Nice set! Orange is a year-round color for me.

As someone whose favorite color is orange, I like it!

When I sold off my massive sodbuster collection the only one I kept is a persimmon orange bone.

Honest question, why do they all have a hole in the handle? Did they used to have shields there?

No. The handles/covers are fat but Case used the standard pins for the SBJ cover pins for the knives pictured.

Interesting! So the cover pins are just a bit sunken?

Yes. Look ay the bottom knife pictured and you can make out/see one of the short brass pins. If all the knives pictured were rotated just a tad to the viewer, all the short pins could be seen. Most of them have been covered during hafting stage..

Got tired of waiting for apples to add the patina I wanted, so, I did a little work and got this. I like it much better now…..I guess I should eat more apples.

Thanks for the info. To atone for getting things slightly off track here’s a sodbuster pic
