Old Timer 152OT Sharpfinger 7.1in S.S. Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with 3.3in Clip Point Skinner Blade, Black Sawcut Handle, and Leather Belt Sheath for Hunting, Camping, Skinning, EDC, and Outdoors

Reliable, sharp, great grip with wet or cold hands, not un-weildly or awkward to use, it’s the standard skinning knife we’ve all reached in our pack for at one point or another! It’s the perfect size, not too large or small to skin and break down everything from rabbits to elk. Blade holds an edge even through moderate abuse, and if not abused the blade will hold sharpness for many animals! The design of the blade’s curve and handle allows your hand to guide it almost instinctively where a cut needs to be made, whether that’s to open up an abdominal cavity without puncturing organs, or if you’re trying to separate back ham ball-joints without force. The only reason I’ve bought these knives over the years is to replace the ones I’ve mangled from my own misuse of the knife (prying bones/joints apart), or from misplacing it! Price is great for the durability and performance, I’ll have one of these skinning knives in my pack every time I head out into the woods!

The Old Timer 152OT Sharpfinger 7.1" fixed blade knife is my go-to and most used EDC. I have many knives, but this is my consistent pick bc I dont generally need a beefy blade for everyday tasks, but I more often than not need something that can pierce or make small, controlled cuts. The 3.3” upswept blade has an elongated trailing point which creates an unreal level of pin-point precision. The steel tapers to an almost hair thin point… be careful sheathing this bad boy lest you snag leather with that needle tip. Love this little precision piercer/slicer. I believe it is designed to be a skinner, but some might even find it meaty for such a task. The 3.2mm thick stock gives the blade more utility for other challenging problems however. It is a wonderful little piercing tool and that is its strongest selling point I think. Just be careful not to recklessly stab into things or you might lose that piercing tip. The 3.5” handle is comfortable, some sort of synthetic (delrin?) akin to plastic but certainly durable. Brass pins are a nice touch. Sawtooth cut goes a long way and not only provides a more secure grip than something like bone, it feels pretty dang good in the hand too. It’s lightweight to boot, no doubt bc it's a synthetic. Contoured leather button snap sheath is decent: leather is 2.2mm thick enough and honestly it is half the reason I carry this knife so frequently. Small enough to consistently wear and not large enough to draw much attention. The curved trailing point even looks cool sheathed too. Steel is not uber fancy (7cr17Mov) but it gets the job done and sharpens with ease. The factory edge was rather dull however so be sure to sharpen and hone upon receiving. After a few minutes with a 3k/10k grit ruby & agate whetstone I was able to get this little devil sharp enough to pull through paper like a lightsaber… no resistance… like butter. We’ll see if this 7cr17mov can hold an edge… my Old Timer PHW Pro Hunter 8” 7cr17mov blade holds an edge worse than any other knife I own, but that stock is cut much thicker. Even though they are cut from the same quality steel, I do suspect this Sharpfinger to hold a better edge bc of the slimmer profile alone… I’ve already been able to get it dramatically sharper than the PHW… Sometimes slimmer wins. I carry this blade every day bc if I had to (e.g. entering federal property) I could easily throw it away and replace it. As far as I can tell this is a classic model and for only $15 it is the cheapest blade in my collection… This is an infinitely replaceable tool worth every penny. You’d pay more elsewhere for the sheath alone…

Great knife for gutting and skinning. Holds an edge and Easy to sharpen. Not too heavy. Fits well in the leather sheath. Nice design for gutting and skinning deer

Had an old sharp finger as a kid and decided to try this newer one for my newest fixed-blade. Have been totally impressed. I’ve run it through four elk now and what I can tell you is this: it holds an edge very well, it is a joy as a skinning knife, and it sharpens very quickly even in a mid-job knife tune-up. For the price, you really can’t go wrong.

I picked up a couple of these when I saw them on sale and have been pleased. It is small, but comfortable and fairly sharp out of the box. A little time on the ceramic rod and the strop tuned it right up to shaving sharp. I couldn't give it 5 stars because the sheath came stiff as a board, but a couple of treatments with saddle soap and working in a couple of doses of glove oil put it toward the right path. When it was still wet from glove oil, i worked the edges on the corner of my desk to round over the "sharp" feel of it's corner edges. I find it a good deal for the money.

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.

Ce couteau de petite taille est vraiment sympa de part sa prise en main, sa forme et le fait qu'il soit livré avec un étui en cuir. Mais à ce prix il ne faut pas être trop exigeant niveau finitions! celui que j'ai reçu ne coupe absolument pas et il a un défaut d'usinage au niveau de la pointe. Rien de bien méchant je vais le "reprendre", mais à ce prix ne vous attendez pas a recevoir quelque chose de parfait.
