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

[SharpBits]

Both of my last two Crossroads Sodbusters have had frustratingly unfinished edges. The denim blue one actually had a fuzzy edge (lots of burrs) and the latest orange/red on has a significant burr. Clearly seems like they are missing the final step in sharpening. It's an easy fix, but not one that the customer should be doing. It's a shame because both knives are really nice otherwise.

Does anyone know if the S35vn sodbuster jr is as slicey as standard (truesharp or cs) models? The blade looks a lot more chunky. The thin blade on the Sodbuster JR is one of the things I love about mine

Blade stock on the XR is a bit thicker

Not carried often enough but definitely my favorite soddy.

I also just got my crossroads. My ss SB is hollow ground, the crossroads has thicker stock, but also Has a flat face and is much thicker behind the edge.

Me too, but my CS seahorse whittler wasn't much better.

Actually, I don't see much difference, if any. (I have only one S35V) Possibly edge lasts longer, but I don't use mine.

Yes, in a very competitive market you think they would stride to do better, it is an easy fix as you say, but should not leave the factory like that.

Rfp today!!

Nice ED, i must admit this colour is a colour i am warming to. But very hard to get here, have tracked one down at a good price which is a feat in itself, but really wish it was in CS and not SS. Have a good week mate.
