Sod Buster pocket knife: large, simple and reliable

Features of the Sod Buster

Shapes and sizes

The Sod Buster was originally designed for farmers. The blade usually has a drop-point shape. When opened, a slipjoint mechanism offers some resistance. This isn't a full lock though, making this knife legal to carry in many places. These knives are made to be used; aesthetics is not the first priority. Still, we think they happen to look fantastic too. Is the Sod Buster a tad too big for you? Choose the Sod Buster Jr. instead. This is a smaller version of the same knife.

Suitable cutting tasks for a Sod Buster

Originally, the Sod Buster was an all-purpose knife for farmers. As such, it's perfectly suited for EDC tasks like peeling an apple or opening packaging. It is not a knife for very heavy-duty tasks, but its simple and reliable construction means it won't let you down for general household jobs.

Different names

The Sod Buster sometimes carries a different name, like the Solinger Hippekniep or the Rangebuster. The Rangebuster is a fantastic edition that is perfect for farmers, citizens and outdoor enthusiasts. These knives don't look out of place as a gentleman's knife either! As these knives are two-handed openers, they are legal to carry in many places.

How to maintain a Sod Buster

To keep your Sod Buster in tip-top condition, we recommend regular sharpening. You can use a sharpening system or the Skerper Arkansas pocket sharpening stone with a little bit of honing oil. To keep the knife's action smooth, you can add a drop from the Skerper Maintenance Oil pen to the hinge. With regular maintenance, your Sod Buster will last a lifetime.
