No wonder your budget looks like someone cut down on it with a load of 00 Buck. Mighty fine pair there. Certainly worth the strain you put on your pocketbook.

Great matching pair, I-Man...and great sextet, Rookie!
These yellow Cases certainly make a great pair, in my opinion.

Here is a set of Tuna Valley teardrops from 2016.
Absolutely magnificent Rookie! I am similar in my collecting habits where I try to get matching models with subtle differences! Your group looks teriffic!

Nice Dan! I very much like sodbusters, and your yellow model is not so common. They can be found, but usually in black! The other model is also very cool, but too many blades for me, I do like the color though!

Great match Dan, and I agree. Those handles do make a great pair.
Thanks guys for the kind remarks. The burnt stag and amber stag are 1 of 50 each. The mammoth, buffalo horn, and TimeKeeper are 1 of 25 each. And the red burl was a 1 piece prototype. It was a fun set to hunt down and put together.
Thank you, Marc and Rookie! Marc, that particular Sod Buster is a Jr, pattern 3137. I know you're drawn to larger knives, so a 3138 might have a little more appeal for you.

Thanks for the link Dan! Once I got to the page there were others with differing covers that all look very nice also! You have certainly been paying attention to what others post cuz you're dead-on that for me the bigger the better! I do have a black full-size model stamped 2138, and on the other side of the tang the Case stamp with the 2 nazi style "SS" with 2 dots before the 1st "S" and 1 dot after the 2nd "S", but the yellow and other colors would make for a cool set!
