Case South Carolina Sodbuster series

Post by Casebuster »

As I understand, in 1976 Case released a series of Case Sodbuster knifes for the counties of South Carolina. There are 46 counties in South Carolina. My question is did Case provide a knife for EACH county? This was a J.C.Penney store special. Thanks Much

Hi :D ,

Yes, they were put out by Penney's. But, my book says 56 different big etched Sodbusters. Could be a typo :?
I have never seen them yet, so until I do I really cannot say or know what is on them.

Hope this helps a little.

hope this helps

9ball, Thanks for your quick reply. :D What book are you referencing? The S.C. sodbuster is the normal large sodbuster with some "etching" on the reverse side of the blade referencing each county, as far as I have been able to find out as of now. Thanks again.

Thanks :D ,

I found them in the new "Pocket Knife Trader's Price Guide #8, page 345 right at the top. They have them priced at $2000, I am sure that is for the complete set. Noticed it yesterday when I was looking for another.

Good luck in your quest.
