Rugged Rough Black® Synthetic Handles

Inspired by the tough, utilitarian "Gum Fuddy" knives of World War II, Case's Rough Black collection features durable synthetic handles designed for practical everyday use.

The deep black coloring and traditional jigged texture give this Sod Buster Jr. a distinctive appearance while providing a comfortable grip.

The classic Case Oval Script Shield adds a recognizable finishing touch.

Case Tru-Sharp™ Stainless Steel

The single Skinner-style blade is crafted from Case Tru-Sharp stainless steel, known for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.

The mirror-polished finish provides a clean, traditional appearance while maintaining the familiar cutting profile of the Sod Buster Jr.

Classic Sod Buster Jr. Design

The Sod Buster Jr. has long been a favorite among Case knife enthusiasts for its straightforward, functional design.

Its broad Skinner-style blade is useful for general cutting, slicing, and everyday utility tasks.

The traditional slip-joint mechanism uses spring tension rather than a mechanical blade lock, preserving the simple construction of this classic pocket knife.

Compact Everyday Carry

At 3-5/8 inches closed and approximately 2.2 ounces, the Sod Buster Jr. is compact enough for convenient pocket carry.

Its single-blade configuration makes it an appealing choice for customers who prefer a traditional, uncomplicated folding knife.

Proudly Made in the USA

Manufactured in Bradford, Pennsylvania, from domestic and imported materials, the Case XX Sod Buster Jr. reflects the company's longstanding tradition of American knife manufacturing.

A Practical Gift for Knife Enthusiasts

Whether you're adding to a Case XX collection or looking for a traditional everyday carry pocket knife, the Rough Black Synthetic Sod Buster Jr. offers classic styling, durable materials, and reliable performance.
