"Ha!! Learning something new every day. :)
I did not know for sure what was meant by the bird's eye pivot. I was thinking bird's eye maple (Why in the world would anyone use wood as a pivot?).
When I looked them up I…"

Where is a good place to shop for GEC? I'm a huge fan of the Case Slimline trapper (048) pattern and am told GEC's slimline is pattern 048 as well. I've seen some great pics of the GEC slims and…Continue

"I can understand not putting the birdseye on some of the handle materials, but a smooth one like the burlap simply cries out for one."

"I don't totally disagree with you JJ, but as someone who likes to tinker with them....it's much easier with the 3/32" pin...LOL. But yes, the birdseye pivot is very much a part of the soddy history and gives them that eclectic…"

"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."
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Craig Henry's discussion Case SodBuster in the group Case Fans
"New from the Case Collectors Club, limited to only 25 pieces. Red burlap micarta handles with a black oval shield and First Production Run scrolling on the blade. Nice piece for the collection."

"Glad you found it Ron! "
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Ron Deter's discussion Help have a caseXX stumper!
"I believe to be the mini trapper, '07 pattern. But that's pretty much all I know. I have however reached out to folks on another Forum to help get more information. I'll share as it come's through."
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Ron Deter's discussion HELP! what is it?? in the group Case Fans
"I'd say it's definitely an '07 pattern mini trapper at that length. The series I'm referring to had no bolsters at all. Not sure why no pattern stamp, but that's not a huge deal either. Here's a…"
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Ron Deter's discussion Help have a caseXX stumper!
"I replied over on the Case Fans thread too. This was a series that came out in the 90's, I compare them to the "lite" series that Buck has. Looks like yours is a "mini trapper", or an '07 pattern. Look…"
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Ron Deter's discussion HELP! what is it?? in the group Case Fans
"Looks to be a mini trapper. They did series with those handles back in the 90's. There should be a stamp on the back of the tang with numbers on it.....not sure of the first number but it the other numbers will be 107. Unless…"
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Mike Bryant's discussion SMKW Price Increase
"That's a great reply Lars. I'm in a similar boat as Mike, but haven't decided to jump ship yet. I buy what I feel I can afford and what appeals to me. I used to buy alot more because of pricing and also…"
KnifeMakerAndy Larrison replied to Mike Bryant's discussion SMKW Price Increase
"I saw several complaints about this very thing from the release of the PBJ canoe last week. The price jumped like 10 - 15 bucks the day of the drop.
FYI: The PBJ folding hunter is dropping Wednesday, 4/9/25 at 10 am EST.....good luck."
