W.R. Case & Sons Sod Buster Jr. Blue Denim Micarta
Item #: CS-SB10808
$69.95
2025 Blade Show Special
I believe this is the first time Case® has offered a special limited knife at the Atlanta Blade Show which happens mid-year every year. They make only the quantity of that version of the knife that was ordered at that show. The Blue Denim Sod Buster Jr. was offered during the 2025 Show. The Sod Buster style was developed in the U.S.A. for farmers as early as the 18th century. The knife may be simple in design but its usefulness was just what was needed.
There is a white G-10 liner between the Blue Denim Canvas Micarta handle scales and the frame creating an eye-catching knife. The 2-7⁄8" stonewashed skinner blade is S35VN stainless at 60-62 Rc. It is a slip joint - meaning the blade does not lock open. Measures 3-5⁄8" closed. Weighs 1.6 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail is $97.00.

Case Knives
W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of traditional pocket knives, limited edition commemoratives and collectibles. It makes American made traditional pocket knives in a variety of patterns, blade styles, and handle materials. They are particularly well known for their specialized dying process - creating beautiful and colorful bone handles. Case prefers to use their proprietary Tru-Sharp stainless steel. Tru-Sharp sharpens and polishes easily and is enjoyed by collectors all over.
The roots of the company span all the way back to 1889. W.,R. Case & Sons notably made knives in World War 1, notably the M3 Fighting Knife for servicemen and the V-42 stiletto for the Devil’s Brigade. They also made knives for NASA astronauts for when they touched back down on earth and were waiting to be picked up. The Case Company is currently owned by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, based in the same city, which is well known for their Zippo lighters. You can see great synergy between the companies as they share equipment and expertise like inlaid dyed bone handles and laser engraving machinery.
