Kaylin and I, along with my grandson, Nik, and son-in-law, Matt, made the 5 hour drive up to the Dalton show, this past weekend.

Case Sodbuster Jr 1 of 25
"I really like the sodbuster Jr.
Really nice knife for the pocket. What I miss, though, is the birdseye pivot. That pivot is what stands out on a soddie."
"Outstanding news, Amber.
Be sure to share a photo when it shows up."

"I don't know what I like best about that one, Dennis.

Or the Mexican silver."

"Been admiring your hat pins, Mike. Really cool.
