The Case Sod Buster is an absolute classic. This one is the BIG version, over 8" open. That familiar straight back, low bellied skinning blade, easy to clean, and natural feeling handle design.
I knew an old farmer here in the county, said he only had 2 knives to carry. A Sod Buster on the farm, and a Sod Buster Jr for going to town. The long straight edge makes this knife a precision peeler and shaving whittler. The deep belly makes it a great slicer and skinner. The straight back keeps you aware of where the blade is, even when you can't see it. For work, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, the Case Sod Buster has been around so long because it's hard to beat!
