I like sodbuster pattern knives but I've never found one that really stood out. But it's something special when somebody does a well-executed modern version of a traditional pattern.
Trademark aside, it does have a few problems. I'm going to drop it in my pocket, and try to get around to doing a writeup after it has some snail trails.

I don't believe that continuing to spend more money will get me better knives. IMO, the point of diminishing returns starts around $150. So I'm going to wander around at the low end of knife costs, and see what there is to be found. I will also probably end up with a couple from Great Eastern Cutlery, but that's another post.
