These blades will finish out to; 3 3/4" long, 15/16" wide at the hilt, and 5/32" thick at the spine. Grind profile is full convex, with distal taper, and no ricasso. Man, I love making these little boogers, rough grinding both of them only took about an hour and a half total. 'Course, finish grinding, polishing, and hand cutting each notch of the jimping with a chainsaw file is where the persnickety, time consuming work is. Why'd I make two? Obviously one's going to Nepal, and the other's going in my sock, duh.

I don't have mine anymore, but have always loved the Sharpfinger design. They don't seem to be going for less than $15USD on eBay these days.Spectre said:munk,
I don't remember if I ever showed you what a Sharpfinger looked like. One was my first fixed blade....
The design is over 100 years old, and Schrade is now out of business.
