I was looking through my knives the other day and found my old case Sod buster. That knife has been around for a while. I remember buying it at the old Western Auto store way back when I was still in grade school. I'm guessing I MIGHT have been in the 6th grade. I didn't have enough money to buy it, but the store owner held it for me and let me bring in part of my weekly allowance until I got it paid for. I think that was probable my first store bought knife (that I paid for all by myself). I guess I was either 11 or 12, so that means I have had it for 46 or 47 years! Many many years ago I "Modified" it by filing grooves in the black plastic handle so it wasn't so slick with "Stuff" on it.
