Years ago I bought a knife from a French street market. It was very similar to a sodbuster. The blade took a reasonable edge, it had a good snap when opening and closing the knife, stainless steel, but for some reason I didn't like the thing.
Then I read here about how Sodbusters are so good, better than an Opinel some say (It must be good) better than sliced bread to hear some of you.
Well, I saw one for sale on the Bay. Better give it a try thinks I. It was a Case Sodbuster Jn in stainless. Can't go far wrong with a Case thinks I, so I buy it. It came today.
Think I'm in love :)
Never would have bought one except I trust your judgement on this forum.

Thanks Guys...I owe you one.
 
The sodbuster is a simple,sturdy pattern,and from what I've seen Case makes some of the best, enjoy your new knife!
 
Soddies are a great knife. Nice wide thin blade that has geometry for really slicing. Now you have to try one of the Eye-Brand yellow soddies with carbon steel. :thumbup:
 
Heheh, for all the fancy knives we love that old soddie pattern just grabs us. There is just some deep pleasure in handling and using a no pretense, straightforward tool that just goes about its business competently without a lot of fanfare.

Welcome to the club fellas!

A straitforward tool. You mean like a well blackened cast iron fry pan, a bamboo fishing pole, or a break open shotgun?:)

Yeah, simple is good!
 
Great pattern from a great company. Of course now you need a full size model and of course you need at least one in cv steel. And then you really need to try a Queen,and then.......Can you see a pattern here. later,ahgar
