Snub Nose - Abalone

Finch makes the best and the coolest knives! The Snub Nose is another fine example!!! I bought 2

Received my Snub Nose knife. I was not disappointed. Arrived quickly and when I opened the box there was a definite WOW response. The Knife is everything that Finch states that it is. This is such a great company to deal with I have never been disappointed with any of the knives I have purchased. And the knives are very Sharp. I'm glad that they send a band-aid with the shipment. 😂😂😂

If you are looking for a perfectly sized 3-finger knife, this might be it.
The wide butt sets the pinky behind it perfectly. Almost a harpoon spoon feel to the jimped thumb area.
Only flaw is the sharp edge next to the lock lever-on the bolster. Very sharp but only felt when searching for it... doesn't seem to be an issue while in grip.
The abalone is beautiful, and a fun smaller flipper to carry anywhere.

The form factor of the knife is great for small hands. Zero hot spots. Jimping and crowning are very well done. Flipper tab forms a bit of a guard for more inexperienced users. Blade steel is quality and the contrasting blade finish (stonewashed/brushed) combined with the swedge on the clip point is absolutely beautiful. Action and lock-up lean more toward the buttery than the crisp. Wish the logo and "Finch" and "Snub Nose" on the blade were relocated further toward the tip so they're more visible when the blade is closed. One of my abalone handle scales doesn't look all that great because of the pieces of abalone used being such different colors and the way they join them. A great knife if you win the handle lottery though.
