Before I became acquainted with the bullnose this Carl Schlieper was far and away my favorite soddie. I've been using them for at least 30 years. Bought my first one at the farm store in Hope. As to your question, the knife is slightly smaller than the bullnose and has no half/stop. The bullnose has a higher grade of finish, a little smoother and better blade centering ect.... But the Schlieper is a fine knife, feels good in your hand, strong pull and snap and can be made to shave in a heartbeat.

Nice one Brian :), The Chestnut bone Jr was my first sodbuster. I like the jigging on several of Cases Jr offering, If I could only collect them all :)

You won't regret the Masserin Plow :thumbsup:.

When I grab mine, open it and hold it I feel like Popeye after eating a can of spinach :D ... for real :).
It's a good feeling, you just want to go to work with it my friend. :thumbsup::cool:

Thanks! Mike really sent me a pretty one. :) I love Case's jigging! Easily my favorite mass produced jigging available and it gives a lot of custom jobs a run for their money. Really great stuff!

I'm super excited for the Plow! I just need to add another $7 or so to my cart so I can get that free shipping, lol. Hopefully my standby on the bloodwood half whittler goes through or the Case Copperhead CV makes it into his store soon so I can pull the trigger. :D

Wishing you good luck on the stand buy Brian :thumbsup:. That's how I got one of my GEC's from Mike.

Looks like the Plow has your name on it already and it's a matter of time … days maybe LOL ;) :cool:
 
We 've all heard stories of vintage cars found derelict in old barns.
I, for long wanted a Country Cousin, the one I already have being, and this is an euphemism, not the best example of Queen's work.
I appreciate yellow sodbusters, I have a yellow carbon Jr Case, an Imperial, and a Rough Rider. Even if not my Grail knife, I regret I could not get the yellow Jr sized Moore Maker.
So, I could not believe my eyes when I saw a new yellow Country Cousin for sale (along a Mountain man) in a smalll Belgian town's cutlery shop. Price was in par with Case (in Europe) and I ordered it last monday.
Wallonie is about 200km away (in fact much nearer than Thiers) and his inhabitants are well known for being jolly people.
This morning a smiling postman handed me a fairly large box and I was puzzled when it read ferments for ale... At least did it come from Belgium.
Inside was a small Queen box and a wooden cutting board (a bonus).
The best was yet to come : the CC is an early one with the cousin's face and hat etching, finish as fine as it gets, the exact opposite of the one I have already.

HI Jolipapa ... The CASE tang stamp only indicates issue of 2010-2019
This Sod Buster Jr is part of their American Workman Series
Don't remember exactly when I purchased it, but I think 4-5yrs ago
The blade is mirror polished and there may be reflections and shadows in the pictures
