Sodbuster...and lots of them!

Congrats Bighaze! Welcome to the club! Post some pics when you get the new pants on that old Case!

Any fans of the Case Jr. in jigged rosewood? I haven't been able to find one locally to get my hands on and I'm on the fence about ordering one unseen.

It is a very slim yet robust knife. The handle is amazingly pleasant to work with. Go ahead! Search the Internet you'll find a dealer. If not I can pm you the address.

It looks like those rosewood handles are a bit thicker than bone but not as thick as the delrin. I ordered one just to check it out. Thanks for the pic.
 
I just ordered a #71 Tortoise Shell Acrylic. Hope that puppy ships in a hurry.
 
In past runs the handles of GEC 71s in Nifebrite have been thinner in cross section than the others. Is that still the case? Mostly curious if the Tortoise shell & Sunbrites are thin.
 
Just got my green micarta 71 bullnose in the mail today, and I AM TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!! For the cost of the knife I cannot believe the fit n finish/quality. GEC has upped the game. I own about twenty GEC knives and I love them all but my jaw dropped at how awesome these knives are, I had wished I bought several. I have always wanted a sodbuster type knife, have passed on several and I am now kicking myself for not getting one of these sooner. The walk and talk is fantastic, pull is about an 8, but I can still pinch it open. GEC also has changed the blade grind, it is very sharp out of the tube. I love this knife, right into the pocket. Now I have to track down a couple more before they are gone. This is a great work knife.

I had the same reaction when I got my first Bull Nose. A Maroon Micarta from last years run. It quickly became my favorite EDC knife and I'm carrying it now. This picture is when it was new.

I carry a Bull Buster #21 every day on the weekend in my back pocket. They too are very well made and very usable. Hopefully this year I'll get my first Bullnose and try it out.

Don't know for sure, but they appear to be thinner than the delrins. I've just ordered that tortoise shell....my first in that handle material. Great looking knife.
 
have the 71 Red linen micartas been posted on KSF yet? I assume I've missed my opportunity.
 
Man this a great knife! Here are some pics of my new Bullnose.
Would love to see some new natural canvas micarta pics if anyones got them.

Jeff
that is one beautiful knife and you inspired me to get out my old Case and clean it up and touch up the edge. Working on it now:D

These look pretty good.

Well, I Just ordered my red linen micarta bullnose, and I"ll post a picture as soon as it comes in next week. Their site said they had about 25 left. Strike now, while the proverbial iron is hot!
