Never said it was a problem or was I whining about anything. Just asked about blade tip taper, belly, pointy-ness comparison between the Sod Buster and Jr. Nothing to do with sharpness or dissatisfaction with the Sod Buster's at all. Guess I'll just have to buy a full size Sod Buster to answer my question
... Apparently I have no aversion to buying new knives either LOL
Excuse my whining...
To me, it has nothing to do with blade sharpness or how pointy the tip is.
It has more to do with a Sodbusters point being too high and hidden behind the big belly of the blade... making it harder to get the tip into the cutting material.
I believe that's why people are mistaken when they ask if the large model has more of a point, rather they should ask if the large version has less belly.
Edit... See above pictures, the Maserin has less belly but the spine and tip are pretty much identical.
Began my diet journey last Monday myself. Good luck!Happy Monday all. Going on a diet and trying to eat more fruit...so naturally I grabbed the fruit knife.
No problem with that, and the 86 is particularly nice. Haven't seen many of the micarta version out in the wild.
Went with both instead of either/or. It felt like the natural thing to do.
Aren’t those Vipers great knives and then Being gifted with being the 2020 Bladeforums knife adds to the awesomenessHope she's traditional enough...
...and that we see another one like her but with a lambsfootby the end of the year!
Great duo you have today Jack; a sweet Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot and a super cool "metal Monday" Burma knife, outstanding!Wishing everyone a good weekStarting mine with my Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot SFO, and a Metal Monday 1955 Burma Knife from J.H. Thompson.
Thank you. I’m working on some more.Great carries fellas, and some absolutely beautiful photos, thanks for sharing!
For sure. We went on a hike this morning and my son said it was so cool he would remember it for a long time.Fun times, and great memories.

Haha... I see what you did there.
I’m glad a couple noticedGreat selection Jon, and a nice pun to boot!
I’m sure it was a real knee slapper Thanks. There are nicer 86’s out there for sure, but the micarta with the wrench shield is the perfect one for me.

All the ladies loved the lady’s fancy pearl knife.Hahaha!Old "ladies knives", or "old lady's" knives?
I will point out, that pearl pen knives were also carried by some men. Watch fob knives or quill knives for office work, etc.
The first Case Sodbuster I got was the original. When I got around to getting a jr, I was shocked at how small it felt. And yes, in profile, it is more rounded. But like Ed said, it still works.Modoc ED , I've only ever owned Sod Buster Jr's. That full size Sod Buster looks like the blade tip is more pointy than on the Jr.
Is it noticeably more pointy or have you profiled the blade to be more pointy? ... or maybe it's an optical illusion LOL.
Great duo you have today Jack; a sweet Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot and a super cool "metal Monday" Burma knife, outstanding!
Many thanks JJ, it's great to see that stunning pair againI'm starting out the week with this abalone sowbelly and a WWII Navy jack.
