need some pic for 6 bucks i would like to try one.Well had to kill about 20min so went back to cabelas and grabbed a 3” sharp finger for $6 out the door. I’ll grab a trapper when the dealer by me puts them on sale again.
That is about what they are worth, poor steel.3” sharp finger for $6 out the door
You are not wrong.I don't think the sharp knife would be good for gutting , because of the curve . I could be wrong .

It’s a smaller sharp finger with orange handle and nylon sheath. My cabelas had them on clearance.need some pic for 6 bucks i would like to try one.
Fits my hand pretty good and the way it’s designed it fits the fingers well. I was looking at something small. Tbh the folders without locks scare me as I sliced my hand open at age 17 and hit the artery or something cause I lost a lot of blood! Any time I’m handling a knife it makes me nervous. The knife was a folder and folded and slipped. I figured $6 see how it does. I do have a case xx mini that would work great but grandpa gave it to me and he passed away 2 weeks ago. I’m so scared of losing it cause it’s an older model too. I would think the point may help with gutting cause I can use just the tip, but I do see it maybe grabbing guts.Looked at the Cabelas web site, it claims the blade is 7CR17. Based on a web search, this is close to 440A. Another web page claims 7Cr17 is between -.60 and 0.75 carbon, and 440A is 0.65 to 0.75 carbon. 420HC is 0.4 to 0.5 Carbon, so maybe this Chinese steel is harder that what Schrade used to use for their stainless knives. Others can point out the other material differences. I don't have an old Sharpfinger nor a new one, but for $6.88, you can lose forty seven of them, before reaching the price of one of those $325 knives. Which would of course, be better made in all aspects. I don't think anyone is complaining about the price, just about how they think it will perform, so tell us how it does. Does it meet or exceed expectations?
I almost did it last night but too much $ between knife and blades. I lose knives a lot and that’s why I won’t take that case XX into the woods.Havalon, not very romantic but very practical.
