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.

Speaking of 5-blade Sowbellys................

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!

I'm waiting on the Amber jigged bone from Case.

I know this is blasphemy but I kind of prefer the locking Soddy from Rough Rider to the Case.  sure wish Case would come out with a locking one again.  (running for cover)

Got my new Case Sod Buster! I gotta say, from what I can remember, comparing it to my old one (which I don't have anymore) I had from around 1976-77, this one seems just as good, if not better! 

No blade play. Blade is pretty centered, thought that's not a big no-no with me as long as it's not hitting the liner. But this time around the blade is razor sharp out of the box! No touch up needed!  I feel like a whole man again.............

To be clear.....my "So sad that stuff goes on." comment wasn't in reference to an honest seller, but about counterfeiters. I despise counterfeiters.

As I said, he was upfront in his description.  He even asked if i wanted to retract my bid when I contacted him.  I told him I was bidding with my eye-wide open I was more concerned with him getting negative feedback if someone who was too stupid to read his description won the bid decided to give negative feedback.  I too have bought from him on several occasions and have always been happy.  He is one of the good ones!  So you now have two thumbs up for the seller.

I must say that I greatly appreciate this seller. Bill ("Sportscolb"; "Dusty Duck") is a member of IKC and I know he is perfectly honest; he tries to give descriptions as accurate as possible, and he deserves his 100% positive feedback.
