The Mudbug!

[symphonyincminor]

Just came across this knife when I peeked at the GEC production schedule and saw these are coming in Feburary to Smith and Sons.

Been looking to add a large Sodbuster pattern to my collection and this one ticks all the boxes..... 1095, variety of micarta handle materials, and should be affordable to boot. Knowing it's made by GEC means it's going to be a high quality piece.... real workhorses for sure!

And my favorite..... black linen micarta:

So.... who else is excited about these?

Looks like a bullnose that locks.

The pattern is GEC's #21, normally called the Bull Buster, which is larger than the Bull Nose (#71). But yes, it's basically a lock-back Bull Buster.

They go quick, check often and not many pop up on the exchange.
The only one I have, was snagged here and I live about 15 minutes from their shop.

I wish they made them the size of of bull nose, but I like them...!

Not huge fan of the pattern, but the scales colour of the first one is just gorgeous... looks like a fading caramel... definately must get a knife like this...

 

[ConBon]

looks like a real nice work knife. I find my case sodbuster is big enough for just about everything I do, so I wont be buying one. I'd like to see the hayn helper made in a lockback with that nice orange brown micarta though.

The Mudbug makes its appearance about half way through this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/970292-Sodbuster-and-lots-of-them!

Lots of photos. I have a green micarta Mudbug and wouldn't mind getting my hands on another.

Here's another thread dedicated to them as well:

I have a couple. The paper micarta is a regular user (pics in the thread above). I sent a green one off to glennbad for some bolsters & jigged bone scales , hopefully coming down the grapevine before too long!

This is a closed thread but will give you an idea as to how they hold up in trying conditions.

Personally, I'd rather see them made with a liner lock.

Now that's something I could go for as well. Mini Mudbug.

I need a black one to fill collection of Mudbugs

 

[RobertJ1]

I really like the looks of the Natural Linen Micarta in the OP's thread. May have to find one.

 

[Biggie_Robs]

It's a nice knife, and I appreciate my black micarta mudbug all the time.

This is Gold right here.

I have a Red linen micarta one, and I like it very much. Black linen up next though.
