This is not the original Sharpfinger. I've got it side by side with my old one, and there's really no comparison: the old model wins, hands down. The handle scales are heavier than the new model and feel solid, whereas the new ones feel hollow, like they were 3d printed. The overall finish is nicer on the old: it has no hard angles, and all edges that aren't expressly intended for cutting were smoothed over at the factory, unlike the new one which feels half finished. The new leather sheath is also of lower quality. The old sheath still feels solid and strong; the new feels like cardboard. If I had it to do all over again I'd have gone with Cold Steel's roachbelly. It was cheaper at the time of purchase and whatever its quality, at least I wouldn't have to continually compare it to a former favorite.
Three stars because it's an okay, but not great, value for money; minus one for what I feel is deceptive naming on the part on Schrade. If you've never owned a Sharpfinger before, though, it's still an alright buy.
