Dear all,
I am french and i will try to use a correct vocabulary.
I just aquired a Schrade Sharpfinger.
In France, except for the knives collectors we do not have a real culture of the american Brands as Schrade. We were mainly able to find some for the hunters but it was just a "hunter knife".
I am interrested by US knives for their quality, history and stories (industrial or human).
I already have few old timers or uncle Henry.
I found a Sharpfinder as a second hand of course made in US.
I said second hand but this one is brand new, never used, never sharpened.
Blade inox (Schrade+).
Jagbone.
A Duck cut out in the blade (the Federal "flying" duck).
There was no box, no stamp and no badge on the bone.
This one is the same model as the 75th anniversary (of federal duck?).
The blade is shapen as it was "in the box", we can even see the original stripes on the edge of the blade.
The blade itself is satin, without any scratch.
I am annoyed, i do not know if i should use it or if i should keep brand new as a collector.
I am not really a collector, i always use a little bit all my knives.
Maybe i should finf another one in 1095 that can be used without any remorses.
Just to share some pictures,
Regards.
