My first Schrade Sharpfinger

[screened porch]

I'm surprised how heavy it is.

Nice.... I got my mine in the early 70's. It's in my suitcase every trip we take.

I especially loved it for trout fishing.....

Congrats...

A 1985 issue. Very handy knife. I've carried and used one of the regular production knives for years on a wide variety of tasks.

I look forward to trying it out.

Welcome to the addiction.

 

[screened porch]

Thanks. I've just noticed you can pinch the base of the blade without cutting yourself.

 

[Codger_64]

yes, or you can place your finger there to guide the blade. With practice, the many different grip styles become more apparent. That is called a safe choil, the unsharpened part of the lower blade in front of the handle.

"Safe choil" is a new one to me. Thanks for continuing to share all that knowledge I don't know.

Now you need a 154 to compliment it.

 

[screened porch]

Wuh oh. Maybe I do.

 

[Mack]

Wuh oh. Maybe I do.

They compliment each other unbelievably well.

I'll bet they would. Have to keep my eyes open.

In 2005 a friend phone from the U.S. to tell me, he had found a new unpacked Schrade Anniversary Display.
The Display came with six of each knife, as stock. Each box has a price sticker on them.

Then came the bad news; he said there is no Sharpfinger, and I will have to find one for the Display.
That is how I got my first Sharpfinger, it was not a late production one, and came in a brown box with a white sleave.

Because I put this knife into the Display, this is the only photo I have, of my first Sharpfinger.

You really, really need to find a 152OTS dual shield issue for that display. A very nice display though. I have some of the knives, but only the header board from the display.

Codger, that one will do, you have my address; just send it for Christmas...Ken

I will gladly put the 152OTDS in the display as soon as it arrives. My birthday is two days before Christmas. A two-fer gift. Plenty of time to get it here. Thanks!

That 100th anniversary sharpfinger is sweet. This was my first one. The blade is factory the handles are not.

 

[koldgold]

Nice one.

I like Codger's sharpfinger with the wooden handles and the 100th Anniversary blade etching. Ken
