Carbon Fiber Case Sodbuster has landed

I have a many of soddies and some I've paid high $ for but I'm just not sure at this time I can drop that kind of money on it. I also wish they would have added a lanyard hole.

The fit an finish is nice but you can see a ridge in the carbon fiber where the spring pin is on the handle, not a major issue for me but maybe to some.

I have been interested in this one since first reading about it, and this protrusion you mention is my only concern...it looks almost as if the carbon fiber has been displaced by the pin...I wonder how well the carbon fiber is going to hold up in that area under long term useage...
Not knocking it, just being curious...I think the carbon fiber aproach is a great idea for a modern Soddie.
Thanx for posting the pics :thumbup:
 
Gentlemen, I was just told that Case will discuss the possibility of using G10 or Micarta in the near future for their Sodbuster line.

Carbon Fibre... I like it... I'd be all over it if they would give it like M4.... M4 steel + Carbonfibre slipjoint.... Man can dream but that is definately a step towards knife I like :D
 
Carbon fiber bicycle frames... more expensive and not much if any lighter. Just a hype material for knives. Pretty yup! just wait until they start with all different weaves and then white and etc. When it's all done it'll still be a case knife w/plastic scales. I ain't buyin' it. I already sold my CF bike frame, I only have a real TRADITiONAL - "STEEL IS REAL" (CF isn't traditional)
 
I like it a lot, though when I think carbon fiber I think more modern. Hey, if Case can compete than all the power to them. IIRC, the price for the CF Sodbuster was still less than my Spyderco Terzuola which is carbon fiber and a slipjoint (and one of my favorite "modern" knives).

I think you'd need to go custom for that combination. It would be nice though.

treytrec: I also have a Otter Soddie (or Hippeskniep as we call it here), it has mighty wooden handles which are comfortable to use the knife.

Here is the difference of the handle thickness

I hope you know, why I said "mighty" ;)

Back to topic: I like the shape of the carbon fiber handles. They make it more to a gentleman´s folder than to a working horse. I hope it will serve you well for work.

Enjoy yours :)

Kind regards

Love that Hippeskniep! I always used to take some 500 paper and 0000 steel wool and smooth off the wood handles and rub in a nice linseed oil finish. Makes the old work knife look great. If Case has to offer an optional handle on a sodbuster, I'd take a wood one in a heartbeat. It's THE traditional handle for the European roots of the knife pattern.

Case did make a wood handle sodbuster jr for their Kentucky bi-centennial series.I scored one on the bay, I'll post a pic of it later today. It would be nice to see them back in production.

+1 on that! I would order a wood handled Soddie in a heartbeat!
 
Thank you guys! :)

It´s really a very nice knife, I really use it as a working knife. It will still last some time, but my 2000 post will come - I hope you know what I mean ;) ;)

As much as I know and have seen til now - wood is most prefered handles on german traditional knives. Next to stag.

Kind regards
Andi

Great Rolf, post some pics when she lands! I'm still waiting on that Red Rucarta version from A.G Russell!
 
I haven't seen or heard anything from A.G. on the red rucarta cowboy and rancher other than what you have posted. I'm getting anxious!!:D
