Here is another Sod Buster I did. Cocobolo scales with Stainless Liners and Nickle Silver hardware. I ground a half stop on the blade and did a hand rubbed finish. Hope you like it, but either way let me know what you think.

Love it, absolutely love it. I don't know if it's the satin finish on everything or what, but it looks just superclean

Johnnie took the words I was thinking. The subtleness of it make it a rather elegant soddie! Looks great!

Thanks for all of the comments fellas, I am glad you guys approve!

Thats what I like to hear Diligence, the guy that got this one said it is going in the display case, but it may make it to his pocket later, I hope sooner rather than later

Very nice indeed 4ever3,

Really like the filework, very subtle but very effective. Ditto what Johnnie said.

Clean lines, nicely understated, beautifull

Thanks fellas ! I find that I like the file work as you guy have stated, just enough to set it off, but not so much that it looks like it go tin a fight with a drawer full of files. I have gone from this

to this, and I like the latter much better.

i think

both ornate and simple filework has it's place, depends on the project.

Hukk · Post by **Hukk** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:40 pm

Once again I agree Johnny and MOST of all it depends on the knife pattern. Both styles of filework definitely have there place.

Great looking sodbuster 4ever3...just enough to set it apart from the crowd. I like it and a big ole

Darksev · Post by **Darksev** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:58 am

the filework really does have to fit the knife. I've been really looking to try some of that liner only filework of yours, I just need a big enough canvas to work on (trying that on something like a peanut would be.....interesting

)

For a "work" knife, a great choice. I think I'll work on getting my fit and finish to your level though, before I start getting elaborate

4ever3 · Post by **4ever3** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 4:14 am

Well, ok, I'll agree with Johnn to, it's just that I lean toward the less is more at this time

Thanks for the compliment Brad ! BTW, I love reading your post's in the General section, please keep'em coming

Darksev, get you some pieces of brass and a hand full of files and go at it ! I love to do it, I kind of get in a rythem when I file, and the rest of the world fades away

Side bar your Honor:
I recieved an email stating I had a private message, but when I went to my inbox there wasent anything there. So heres my email addy, just send it to me there.

you have good taste, imo. nuttin wrong about less is more! your soddie is a fine example i would carry with pride. art is as always in the eye of the beholder. i love the simple file patterns. i try to let my filework just flow. sometimes it works.

4ever3, the later is straight-up class on that 2-blade! WOW.

With the right tools and a few more years experience I see yourself and MM going a long way in this hobby.

You'll be making scratch folders as fine as some of the guys out there now in no time!
