Good bang for the buck and excellent blade length/handle ratio.
I can get the D2 steel screaming sharp. I already had one from several years ago and I bought this one as a spare in case they no longer make these. One of the best deals out there.

Sweet and snappy little buster. Perfect centering and strong half-stop.
Sharp right out of the box and nice, smooth micarta.
I got the bleached micarta, thinking about dyeing the scales, as the knife can be disassembled with T8 and T6.
Highly recommend this knife!

Centered blade, half-stop dead flat- well machined and finished, even grind, sharp, feels great in the hand, D2 steel, micarata, $50- I could go on. It’s just a really good knife! Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 Great Value...

…and I like the size — a little larger than a Sodbuster, Jr. but smaller than the full size Sodbuster. I have few micarta knives but this one is helping me appreciate it; very nice look and feel. Great action; blade very slightly off center but not bad; D2 steel; sharp out of the box; lanyard hole. Well done.

5 out of 5 Great sodbuster

Very nice fit and finish. I’d say they are equal to the gec bullnose and have better steel. A real value for the price

5 out of 5 A most excellent sod buster...

I am a great fan of the old knife patterns, and this one is about as old as ya can get… As a boy, I carried both Case and Eye Brand sod busters, and I like this one best I’ve seen so far… The fit and finish on these is great, as are the materials… The old original derlin simply can’t compete with the micarta slabs on these guys for beauty or grip… The D2 steel is hard to beat… If you like to carry an honest, useful knife; here it is… I’ve got mine in my pocket now…
