Went to my local Lowes last night to replace the Sodbuster Jr. I lost.
I have full faith I'll find the old soddie, but murphy's law dictates I won't until I bring another one home. (theory: murphy was a knife knut.)
Anyway, after looking through the entire store, I gave up and asked a sales associate, who managed to lead me to the right display in the time it took me to trot out one of my used-up One-Liners For Relating To Sales Associates. Got a nice new soddie jr, for $17, as recommended here. Thanks to whoever mentioned that btw, knives are kinda hard to come by around here and I wasn't gonna use the internet to buy another in the foreseeable future.
Right below the (two) case knives they had a bunch of store-brand stuff, and then some more by Appalachian trail. I bought a little one-bladed affair, about the size of a case peanut, on impulse. I figure if that size turns out to be handy but that particular knife stinks, I'll just go get a peanut.
Knifeforums is split about 60/40 in opining that A/T knives are total crap versus serviceable crap. Can anybody here speak for them?the knives, not the forum..
