Because I seldom, if ever, have an original cool thought, I've learned over the years of my journey to pay attention to what the cool folks do.

Last week, I think, Thomason (I'm a self-confessed Thomason groupie) was talking about how his Case Sodbuster Jr. gets so much pocket time, and he even showed a picture of it if I remember correctly.

Fast forward to today (payday):

After obsessing all week about how to improve my character, I decided to default to my old trusty axiom "pay attention to what the cool folks do", and so I meandered over to my neighborhood brick and mortar hardware store and copped me a new Case Sodbuster, Jr. Out of the box it was very sharp, and after about a dozen strokes on the grey flats of my sharpmaker, it is screamin' for jerky. :eek:

I've actually had several Case soddies over the years, but all of them "slipped" away somehow, and it has been quite awhile since I had one in pocket. How could you not love a knife like this?

I'm good to go now, and feeling pretty cool, I must say. :)

Shame on you for not having one like Rob in the first place.:D:D
But happy that you have joined the folksy group that loves Case Soddies.
May the Folksy be with you.

Congrats, Ford. Great knife and great image. Man, have I got a tackle box you'd have some fun lookin' through.
 
I actually just got a Soddie in CV from them too! Sweet knife, and a steel for the price!
 
Very cool picture. I have a sodbuster jr and it is a good knife that doesn't get alot pocket time cuz I'm so into trappers now.
 
Now I want to be like fewpop. I want a yellow sodbuster jr., and with it I'll whittle me miniature canoe, and buy an old bass slayer fishing lure and take me some cool pictures. Great knife, great photo!!!

When you think about it, the sodbuster is the most classic of the traditional patterns. Most of what we call the traditional pocket knives actually have a relitively short history, with most having origins in the mid to late 19th century. The sodbuster on the other hand has a history in Europe that goes back many hundreds of years in the simple single blade peasents or shepards knife. There were knives very similar made in easten europe in the 1400's.

The soddie just may be the great grandaddy of all our pocket knives. It was not untill after the industrial revelution that tool specialiaztion trickled down to pocket knives.
 
It is not an easy thing to do to be folksy and cool at the same time. If you are having trouble being both then a Case CV sodbuster Jr will solve all your problems. A sodbuster in your pocket will make you a cross between The Fonz and Will Rogers.
 
Thomason, like Will Rogers, never met a Sodbuster he didn't like. Fortunately for me, he was kind enough to send this one my way some time back...

My last avatar was Woody Guthrie. Woody was certainly folksy and pretty cool for a folk singer, labor organizer, dust bowl balladeer and communist.
But thanks to fewpop, my latest avatar is the coolest and the most folksy ever.
 
Apropos of the sodbuster theme, I received this large Moore Maker Sodbuster (Camillus) today from Kenny of Sooner State Knives. I had been wanting to add a larger sodbuster to my yellow handled Case Sodbuster, Jr. (CV) and the Queen pictured above. After reading some of the "issues" some folks have had with Moore Maker, I was relieved that both knife and included sheath passed muster. Nice to have a large American made Sodbuster in 1095.

Now, I'm looking forward to that custom made Ingram to round out the sodbuster mania which seems to have afflicted some of us.
 
AhhhhNowwwwww DUDE!....a VERY cool and folksy pic for sure. Even the not so folksy Borat says, "Thumbs to Sodbuster bely good YES!"
