I just received a new Case Sod buster Jr. in Carbon Steel but don't feel much like showing it off.
Arrived off-centered, with slight blade play and some scratches on the show side of the blade. I don't think any one of these issues would be a deal breaker, although I must admit the side-to-side play is annoying. I suppose it's the combination of all these issues that has me considering a return![]()
What am I loving here?

Agreed. I have a mini copper lock which has been absolutely fantastic. It still had some side to side play when in the closed position, but was solid when in the open position. Sadly they are difficult to find at a brick and mortar in my neck of the woods. Don't think I will purchasing any more in the future.Sadly, that's all too common with Case these days. They are still capable of making a decent knife, but I would only buy one if I could inspect it in person.
You're probably right. It just really bugs me as I really like the knife otherwise. Keeping my fingers crossed that the return goes smoothly.If it bugs you now, it'll continue to bug you. Send it back.
