Harley, why don't you go to the break room and sign up to be the next recipient of the Sos Surprise Box.  There might be another sod buster in there.  You never know what you're going to find.

Reviving Spartan’s thread.  The love 💕 for the SOD BUSTER has always been part of me, the drop point, the two sizes, the variants from other makers and names across the board describing this single blade versatile slipjoint is a broad spectrum of materials and colors.

Three of mine;

Nice set Gordon.  I like the blue especially. Ive posted my Moore Maker many times but seeing as I carry it almost everyday it makes sense. It is so light weight and useful. Here it is again, starting to get a real nice patina from all the apples and gardening.   [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

I don't think I've seen a 3137 with the blade etch (it's much more common on a 2137). Too cool! :like:

Great find. 
I have only seen the branded blades on Black Synthetic Jr models. Your Yellow must be an older built.

I do not see any dots, the Case XX with tail and USA  underneath twas used 1993 through 1999.  No dots would be a 99?

I'm surprised to see that it's held together with screws instead of pins. And the laminate looks pretty good!

The CROSSROADS is to be a new series, built with modern methods and varied materials.
I am aware of three other Sod Busters, and have a Micarata model on preorder.
This one came from Deadwood, and SMKW just announced their exclusive a Green wood with Orange.

Other models expected in 2025 have been discussed. 

But, I am a fan of the Sod Buster. I also like the S35VN steel characteristics over S30V and even Magnacut.

Plus the price is reasonable considering the steel. $70

S35VN usually starts at $100 and climbs higher.

My 3137 had been in hiding for a while, so it came up for air and a fresh coating of blade oil last night. The yellow Delrin needs a little work; I'll have to figure out how to restore it to its original glory. And it has some stellar patina.

It looks good as it is, the Yellow Delrin may get dirty along the edges, does not really sets in, I have had luck with warm water and a soak in dawn blue to break down the grime. Dirt, oil or grease just wipes away.
Warm not hot!😯

I'll give that a go, and the 3137 is probably going to see a little carry time in the very near future! :hatsoff:
