Love them - or hate them - which I will address later - Frost Cutlery has kept many brands in the marketplace which otherwise would have gone away - German Bull Brand is amongst those brands . . .

What we have here is a German Bull Dirt Buster - the pic of the box shows the stock number FRGBxxxxxx - Which is Frost / German Bull / German made - Smoky Mountain had this on sale for Labor Day for $29.00 ( $10.00 off the list price ) - so I added it to the order - no disappointment here on arrival . . . ( the knife is still on sale as I am posting this )

At just under 7 inches it not the biggest knife on the block but it makes up for it with fit / finish / and good looks . . .

Sod Buster knives, or the smaller Dirt Buster knives are also called "Farmer's knives" - the normal pattern is a single blade and no bolsters - Why no bolsters you ask? Metal bolsters add to the cost with more material and more production labor and these were marketed to the worker - a decent blade at a decent price point - horn or wood or bone handles - nothing fancy . . .

Brass liners - good blade centering - brass pins that look real good with the red jigged bone scales - a side note - one of the pins is not quite set "right" - same issue I noticed with the Rough Ryder "Sunfish" - I have had 5 or 6 people handle both the "Dirt Buster" and the "Sunfish" and not a single one picked up on the pins - maybe it is just me . . .

The high polish blade is just like a mirror and nice and sharp right out of the box - I need to pick up a Case knife in this pattern just to compare - as good an excuse to grab another knife as any other reason - Right?

Bottom line? You don't have one in this pattern in your collection yet because . . . . . .

Let's take a minute and talk about "Frost" - Frost has produced some very low quality stuff over the years - but - they also produce some very good quality stuff - overall I believe their quality has gotten quite a bit better over time - and they have managed to keep many brands and patterns alive - one of my favorites is Hen & Rooster - the quality and value of those knives are comparable to just about any other production knife out there - Frost is now marketing knives made in Pakistan - and before you start - they are 440 steel and the fit and finish are good - I buy them in bulk - 12 or 24 packs - and give them away for birthdays and Christmas gifts to coworkers - acquaintances - friends etc. As far as Frost's "Cutlery Corner" thing on cable and internet live streaming - pay attention to what you're buying is the best advice I can offer to you . . .
