- Featured is the newly released USA made Generational Series Schrade 152OTG Old Timer Sharpfinger fixed blade skinning knife. It has a 3.5 inch blade in 1095HC steel. The handle is genuine bone. The knife is paired with a leather belt loop sheath.
Glad to see a new USA model. I've had an old USA one since the 70s. Its a great timeless design and still going strong. Thanks for the video.
Wow I cant believe they brought these back and with real bone..
Thanks for the comparison Mr. B. It helps to really get a good look at the differences. Well done.
Nice video I also have one of the older USA versions as well I love that they put bone handles on these I can see myself pick one of these up ...
I bought 3 and love them. The bone on mines are the dark brown just like in the website.
You guys have convinced me so I bought my own and mine is perfect The handles are both vertical sawcut and perfectly fit and finished with no gaps or mismatch or over underhang Razor sharp blade from factory so I feel my $89 was money well spent I’m loving my knife and your channel
Seems like they would have made it more like the original one .
I prefer the look of the bone handles but the durability of the delrin. The new Sharpfinger blade is more attractive and sharpened better towards the handle end. 1095 steel is a plus. The price of the Generational Series is disappointing. I think $50-60 is appropriate for the fixed blades and $35-45 for the folders.
yes thank you
US made is great to see. Thanks for sharing.
I hope they keep producing more and more models in the US
I just got my Schrade USA and it’s perfect I love it Thanks
Awesome! I'm glad they're producing these in the US again
Thanks for the review... just purchased a couple.
I just got mine . It has the dark bone handle , but it has some irregularities in the shape , like it was sanded down in spots at the top of the handle . Not a straight line . Kind of disappointed in the quality control for a USA knife and a premium price . My handle should have been rejected .
The bone handle isn't bad, but i've seen other reviews on this one and the colour is pretty consistent on them; they all are lighter brown then on the site. Steel is great and for intended use a super choice. Thank you for the review.
Spelled “color” wrong. 😁 Teasing. Haha!
That is very nice. I have one of the China made ones. I always liked the design.
Love it
I traded my Harbor freight toolbox and $60 for the USA one today the box was used for a few years and it was to my son so win win I am happy
A lot of people are balking at the price of these knives. They want made in the USA but are upset that the price isn’t under 20 bucks. I think these are falling right in the Case price point. Now, that being said, I want a better level of fit and finish if I pay that much for a knife and that’s where the issue lies for me. Do I think that the Sharpfinger is worth 60 bucks? For bone handles and 1095, yes. Is the Chinese version significantly worse? No, but that’s the consumer’s decision based on what they value and their budget.
Well said!
Theres a real cognitive dissonance with those kindve comments thats confusing when you understand the production side. People want MiUSA quality without the cost?? Americans are way too comfortable paying slave wages funding sweat shops in "shithole countries" for their 5 dollar Tshirts and 15 dollar knives to know what these things are ACTUALLY worth when they are made in America. People in the old days used to save up for quality items. We as a country are flooded with cheap and easy and its affected the average persons perception of material goods.
If mine had the first bit of QC on it I wouldn't be upset but their customer service is awful as well. Go check some other reviews and you will see what I mean
I didn’t hear you mention that the old ones were not Beveled blades ! I believe the old ones cut much better because of that
The new one looks better made. I like the blade shape better. The steel is also better. And I prefer bone to Delrin.
I was doing a little research on this knife. I came across one at a pawnshop. But there’s a slight difference in mine. Instead of saying Schrade 152 on the same side of the blade, mine has shred on one side of the blade, and then 1520T on the other side of the blade. Any thoughts to why it would be stamped differently?
What is the HRC hardness…..on the blade of the new sharp finger?
I just ordered one of these. Would love to see them come out with a Deerslayer OTG.
100% agree! I’m still on the hunt for a good condition USA deerslayer for a decent price
@@MrBarlow I had a beautiful one on eBay yesterday and someone came in and sniped me with about five seconds left. They got it for about $51.
Nice....It would be nice to see a durability test between it and one of the ten dollar Chinese made ones.
If you are trying to skin a few animals I believe both will work just as equally well. But if you are trying to use the knife for a decade and maybe pass it on, the USA made one’s are the way to go. That is just my opinion. I wish I could simulate years of use on a knife haha
@@MrBarlow Cool....Paddy did a test cutting rope with different steel’s maybe it was cardboard....Then checked the sharpness with paper after so many cuts.
What I learned from this video. Don't buy a new one sight unseen. You may not like how the bone took the dye. Thank you for that.
Wasn't aware of new usa ones can u still get them?
Where can i buy a U.S.A made sharp finger? I live in central Illinois.
Mmm. Kinda ugly bone there. Maybe if you oil the handles they’ll darken up. ? Spose you could dye them, maybe with leather dye, for a rich, warm brown. I can’t afford new USA-made knives, so this one is not for me. The design looks cleaner on the new one, but the sheath is better on the old one. The little booklet is good marketing. And spud slicing is a nice change from paper cutting. Thanks!
I have one from the 70's and will take an edge but won't hold it well at all.
Where did you order it from ? Seeing prices range between $69 and $99 give or take.
I pre-ordered it on Amazon when it was first released (I didn’t even know I could pre-order items on Amazon). It is a hit or miss if it is in stock and the pricing is pretty irregular.
@@MrBarlow Thank you !
Bhq stated stainless unless I'm delirious, now I have to fact check
Update: yep, stock photo lists HC but they state stainless, sloppy work in the product information department
My old timer like that one. Will not keep an edge!
Aw sorry to hear that. When did you purchase it?
@@MrBarlow I've had it for years. Probably 15 to 20 yrs.
Nice video thanks. After a side by side look I won’t be buying a new American made one. I will keep my eyes open for an old American made one. The quality of the new model is just not there the fit and finish looks lousy compared with the older model. I’m even willing to pay extra for an older US made model.
My guess is they contracted it out to Bear and Sons...
That’s a safe assumption, I wish companies wouldn’t make it so difficult to find out where their products were made
Notice that nowhere is the name “Schrade” referenced . Nowhere on the knife itself and also nowhere on the packaging .This is a new stand alone brand .
the bone is likely the same as always : 2 year old buffalo shin bone
LMAO!!! Just went to the Old Timer Website. Wow! I haven't laughed this hard in well over a year! $80 for a knife that's worth less than $20!
Time for Old Timer to go softly into that dark chinese night!
What's worse, is that there are PLENTY of people STILL with more money than sense, so they might just last a few more years!
The new ones are made in USA with 1095 steel. Guess you didn't read the site or the video description. Doh!
@@LogosMediaII I did read it. Of course I did. 1095 doesn't equate to $80. You kept claiming the scales were Bone. It is called Delrin PLASTIC. And What a bargain! It comes with a Birth Certificate! It's a Beanie Baby!
Again, Not worth $80.
It'll be on Amazon for $20 by Christmas...
@@KandaJE The generational USA knives are bone not derlin.
@@raytycker1656 Never said they were delrin. Assuming you mean REAL Factory Farm raised bone, instead of the STANDARD Schrade Fake plastic (Delrin) bone lookalike -- So what? Doesn't justify the absurd price...
@@KandaJE American workers don't work for 20 cents an hour.
The one I got is absolutely trash! The color is very dark on one side and extremely light on the other. It is embarrassingly bad. And then the saw cuts are missing in areas. Do yourself a favor and buy an original or one of the offshore versions. They are better than this thing.
