Knutbusters. Gentlemen, it makes me sick that you have those extraordinary knifes. Envy is killing me. And the one you have camagong....Good your fare away from here as I could kill for a knife like that.

No more joking around.

I have a Case yeller sodbuster jr CV. I have only had it less than 2 weeks but I can tell I realy apriciate the knife. Probobly the most useful singleblade pattern Ive seen. Simple but classy and tooly. With a lot lower edgeangle than it arrived with its now a highstandard cuttingtool, I dont consider the edge fragile even when thin. And the yellow plastic is Kind of oldtimey in its feeling. Beautifull bleached coulour hard to describe but absolutly a plastic material far from sheap massprodused looks.

MorrowJ_98. Could you please post some specs on that great looking Kerry Hampton KHNutbuster, the one with the jigged bone (?) scales and Keystone eschuceon, and the drp point carbon steel (?) blade. Thanks. John

This is not my pic, but I own the knife now. If you took this pic, let me know - I dig it.


I did my first forced patina on one of these (not shown) by sticking it in an apple for a few hours. Looks very much like Ivan's, a couple of posts above.

Here ya go....

3 5/8 '' closed...not sure of overall length. I'll measure when I get home.
Blade and back spring are both A2.
The bone was dyed by T. Bose I believe and jigged by Kerry.
The blade is a modified wharncliffe referred to in the Wilfred Works world as a "zulu spear."

It really is a great knife.....when my number came up with Kerry we talked about the look and feel I wanted. Kerry nailed it right down to the Pa. shield that he made.

Morrowj_98. Thanks, I appreciate your answer and for showing that exceptionally nice knife. John

I've cut up 3 apples with my knife since I got it and I've really got some patina starting, not forced patina, all natural. I always use my pocket knife on my apples. I think I might pick up a sodbuster in D2 jsut for fun.

Agreed! I love the CV steel. I dropped the point on mine with a Harbor Freight belt sander, and like the profile much more - a little more pointy like the Queens.

Sorry.

Hahahaha, pun intended indeed.

My latest addition. Really pleased with this one once I got a proper edge on it. Walk and talk is about perfect.
I just realized it looks like I stole this pic from stockman242! Not intentional!

I'm gonna have to agree with Neeman. This is the working man's knife. I say this because everything about it reeks "workhorse". It's got the wide profile blade which gets nice and thin by the blade, abd allows lots of steel for years of sharpening and use. It's rugged construction means it can take a lickin and keep on tickin. The springs have just the right amount of walk and talk to make one feel safe and secure with it. It's rounded handle makes it extremely comfortable to hold and use for an extended period of time if need be (at least the Case does. It's the only one I can speak on). And it's simple design is extremely appealing for someone who plans on using it and not worrying if it gets scratched or dented. And it's small enough and non-threatening enough to use and carry everyday without scaring anyone. Plus at around $20 dollars, you just can't go wrong.
