They are very good value for money, especially the older ones with o1 steel. Look in the Rochester thread for more details.

That looks nice too.  I think my next one might be a 99-series.  It's a lock-back.

Just got one of the #71s in OD green micarta.  It's a lovely thing - very different to the only other sodbuster I've had, a junk Schrade.  The pull is very stiff, much harder to get the blade out than my other GECs, including my #47 F+F Hayn' Helper.  Nice blade shape, and bang on 3" so fine for carry in the UK.  Came sharp enough out of the tube, but needs a bit of work.

Yea, I'm finding the pull on mine to be extremely hard, almost to the point of being uncomfortable for me.

My 2 Bulnoses have SAK-like/Case Sodbuster  pull.  They are, however, the older ones with the O1 steel.
