The Saturday and Sunday Picture Show... (11-2-3-2019) (OLD S-SPS Look at the DATE...

Great show so far, I haven’t made a contribution for past three weeks. That’s not because I haven’t been buying it’s just because they take so god damn long getting to me!
Here is one that I bought which arrived damaged, a lovely buck forum member offered to physically take it to buck for me and hey presto it’s back looking like new

Joe, Joe, Oh Joe, (please don't take offence, just quoting an old Eastwood movie and I always wanted to say that ;))

Please read the post you are commenting about again. Koss did not say his blades were Ti he said they were Titanium Coated! The S30V blades on the AG Buck's have a Ti Coating. I just love the S30V with Titanium Aluminum Nitride Coating coating and also have a few of them.


That stag mini alpha is amazing.
 
Original Red Widow and Red Widow.
One new and one very, very old.
(Fixed the picture for the perfectionists.)

The 102 is my favorite small fixed blade. And I need that buffalo one. lol. I don't have that one yet. I like knives with buffaloes on there handles. The other ones pretty too.

The 102 chip flint Buffalo was the last one offered in the series. Only 250 were made making it the scarcest. All the others were builds of 500 to 1000. The 105 was not included in the series, I wonder why. I have them all except the 118, still waiting for the "right price".... ;o)
 
It's what they call a "Theater Knife."

I picked it up last winter or the winter before and didn't get much in the way of history because I just thought it was a junky homemade knife.

I have now made a few phone calls and done a little detective work and find it was made in the Pacific in 1945.

A SeaBee made it for his yet unborn son (who later beat it up some, but it survived).

It does bear some resemblance to the Red Widow that Joe created, doesn't it?

:)
 
It also looks a bit like some of the knives that Hoyt made with plexiglass and Lucite handles for G.I.s in the late forties and early fifties.

(If I was smart I'd get one of those templates to replicate the early Buck blade stamps.)

:D
