Seen This One Before?

Post by Paladin »

I am attaching a photo of a pattern I found while digging around in some 'stuff'. It is a knife I had forgotten I had and in thinking about it, I have never seen another like it.
It is essentially a locking sodbuster but it is embellished in a couple of ways. First, it has brass bolsters. Second, it has a mirror polished blade.
Maybe Muskrat Man has one or has some info on the pattern. Maybe some of you other Eye Brand collectors can do show and tell.

i have owned a coupal of this pattern, only seen it in yellow celluloid. i carried one for a work knife for a while & these were some fantastic edge holders . about 1995 or so when eyes were really pricey i think these went to 150.00 & even higher. slightly heavier than soddies but much more attractive. never saw very many produced.---HiPower

Never seen another quite like that. I've seen plenty of locking sodbusters but never with bolsters, or a polished blade

very unique.. I'm "usually" not a big fan of sodbusters...but this one is definitely an exception. Good-looking knife!! ::tu::

When the knife your grandfather/father carried or put up is handed down to you...treasure it...open it up from time to time...and by all means, keep it!
