My days of working for a little-known government agency with a three letter acronym are behind me. :D I'm an office worker these days, but not in management. The original post said people wearing Armani down to jeans. I can't afford Armani but I do wear jeans from time to time. Only thing missing is the soddie. But I have some other Case yeller CV knives, just no pics of 'em yet.

Ok, OK guys, I guess I will use some lotion before my next "hand modeling" job! In my defense I use a lot of paint solvents daily.

Which when you think about it fits the character of a good old Case Sodbuster. It's very roots are those of working man's knife. So it's a contextual portrait.

I ain't too sure about these other fellows trying to sneak in with all these non-soddies. ;) Sort of reminds me of that Dr. Scholl's commercial a few years back where everyone is saying, "You gellin? I'm gellin." and the one guy tries to join in by saying, "I'm gellin." The others look at each other and say, "Nahhh. He's not gellin." :D

Though Jackknife gets the red carpet rolled out for that beyond awesome handbuilt. That's sort of a master key to all the clubs.

The Case Yellow Delrin Soddie Jr. with CV steel is sort of the ultimate challenge coin of the traditional knife corps. Doesn't hurt that as a working knife it's also a darned good one. Even if you don't like the way it carries for you or prefer something else (guilty of both) it's just one of those essentials that touches on the very core essence of what a working man's traditional knife is in a simple, straightforward form.

You, Mr. Warfield, picked up on that right away and are to be congratulated. So depending on the perspective you either have a bright and impoverished future ahead of you (ours) or you have just started down the path to ruin (a common spousal position). You can now say to others about the madness, "It's okay. They know me here."
 
All right, I get the point. I don't like the Sod Buster pattern, and am unlikely to buy one. If I did, it would be the Queen Country Cousin, but I've stared and stared at them and the "buy" signal is never triggered. I won't try to sneak into this particular club with my overly fancy knives.
 
I guess I am a 8 pointer in the Buck Snort society.

IF you are attracted to that yellow delrin 301 better get one off a shelf as they are discontinued.

My wife just looked through these responses and chuckled. She then wanted to see my knife again and said "your blade don't shine!"
Women, I guess even after 35 years she still don't understand.

Just put on your best Clint Eastwood gunslinger or John Wayne face and say, "Shiney don't cut. Sharp does." :D

Ya gotta say "pilgrim" at the end!

Sorry, I just got done watching The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.:D
 
Well, I know what he rode. At least once. :D



But I don't think he'd be carrying a sodbuster. More like some form of cattleman or stockman's knife. I doubt he'd allow a sheepfoot blade anywhere near it. lol.

However, I just looked up and found that in the first part of Big Jake he's carrying an auto opening knife. :eek:

It would make sense if you were trying to cut yourself out of a rope or strap tangle when you and your horse got all cattywompus.

Get some patina on those Sodbusters! Cut some apples, oranges, steaks.... do food prep..... stick it in a potato.

Or force it with some hot vinegar! ;)

Bob - Nice knife, but you need to get some lotion! ;)

I'm not a member of the Secret Society of the Sodbuster (SSS) but I am a card carrying member of the Small Texas Jack Assocation.

I'll join the second one there. And it's less a membership card and more of a deep patina:)
