Armand….that is a beauty!!! I don't see anything I would want different on that stag 110. It would be great if someday you could post that one in a companion photo along side your bullet proof glass/teardrop Damascus 110. Nah, maybe you shouldn't….I would have to buy a new keyboard. :)

Thanks for getting this December 1st Sunday Picture Show up and running. Hope it's another great one!! :thumbup:...:thumbup:...:thumbup:


Herbert….can't wait to see you work your magic on that one!!


I have to show a Buck knife I just received in the mail a couple days ago. It's been 40 years since I fell in love with a knife design, but that has changed in the last couple years since I started EDCing a Buck Paradigm fairly often. I've got some Paradigm Damascus and Paradigm Pro's, but I didn't think I had a Paradigm Avid, so I snatched this 2010 when I saw a good price on it NIB.

This Buck is flawless in every way (Except I have to apologize for the little spec of flour on the bottom of the front scale. I was kneading a couple loaves of bread in between taking these photos and didn't notice that spec until I was done);



















I haven't been posting wildlife photos lately because of my change over to a different operating system on my computer. A friend sent me this one from his back yard taken just a few days ago;

 
For the greatest show I went for the wooden theme today.

First my only 102



Second my wood handled 119



And last is my 277 with Bos blade


 
As always, this is a great thread full of great knives! I have come to the conclusion that the perfect whitetail deer hunters knife is the Buck 118 - enough handle for a comfortable grip and a blade design that is long enough for efficient skinning, but small enough to work in the tight areas without being in the way. Haebbie, can't wait to see yours after you rebuild it. OH

My latest aquisition Its a buildout dated from 2012 Buck 110 with Boone and Crockett Medallion and Maple burl
 
Hi All,
Fantastic start to the SPS this week. Thanks Armand, wow that is a sweet looking stag dammy 110. Herebert, stag, that 118 needs some nice custom stag added;).

Ok, for today's show here is a nice 307. I know a few of the folks here have these because they have been on the SPS before. I first saw one of these on one of the auction sites and did not know if it was done by Buck, or if it was aftermarket, or if it was a fake. The part of the knife that made me really guess if it was a fake was the box, no Buck knife I knew of came in a box like this one. Then one day one of you posted your knife here and well the rest is history and one has found it's way to my pile. Now I have to ask, do any of you have any of the other's form this series? This was made for SMKW and they were going to issue 10 different knives in the series I have never seen any others.

I'm in fast company today with you fellas.

ITE: If Darth Vader had a folder that would be it. Appropriate raindrop Damascus as, well you already know, it is raining here today.

Haebbie what about a clear resin handle (gotta polish everything)? Good to see EEE who makes me wish I had a nickel for every knife he has ever owned!

Stumps: Were you a crime scene photographer back in the day. That knife can't hide a thing. Fox?

Ed: You're gonna have to smoke bigger cigars in order to fit your large knives into boxes. There isn't much prettier stuff than natural wood with its non-manmade colors and patterns.

OH: That Personal is perfect and one of my favorites. You make it look so very rich with your photographic technique and beautiful background of a... cross-section of rock, your countertop, floor... cool stuff.

HI: Maple Burl is the bomb. Really clever of mother nature to build such wonderful looking knife scales to treat my sore eyes to. Very nice pick up. Wow!

JB: Never, ever, seen Paul and Babe like that before. You plowed up a snake. I gotta watch SMKW more regularly. Very stoic, elite, classy and serious looking treatment and kind of unlike a lot of modern SMKW output lately.

EEE: Very good to see you posting. That terrific horn works very nicely with the NS bolsters to make one of the most beautiful 110s I've ever seen. Damn you have good/brilliant taste in cutlery.

Two Kalingas: 408 Pro and 419 Folder. Lots of S30V in that curvaceous (a challenge to make that blade I'd wager) fixed blade.

Craig did an article in the June 2011 BCCI newsletter on the BUCK 307. In the article he shows the Christmas 1985 SMKW catalog with the John Henry knife. I have never seen one. Like you, I have the Paul Bunyan knife. I'm thinking John Henry was the first knife and Paul Bunyan was the second. I don't think the projected 10 knives in the Folk hero series ever happened. These are so rare, I find it hard to believe there were a thousand of these actually made. /Roger
 
Haebbie, I can hardly wait to see what you do with that 118!

Oregon, those Kalingas are very sweet looking! :thumbup:


Here's a Paradigm for this weeks show...








I have to start thinking about a decent light box for taking better pics...

Embrace the shadows.

I really enjoy the shadows. They can dramatize the target. Or frame it. Or confound the viewer.

I want to try holding a cheese grater, louvered window shade, mask or other shadow producing item between the light source and the target just to tickle the viewer with something unseen but there, influencing the shot, nevertheless. We all wonder why, of course, but the what can be more fun as an actual answer is available.

I take care of my neighbor's wild scottish soya sheep, today they gave me a pair of horns from one that the coyotes took down a couple years ago.

Not the prettiest of horn, but I will enjoy whatever knife I use it on for scales. Sentimental value to it :)

Here are a couple candidates.... alpha series that are begging for new scales ;)

I 'think' this is the only one I have. I do think, that SMKWs did not do another 8/9 versions. Maybe Chuck or Jerry have a John Henry if any actually exist.

Invoice, they made a sawcut red scale also. 300
