for everything else.

The only place I saw it in stock was Amazon . There were some places that sold it for a lot less money , but they were out of stock . SMKW had it for $58 dollars , when it was in stock . Knights Knives had it for $50 dollars .Do you have a link to where you ordered that knife? Suddenly I'm really interested!
