Recently removed the original black covers and replaced them with European red stag on this 1972 Case Sodbuster. Original covers can be seen lying to the left of the knife.
I really think that CASE kicked themselves when they removed the birdseyes from the majority of the Sodbuster line. They're just so iconic especially when they don't have a shield.

I do love the rehandle job, Andy.
Beautiful set of scales but I kinda miss the birdseye pivot.

Thanks JJ. I'd planned on the birds eye, but the ones I had were the wrong size so I went with a large brass pin instead.
