Interesting. I never knew these were hollow ground. Good to know. I have several GECs but really don’t like how thick they are behind the edge. Never had a Case, but always liked the look of the bone sodbuster jrs.
As always another killer video, love the cuts. I have an observation and suggestion. have you every done cut's on those Scott's blue shop towels? You should because man... those god damn things are made from some rare friggen earth fibers... LOL!
I have a ton of folders. This is the one I’ll take to Iceland and Norway this summer. It is light, unobtrusive, non-threatening and utterly useful! PS Here’s a tip: Mine’s carbon and blued with a cold gun blue product to prevent rust. Works like a charm!
I highly doubt you would get into trouble with a sodbuster jr, but i would recommend a SAK as a better choice, its more functional and nobody has problems with a traveller having one.
Nice! Doomcrew Outdoors RUclips channel had one of his CS blades tested at his work. The CS steel is apparently not 1095. Something like 0-6 tool steel or something like that
Just the block of green compound that came with my strop. No idea what grit it is. I don’t get crazy with the different stropping compounds, this stuff works just fine
Put a new edge on it. It will perform much better. I have the same knife and the edge from the factory was the worst. Tried to strop but had poor results. With a fresh edge it’s a whole different knife. As someone else suggested it loves a 400 grit edge.
Nice work I swear by stropping on my palm give it a try tell me what you think. Even jeans for simple 1095 seems to help a decent amount. Someone should start making traditional knives with crazy steels like 15v and the like. Also lots of times burnt edges from factory sharpening takes a few sharpenings to get to good steel
Great video Kevin.. love the Case Sodbuster Jr.! I use “Inox” a food grade coating for high carbon steel to help displace moisture and food stuff fluids from staining your blade. Works well! 😊
I bought this exact knife a while ago, and returned it straight away, the quality was absolutely terrible. The fit and finish and blade grind, were probably the worst of any knife I've ever bought,, I'll never order another Case knife.. Rough Rider are much better...

Great idea...I would love to see a case blade steel test vs the GEC blade steel
Beautiful Case knife! One of my favorite patterns!!!
Very cool. I'm glad you did this video. I'm happy that you are adding in the traditional knives.
Nice demonstration of a beautiful knife!
Great video love a Sodbuster!

Next, baton some wood!! 🤣

Great video. Would like to see the GEC testing for sure

Ah okay yeah that makes sense
Great vids as always!
What do you use to strop?
I have Finch Chernobyl with sodbuster blade style and my fix blade is Maxace beetle-S..
I just use a stop I got off Amazon and some green compound that came with it. Nothing fancy

Great knife !
It's a great knife design. I really like the Sod Busters.
Great video man! What stropping compound are you using?
Just the green block that came with my strop. I don’t get crazy with the different compounds and stuff
Case runs the steel quite soft i have cv and ss and only sharpen them up to 400 grit.
Great video Dood. Respect. D
Enjoy to watch Man.thanks
Just found your channel, love that you found a passion for slip joints, where did you find your strop at?
Awesome man, welcome! It’s just a cheap strop from Amazon:
amzn.to/3DsJnpH
If you test the stockman would you have to do each cut with all three blades or switch to the best shape for the cut?
Hmm.. I hadn’t thought of that. Probably have to use just one blade the whole time.
But switching to the best blade for the cut sounds pretty fun too
Thanks for the cut test video! What grit is on your stropping leather?
Just the block of green compound that came with my strop. No idea what grit it is. I don’t get crazy with the different stropping compounds, this stuff works just fine
Cool video. Just subbed. Like your style bro💪🏻
Thanks man!
I call it a full hollow grind
I’ve always heard SS is 420HC, CV is 1084. Now there is CS and sprint runs of 1095. Doomcrew utube got the carbon steels tested. CS came back as 06.
Put a new edge on it. It will perform much better. I have the same knife and the edge from the factory was the worst. Tried to strop but had poor results. With a fresh edge it’s a whole different knife. As someone else suggested it loves a 400 grit edge.
Would love to see a cut test with a Rough Ryder Reserve Swayback!
Good idea! I do have a RR Work Knife swayback, not a reverse though
@@doodysdaggersthat would be awesome. Think the only difference is that the Reserve version is D2 steel
Nice work I swear by stropping on my palm give it a try tell me what you think. Even jeans for simple 1095 seems to help a decent amount.

I’ll try the palm! I’ve definitely used jeans before but not palm.
You talking about those blue reusable shop towels? Or the ones you throw away?
5:48 knock knock knock 😁
Haha yep I got interrupted
Where did you end up finding the amber bone in carbon?
Link is in description. On Amazon
Great video Kevin.. love the Case Sodbuster Jr.! I use “Inox” a food grade coating for high carbon steel to help displace moisture and food stuff fluids from staining your blade. Works well! 😊
Interesting I’ll have to get some of that coating stuff! Thanks for the comment! 🤠

Rough Rider are much better...
Yes! How crazy is that. Rough Ryder has much better fit and finish and cost around $15 compared to around $50 for a Case. Ridiculous
its a looker, not a performer sadly. would be cool to see a sodbuster jr with some modern steel like cruwear.
I have actually seen it in modern steel! I forget which, S35vn or something
Would be nice if Case used Maxamet, Magnacut, Cruwear, S90V, or even ELMAX on some of their knives.
It would be cool but they never will. It’s not oldschool 🤷🏻♂️
