I have been looking for a good knife for about a year and think I have finaly found one. I carried a case sodbuster for years but I dont like a stainless knife and the chrome vanadium blades chip like a razor blade. I like the size and shape of a sodbuster its just right for work where im an electritian and I use it to strip 500 thhn copper wire alot. Thats why the blade chips. The sodbuster is also about the same size as a parring knife the most used knife in most kitchens. I have cleaned fish, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, doves, pigeons, and squirels with it no crows though. Also pilled apples, pears, taters and peaches with it, used it as an eating utensel (spelled wrong Im shure) cleaned my fingernails, trimmed my fingernails, used it as a screwdriver, scrapper and if left closed it works as a choke tube wrench on extended tubes, even removed a mole from my helpers neck with it! That being said you can see this knife is my favorite style of knife.
Case aint what it used to be. But there is hope. I found a sodbuster style knife called country cousin made buy QUEEN. They're made in the USA in PA (them PA boys make good stuff dont they,,foxpro is made there too). Holy cow ah bat ah man this is a great knife. It is made out of D2 tooling steel and it is tough as a pine knot! I stripped about 150 foot or so of wire last week and afterwards it cut a cardboard box like it was nothing. It isnt the easiest knife in the world to get sharp but it holds an edge like no other. I know this is a off topic but almost everybody that hunts needs a good knife and this one is not good its great.
