I always thought L.C. Finger's design was a great little knife but I'm less than impressed
by the most recent "made in China" version, so I did my own. This one is in 1095 with
an Axis handle. I really enjoyed doing this one so I may make a whole batch of them.
Wikipedia says that one of the famous carriers of the knife was Sonny Barger:
"Probably the most famous user of a Schrade Sharpfinger knife is Sonny Barger, founder
of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
In an interview with Harper/Collins regarding his book "Dead in 5 Heartbeats", Barger
commented on the Sharpfinger knife: "A lot of people I ride with carry that knife. I actually
prefer fixed blades — like the Sharpfinger — to a folded blade. Although I carry a folded blade too,
with a fixed blade you don't have to reach inside your pocket. It's always handy, on your belt when
you need it. I use my Sharpfinger as a tool. I do everything with it. I like knives with sharp points.
You never know when you might want to pop a balloon or peel a banana."
Yeah, right Sonny...
Thanks for looking.
