Great demo, Erica! You have very steady hands and lots of patience, both things that I lack. I have to use a guided sharpening system as my hands are very shaky. I am thinking about getting the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, which Pete uses very successfully. I could never accomplish what you do with diamond and waterstones.👏

I’m not me, I’m my boyfriend. That is to say that I, Mike, am commenting on Jessica’s account. Anyway, when you mentioned how much you love the old ways, and the old knives I just cheered! I love hand sharpening, and traditional knives. About a year and a half ago I started using a straight razor to shave with with, and I love how traditional it is. It makes me think more about what I am doing, and now that I have the proper stone to hone them on, and a good strop, shaving has become such an enjoyable experience. It’s all related to that vintage vibe, and a more relaxed time. I’ll subscribe when I get home, but in the mean time I subscribed on Jessica’s accounts. I’m sure she doesn’t mind. 😊

Hello Erica, many Americans think that “Sod buster knives are American classics.” But if you take a closer look, the origin and therefore also the “Case Sodbuster” is in Germany. Take a look at the so-called “Hippekniep” from the Otter company. The Italian “Maserin” is also a copy. The German Hippekniep served as a model for the American Sodbuster. It is therefore considered the original form of the Sodbuster. German immigrants brought their Hippekniep knives to the USA in the 19th century. American knife manufacturers adopted the design and adapted it to the needs of the American population. The resulting knife was given the name “Sodbuster” because it was often used by farmers to break off sod. Similarities: The Sodbuster and Hippekniep share many characteristics, such as the shape of the blade, the folding mechanism and the use of handle materials such as wood or horn. Differences: There are also some differences between the two knives. For example, the blade of the Sodbuster is often slightly longer and more pointed than that of the Hippekniep. In addition, Sodbusters are often made of stainless steel, while Hippeknieps are traditionally made of carbon steel. The Hippekniep has significantly influenced the development of the American Sodbuster and is therefore considered to be its original form. Both knives are popular and versatile tools that are suitable for various tasks in everyday life and in nature. Best regards from Münster, Germany. Christoph 🙂

I own many Case knifes and your right about the Sod Buster they are notorious for little gaps and imperfections but the tip on that is rounded for skinning. Other Case patterns have higher quality standards and each model is designed for specific jobs like the doctor knife pattern has a non sharpened paddle for crushing pills. Also look at their clip point blades they come to a very sharp point .You should Google all their blade shapes it's interesting.
