This farmers son and moonshine peasant now own a sodbuster.
Thanks to the help from mnblade Im now in posession of a yellow CV sodbuster jr.
Even if I dont had the shance to try it much I want to tell you how good it feels to have one. This is a knife that has drawn my attention for years actually. Bouth from fictures of everything from procuktion to custom knutbusters and from people like Jackknife writing about them in the most inspiering way.
This pattern feels more European then for instance the stockman or trapper. Its a plain and simple cuttingtool, as simple construkted as a slipjoint can be made, in a way, but a sofisticated cuttingtool never the less. Im impressed from the simple way yet sturdyness of construktion. The brass liners together with (what I think is) delrin plastic scales make it a durable workhorse and the metall inlay for the pivot pin looks very insuring for strength. I think that this knife has a great balance between construktion of handle and the thickness of the metall in the blade.
The knife came to me sharp but had to visit the stones for some thinning of edge and last tuning of sharpness. I feel a longing for the mountains as I indeed think this is a knife for cleening fish and smallgame. And as the farmers son I grew up to be Im absolutly sertain about it as a fullworhty workknife for the farm.
For now its also EDC in town but Im kind of partial to more fancy knifes like my Case stockman for that use. The pocketsize is just about perfect. Not very heavy, or uncomfortable long but has a lot of cutting potential. If I were to import a slipjoint to sell in this godforgetten land this would be the one, but stainless. Lots of pockets here in Sweden that could benefit of a content like the small sodbuster.
