Actually I placed a $5 bid on it. (Yes, I already kenw it was a counterfeit). My goal was to take it out of circulation. I also contacted the seller and told him it was a counterfeit. My goal was to add it to my Scout knife collection as an "oddity". Unfortunately I was out bid and I have no intention on spending more for a fake. If you want it is still up for bids:
360627406444
I'm not interested in spending $7.00 +$3.95 for shipping on a fake Case.
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.
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.
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.............
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)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Those are really nice Max! I like them! Is that a genuine pearl on the bottom? That is fantastic! I need to get a 33 Small Stockman in pearl. The middle one, is that Chestnut Bone or Walnut Bone? I've never had a blue bone knife, but that is about to change
I might be getting a silver script next week....a 75 Stockman......and/or a 33 Small Stockman.
Got a 33 small Stockman in Lacewood!! I've never seen anything like it. An almost strange kind of wood. Looks like it has a disease! LOL! Very cool though. I'll try to take some pictures in a day or two....we're in the middle of getting ready for a new air conditioner and furnace.
hey one thingi stil new at is to where to ask for knives tat i need...but being this is case.....anyone who has amb bon pieces i nned a few to fin set...if you wanna part with them ,please feel free to hit me up!!!....ML-IKC!
Craig, as long as you have been around knives, I just assumed you were already a member. Congrats for joining. I finally decided to be a lifetime member a couple of years ago. I got tired of having to remember to pay my dues evert year.
Thanks for the Welcome to the CCC! Don't know why I never joined when they first started it. Except in those years I was sooo involved in Schrade knives. And then in later years......I have no idea.
Yeah I guess a lifetime membership would be better. Maybe next year.
I was a Regular Member for the first year and when it came time to renew I just did the upgrade to Life Member. It just makes it easier for me, plus when it comes time to buy Annual Club Knives Life members can buy all three or any of the three or Regular can buy Regular and Life member can get his Lifer Number put on for the serial number, and don't forget the secret handshake!
NO, I'm not rich.....I just buy knives like I am. And these dang Case knives are like candy.....or potato chips......or something. All I know is I can't stop buying them. Sheesh. It's gonna slow down now though. My spending money out of the tax refund is gone. I have knives to show for it. I feel one with the world.
Tony Bose/Ida Reid Tour with Special Guest: Alex Rutledge, Bloodline Outdoors TV Shepherd Hills 600 Outlet Avenue Eddyville, KY 42038 May 18, 2013
You just can’t “not have fun” at the Tony Bose/Ida Reid Tour. There’ll be great stories, great specials, and a great limited edition event knife---the Bose/Reid Tour Trapper, shown above. We got the prototype in, and we think it’s arguably the best Bose/Reid knife ever. Beautifully done in the smooth chestnut on the Bose side, smooth natural bone on the Reid side, it’d be a beauty if we just stopped there. But, this knife is embellished with * the laser engraved autographs of Tony Bose and Ida Reid * special engraving on the bolster * Shepherd Hills Tour 2013 etch on the blade * and the signature Tony Bose shield
Limited to only 100 pieces, you must be in attendance to be assured of getting one of these Case knives, but we are taking reservations now. $ 79.99 each, limit one per person. Click here to reserve.http://www.casexx.com/News/
