Okay, I got those in my grubby little mitts......now, what's next? LOL!
Toby, that old Case Sod Buster looks like it's ready for more work now! Good job!
Clint, for the record, I rarely use knives as pry bars. (that's what screwdrivers are for!) However, i have more than one knife try to fold up on me when I've needed to stab or poke something. That is where the lock blades come in handy. Again, right tool for the right job. I can see why people love the soddy. Its just a good all around single blade knife.
Tobias...
I too like to rescue old quality knives. It is fun to bring them back from the brink. My last Case I rescued is a double bladed hunter. It was in some kind of bad shape. I soaked it and had to use the moto-tool to make it right. I love this old knife.
Tobias...
The Sodbuster will only close on you if you get to prying around with it. As we all know pocket knives are not made for prying. If you open a can of beans it could close as well if you are not careful. Yes you an do this and it will not hurt this knife. Cardboard will dull the blade faster. I explained this to Eddie the Navy Seal who loves the Pro-Tech autos. Pro-Tech sells the TR3 to the Navy and in particular the Navy Seals. Eddie took his small Pro-Tech Don Tuxedo and tried to "Pop" (his word) something off. He snapped the point right off. I gave him mine (I miss my Tuxedo) to replace it. It is the least I could do for what Eddie has had to endure for the last 13 years as a Seal. Our first article should be out the first of March.
My only Case Sodbuster (also a Soddy Jr.) It was rescued from a box of junk knives. When I found it, the blade was almost frozen shut with rust. Coon P and elbow grease brought it back to life. Appears to be an old 6 dot. The other knife is yellow comp USA Schrade middleman stockman. Both are "rescue knives" but still have another generation of life as EDCs.
That's a nice one Toby, but, I think I'll stick to my good buddy the Case Sod Buster Jr ;)
Actually, I generally prefer a knife without a lock. Plus the back spring on this Case Sod Buster Jr is strong enough I think I'd really have to abuse it for it to close on me.
Also, there's just something about a Case Sod Buster. Maybe because it was my first true Case love?
Now that I have it it's like old home week.....I can't stop playing with it!
