Bear lockback jr., bad fit and finish. Rough Rider linerlock, nice fit and finish, but scales show wear very quickly. Case jr. carbon steel, sharpest out of the box. Boker jr., very weak backspring. Queen jr., nice blade shape, but you will need diamonds with D2. EyeBrand jr. has thin scales.

Shepard Hills Cutlery has several offerings of Case sodbusters on their web-site.

I've been considering the one they have in the American Workman scales. I never knew sodbusters came as big as 4 5/8ths closed (IIRC). But they have smaller sodbusters in different handle materials.

my apologies for my rant referring to authorities & regulations in general. it stems from massive in justices when i was young & should not be in the forum at all.

Case Black handle at Lowes is a great buy. I usually pick 1 up every year just to support Case and keep Lowes carrying a good user knife.
