I bit over a week ago Duane, aka sitflyer on the forums, sent me a pm asking me for my address. A few days later this lovely Contento sodbuster arrived in my mailbox. Duane include a nice letter stating that he appreciated my dedication to the sodbuster pattern and wanted to add this beauty to the collection so it had a nice home. It now has lots of friends to hang out with over here at my place:D Needless to say, Duane's generosity is very humbling and greatly appreciated! The generosity and camaraderie of many of he members here in the traditionals never ceases to amaze me...:)

So i tried to research the knife a bit. From what I could dig up the knife was probably made in the Carl Schlieper factory Germany during the late 70's or 80's. The Blade seems to be carbon steel since it has some patina spots. I don't know if the handles are acrylic or some sort of plastic, I couldn't find any info on what they used for their colorful handles. As you can see it has some beautiful colors and some metallic flake in the handles that really sparkle when light hits. She's a big sodbuster, not the smaller kind like the case sodbuster jr. It feels good in the hand and would be a true work horse capable of many task. So thanks again Duane, you rock bro:thumbup: Here are a few pics

Typically generous act from our man Sitflyer. Nice work Duane :)

Hope your new Soddie is happy with all its new friends Trev! :D
 
Great looking Soddie, Trev :) The knife seems to be well made and well finished at all.

Great act of generosity, Duane. You are one of the best here in Trad :)
 
Them's some seriously jazzy scales!

Great gesture Duane.

I hope you enjoy it trevytrev.
 
Never having heard of "Contento" before, I read your subject header and anticipated seeing a "contento sodbuster" akin to mucho bocote-- just, a happy sodbuster. :D

That's really cool! A standout in its own right, and a fine addition to your collection. I look forward to seeing it amongst its brethren.

Nice going, both of you. :)

Glad you like it Tev! I had that one out on the bench in the garage, and one day as I was slicing down some cardboard boxes, ( a task which it excelled at) I thought about your interest in " different" Soddies, and it just hit me that perhaps it would be happier amongst your herd. I'm glad I trusted my hunch :)
 
Well, that's certainly unlike any sodbuster I've ever seen! What a cool addition to your stable of soddies, Trevor! Nice work, Duane!
 
Thanks everyone and big thanks Duane:thumbup: It's not paracord but it does look like some sort of shoe lace pattern. It's definitely the snazziest soddie I own now!!
