Sodbuster...and lots of them!

[Travman]

That is probably the best looking blade I've seen that has been sharpened that much! If it's not to thick from being that high up the blade, I bet it would be an excellent slicer!

It was super easy to sharpen and shaves hair after a few minutes with my Spyderco Sharpmaker. It is a little thicker up near the top of the blade, but I was surprised at how well it slices. I had been using it in the kitchen until my wife banished it. It now resides in my garage toolbox where it handles garage and yard chores.

It's been too long since I've posted in these parts so I figured that I would show my favorite pattern some love.

Nothing new here. Of course the jewel of the group is the Tortoise Shell Bull Nose SFO by the late Bob Andrews

Nice group, Ed! I agree with you about Bob's Tortoise Shell SFO. It's definitely a special knife.

 

[Modoc ED]

That's a nice one Barrett.

Dead ringers for the Case sodbuster patterns - my first sodbuster loves. I dig that smooth bone, looks like butterscotch candy.

Dude, I'm in love with the look of that one. Custom? Production? Production with custom scales? I gotta know the deets, man!

Especially happy about this little bit:

Newest Sod Buster Jr. This one is blue composite and I've one in orange composite on the way.

I had bought this for my father a few years ago, it rotated back to me. Very nice array of knives everyone

Bob and I traded two of each other's SFOs when we ran them a couple of years ago. I think it was his first SFO with GEC, he was really excited about them, as was I. I'm glad I have a few to remember him by.

This simple design grows on you fast and before long it’s hard to get it out of your pocket.

Here's my newest Sodbuster, a Maserin Plow in Bocote wood and D2 steel from CK.

Now, as Mike has already explained, the F&F on these isn't the best; there are gaps between the spring and the liners, the spine of the blade sits well below the back of the spring when the knife is open, and out of the box the action was very gritty. But the Bocote wood looks really nice, the action smoothed out a lot with just a couple shots of Ballistol (decided to go with that instead of mineral oil for an initial flush, which I think worked out well), and the factory edge is razor sharp. All in all, I think this will be a sweet little slicer, and it's hard to complain about the price, especially for D2 steel.

Tough to beat a Sodbuster!

This orange composite Sod Buster Jr. showed up yesterday. Always room for one more.

I have a mess of Case soddies in route to the house to add to the collection! I'll be posting some pics in the next week of the new additions as well as some others that I've been meaning to snap pics of. The yellow bone Moore Makers are up to the top of my favorite handle of all my soddies.
