Finished up my take on the classic "sharpfinger" style knife 7 1/4" total 3 1/2" blade Alabama Damascus Afzelia burl with brass bolster stacked with blue spacers and two mosaic pins and matching lanyard tube layout on handle.

Wow looks lots better than the Old Timer Sharp Finger lol, thanks, I like a nice round handle on a knife, I struggle with doing that sometimes, but this one I got nice and round, for a little knife this thing feels like a dream, Old Timer's had that square handle with the edges rolled a little. The first knife I ever made was one of these, it was made from a saw blade and had walnut scales glued on with JB weld not pins, the knife is still going strong that was 25 or so years ago.

I have a couple of the Schrade Old Timer SharpFinger models. I agree with you on the squared off handles are uncomfortable. Plus they have that plastic feel and do not have the heft of a custom knife.
Your take on the sharpfinger is a definite improvement!

You beat me to it. I have a blade laid out on a billet but haven't got around to grinding it yet. I always did like the sharp finger style blade and when ever I run across one of the old made in the USA sharp finger knives I usually by it.
That's an awesome knife. You did a great job.

Your take on the sharpfinger is a definite improvement! Thank you very much, I like the shape of it I think the rounded butt is an improvement also if you slide you're hand back it is a lot smother also. Had a custom order for 3 damascus knives, he had an idea for the first two wanted 3rd to be a surprise, these are what I came up with

They all look great, very nicely done.
Your custom bolsters are always eye catching.
