Built for Real-World Tasks
From breaking down boxes to field dressing small game, the Sod Buster Jr. is a compact problem-solver. The skinner blade’s belly glides through fibrous material and food prep alike, while the tip remains stout enough for controlled notching and detail work. Whether you’re on the ranch, the boat, or just opening mail, this knife brings old-school practicality to modern EDC.
Ergonomics That Work
The gently contoured Yellow Synthetic handle fills the hand better than its size suggests, giving you a secure hold even when wet or gloved. The bright color is easy to spot on a tailgate, workbench, or campsite, reducing the chance you’ll misplace your blade when the day gets busy.
Chrome Vanadium: A Sharpener’s Dream
If you value an edge you can refresh quickly, CV steel is a joy. It sharpens fast on common pocket stones and strops to a fine, bitey edge that loves cordage, cardboard, and game processing. Over time, CV develops a dark patina that many users treasure—it’s a badge of honest work and a thin layer of oxidation that helps resist further corrosion.
Traditional Design, Modern Dependability
The Sod Buster pattern has earned a century-long reputation among farmers, tradespeople, and outdoorsmen for a reason. There’s nothing fussy here—no flippers, no assisted mechanisms—just a stout spring, clean geometry, and a blade that gets things done. The Jr. size keeps it friendly for pocket carry and compliant for many local EDC norms.

Care & Maintenance Tips
Dry & Oil: After use—especially around moisture, meat, or acidic foods—wipe the blade dry and add a light coat of oil.
Encourage a Patina: Cutting apples or other mildly acidic foods can help form an even, protective patina on CV steel.
Keep It Sharp: Touch up regularly with a pocket stone or ceramic rod; frequent light maintenance beats heavy regrinds.
Store Smart: If storing long-term, oil the blade and keep it in a dry place outside of leather sheaths.
