Rare WR Case & Sons Cutlery Co., USA limited edition Pattern 38 SOD BUSTRER with black handle scales and etched blade. The photos are representative of the type; currently I have 20+ “SC Counties” commemorative knives available for sale (one knife per county).

In 1976 Case XX in collaboration with J.C. Penney released the “South Carolina Counties” series of Sod Buster knifes with custom etching.
There are 46 counties in SC; not all got their “own” commemorative knife. There were just 200 specimens of each type for a total of 3000 pieces. CASE produced Sod Busters for the following SC counties: Anderson, Abbeville, Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Berkley, Calhoun, Charleston, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Georgetown, Greenwood, Hampton, Horry, Lee, Lexington, Laurens, Marlboro, Marion, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, Oconee, Pickens, Union, Richland and Saluda. These were sold at J.C. Penney stores back in the days; all types are hard-to-find nowadays, especially with the original, correctly-labeled retail packaging included.
I have the following counties available still; each knife is serial-numbered 51 on the tang. If the county name in the list below is crossed-out, that means this commemorative type has already been sold:
