Finch Cherry Bomb
Every Finch has a story, and the Cherry Bomb's is the best one in the catalog. Finch Knife Company traces this design to childhood Fourth of July celebrations in rural Kansas, all bottle rockets, smoke bombs, and barbecue, and built a knife that carries that spark in a frame sized for grown up pockets. It runs as a limited drop model, which means the handle editions rotate and the good ones don't wait around.
The Finch Cherry Bomb 154CM Frame Lock
The Cherry Bomb packs a 2.6 inch 154CM blade into 6.25 inches overall, with brushed and stonewashed finishes that arrive looking pleasantly broken in. Lockup comes from a compact frame lock, carry from a stonewashed titanium tip up clip, and structure from brushed stainless bolsters that give the knife its traditional silhouette. Set into every handle is the Finch signature done properly: a logo cut from genuine sapphire with a layer of lume beneath it, so the knife glows back at you in the dark. It's a small detail that says everything about how Finch approaches a compact knife, nothing on it is filler.
Aftermath, Snakewood, and Fire Red Bone Editions
The editions are where the Cherry Bomb earns its collector following. Aftermath mixes black and brown resin shot through with thin copper veins, no two handles alike, over a fully blacked out blade, bolster, and clip. Snakewood goes natural with dark patterned grain that makes every handle one of a kind against the brushed stainless. The Fire edition wears dyed red ox bone for the boldest traditional look in the family, and Smoke keeps things subtle in layered gray resin. Same steel, same lock, same glow, four very different knives.
Cherry Bomb Steel and Handle Materials
154CM keeps a fine working edge and cleans up easily after real use, and our comparison of every major knife steel covers where it stands in the current field. Snakewood, ox bone, and patterned resin are three of the most character rich materials in traditional cutlery, all detailed in our knife handle materials guide. In the Finch Knife Company lineup, the Cherry Bomb is the one that proves a knife can be sentimental and serious at the same time.
