SODBUSTERS... bust 'em out, work 'em hard and show 'em off

Same old Otter.

Does anyone know anything about the wood handled liner lock Sod Buster with the Alyseka pipeline etch? It is P 138 LSS.

I have this one on the way and it looks like the etch is gone as it's been used but has a Delta Camp engraving on the handle. From google I found that Delta Camp was a camp on the pipeline but cannot find any information about these knives other that a forum post saying they made 500 of them. I'm curious if Case did only make 500 and if they were given to employees, certain camps on the pipeline, sold like normal, etc..

This is not my knife or photo, but the gent who owns it inherited it from his deceased great uncle who obviously got a lot of use out of it! Anyone recognize the makers mark? View attachment 1733238View attachment 1733239

I can’t help with the blade stamp, but I will say I think that one’s been sharpened a time or two. 😉

Can't think of a better use for a Sod Buster knife than making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I don’t know, I kind of like to cut stuff with mine. 😉😁

Seems like this gets mentioned around here every now and then, usually with regards to some broad spear point blade, and I have to say, I’ve never understood the desire to use a pocket knife to spread peanut butter. I think a regular old butter knife is a better tool for the job in just about every way, and I can’t think of the last time I found myself with a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly and a loaf of bread and I wasn’t in or near a kitchen where I could just grab something that would work better and be much easier to clean. It’s like frosting a cake with your pocket knife. Could you? Sure, but why would you?

No, I don't normally spread peanut butter with my pocket knives. It was meant as a fun post. Just as someone might scratch a name on a knife and send it around the world for fun.;):) But you can bet your sweet bippy that if I had a jar of peanut butter and only a pocket knife to spread it, I'd sure use the pocket knife and failing that, I'd just stick my finger in the jar and go from there.

I sure like that choice of steel! Had no idea they made a run with that steel.

I wish GEC would do more variations with their steel types. I did mention this to Mr. Howard in 2020 and he did not seem interested in ever doing anything other than the current steels that they have been using. I can understand that. They sell all the knives they can make and I’m sure his machines are geared to using 1095.
 
Some smooth synthetics. I still need a yellow with an etch and a John Deere light green synthetic which I'm having trouble finding.

The two bottom reds are interesting because they look the same but technically aren't. The colors are smooth red and American Workman Red and while the color looks the same the blade finish is noticeably different between the two.
