Case South Carolina Sodbuster series

As I understand, in 1976 Case released a series of Case Sodbuster knifes for the counties of South Carolina. There are 46 counties in South Carolina. My question is did Case provide a knife for EACH county? This was a J.C.Penney store special. Thanks Much

Hi
,
Yes, they were put out by Penney's. But, my book says 56 different big etched Sodbusters. Could be a typo
I have never seen them yet, so until I do I really cannot say or know what is on them.
Hope this helps a little.

9ball, Thanks for your quick reply.
What book are you referencing? The S.C. sodbuster is the normal large sodbuster with some "etching" on the reverse side of the blade referencing each county, as far as I have been able to find out as of now. Thanks again.

Thanks
,
I found them in the new "Pocket Knife Trader's Price Guide #8, page 345 right at the top. They have them priced at $2000, I am sure that is for the complete set. Noticed it yesterday when I was looking for another.
Good luck in your quest.
