I think blue bone is my favorite Case handle. Which makes it kind of weird that I don't own any. I think it's because I can always find examples of a given pattern in a different color for less. Do I really need blue bone when amber bone is $20 cheaper? Someday, I should say the answer is yes.

Fun fact: this pattern is often referred to as a Sod Buster regardless of who manufactured it, but Case trademarked the name.

I'll definitely be carrying my Sodbuster Jr at some point soon, but I had no idea it was a Case tm name.  :salute:

I've got a few options to choose from, but I'm not sure where I'll start. I carry a CV Peanut every day mostly for sentimental reasons. My wife gave it to me the first Christmas we were married and it's been in my pocket every day since then almost 11 years ago. I love the Trapper pattern, too, so those will make some appearances. It's just hard to carry them in light summer clothes. I've got a few packed away for my trip this week, so I'm looking forward to carrying a Case after SAKs for the last few years.   [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]

Not been into Traditional knives for a long time but with limited experience the Trapper is my favorite pattern.

This is my solution for summertime carry.



Also have a vertical sheath that fits them.

Forgot to add I accidentally ordered the wrong color sheath for this one. It’s fine but the Buffalo color is way nicer imo.

Is that a full size or Jr.?
The Scout is a Jr!

The Soddy is also a Jr, it is the one I had to scrape the black crud off the blade as it is CV and previous owner knew not how to care for it.  A 3137 CV😍 that luv. Blade takes and holds an edge very very well.

SteveC turned me on to CV steel in Case models, primarily for the natural patina. And you enlightened me with your eye for yellow vintage models.

I do have a couple 3138s in Navy Blue, one will make an appearance later in the month if not sooner😉

You are searching for a 38 in Yellow?
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 1

We are off to a great start   :like:


Just got back from the dog park and it's a lovely morning. Along the fence line at the dog park there are wild blackberries. You can graze on the them as you walk. Unfortunately most are on the other side of the fence out of reach. Well I decided it was worth it to climb over the fence and do some berry collecting. My Old Stag Lamb came in handy clearing some brambles out of the way. 👍

Cassie wasn't too happy about being left on the other side but quickly got over it when I started feeding her berries through the fence. 😁

Some Info on he PAL Company

Pal Blade Company purchased the cutlery division on January 17, 1941 from Remington-Dupont which had been located at Bridgeport, Connecticut. Remington sold the cutlery department in order to utilize the existing Bridgeport plant space for the production of munitions ( I believe for the production of the Model 1903 rifle for the British government - GMC).

Pal leased a 100,000 square foot facility in Holyoke, Mass. located on the west side of Bigelow Street between Appleton and Cabot Streets. This building had been the A building of the Farr Alpaca Company. Interestingly enough, part of this building in the 1800s had been the home of the Henry Seymor Cutlery Company, makers of shears and scissors.

Removal of the machinery to Holyoke began on February 4, 1941 with the move scheduled to be completed within 30 days. By March 1st they planned to be in operation with two shifts employing 300 workers, many of them women. Plans were to have 450 employees within 3 months, and they were advertising that the company would be the largest cutlery manufacturing company in the United States. Full production was to begin in June, 1941.

At the time, Pal Blade also had factories in Plattsburg, New York, Montreal, Canada, Newfoundland and South America. Owners were brothers Abraham Mallman of Montreal and Joseph Mallman of New York.

The above information was taken from the February 3, 1941 Holyoke Transcript-Telegram

During World War 2, the plant was converted to make bayonets, sheath knives, and pocket knives for US forces. Following the war, the name was changed to the Pal and Personna Blade Co., Inc. Other company plants were located in Montreal, Canada, Plattsburg, New York, Barranquilla, Columbia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

By December, 1945 the plant had been converted to peace time products and expanded their product line to include many items which had been unavailable during the war and for which there was a large market. Under the Pal name they produced pocket knives, paring knives, slicing knives and kitchen utility items in the moderate price range. The Personna items included gift sets, carving sets, carving knives and kitchen knives in the higher price brackets.

Employment in 1946 reached 950 workers on two shifts. 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM (3:45 PM for the women workers) and another shift from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The plant worked 5 ½ days a week, closing at noon on Saturdays. At the time the plant operated on two floors of 90,000 square feet each. The first floor contained most of the assembly lines and production tables, while the basement was occupied by store rooms, a maintenance shop and one work room where paring knives were made. (Note – the building no longer exists - GMC)

That Pal is one sturdy looking knife!

Around here where the blackberries are, the chiggers typically follow.  I hope you avoided that!

Berries look good Steve!  Hopefully Cassie can process this berries with out any surprises!

Did you collect the berries in a doggy bag?

Also, great info on PAL KNIFE WORKS. I had found a PAL electricians knife at flea market last summer, one without a bail. Very nice knife imho.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Great kickoff, everyone   :tu:


Dang, now I have to buy a Sod Buster.   :ahhh 


Now I'm checking eBay for a Scout Jr   :rofl:
Typical July impulse searches.
I just ordered two Opinels after pointing Comis to a web site. No 8 in Olive and 6 in Walnut.   
And it is ONLY day 1🥹
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

That Pal is one sturdy looking knife!

Around here where the blackberries are, the chiggers typically follow.  I hope you avoided that!

Here it's usually mosquitoes but it's been so dry there weren't any
