The Sunday Picture Show... (2-18-2018) . . . OLD Show Look at the DATE...

[Makael]

Yesterdays flea market find. A 3 micarta spacer 119 with a swivel sheath as new in box. The printers date on the paperwork is 12/78 and 1981 is when the 'flat' sewn sheaths appear so that brackets this knife to about 1979-1980. These early semi hollow ground knives are some of my favorites of the 100 series. /Roger

Nice find.

One more for the show. A phenolic and brass trimmed 120 General in 5160 steel. These are a Copper and Clad exclusive. Do you think the seller (not C&C) was trying to hide something?

Yes

Here is a Buck knife/tool. I don't know the name but this is one unique knife. I picked this up from Dogpound. I need to come up with a sheath.

 

[DeSotoSky]

It is called the "Tiburon" Watersports knife, model 185. Here is a picture of one of mine to see what the correct sheath is. Short lived, only in the catalog from 1999 to 2004. It was a collaboration with kayaker Ed Gillette.

dats crazy!!!!! I assume the seller did not show that in his listing correct....

So, take pictures of them and post em...We'd like to see them...

I promise to wash off all the cow poop and to make us as presentable as we can be and take a picture. However, I will have to find something better than my poor old flip phone for the money shot. It's tough to get all of us at our best, since we get put into service as soon as the knives are cleaned/sharpened up. Today was a good example. No sooner did I have one all mirrored up for a glamorous night on the internet, I was out in the shop scraping a thermostat housing and then cutting a bunch of twine on hay bales. Even though it goes against my better judgement, maybe I'll use some of those poser brands for the chores around here for a few days. Then I can keep the Bucks all slicked up and ready for some Sunday pitchers .

I mostly carry an orange camo 286 around the ranch because it tends to get jarred lose an the orange shows up well when it does. I also prefer the lockback to a liner lock for heavy work because i can close it with heavy gloves on. The clips are also stronger on the bantams than they were the old 484's I used to use.

There is more than 1 484 buried in the pasture.

I, for one, like seeing pictures of Buck knives at/having been worked. That's when they are truly at their best. Preston

The blue ink is another clue for me. Most like that have a blue line on the label, I think so they can be easily identified at the factory. BAD seller

My point about the ink. Notice what boxes the ink lines are on, and the boxes that do not have a line. These were all bought at the Buck Factory as shown.

Great show everyone and happy Sunday!!

Stumps, In the late 90's I spent one Thanksgiving canoeing through the Okeefenokee swamp. It was so much fun I went back the following thanksgiving and did it in a kayak, some great memories came back after seeing your photos and I thought the paddle ended somewhere around the Suwannee canalcan't remember for sure it was so long ago

Mike...I started at Fargo, GA on this trip and ended at the Gulf of Mexico for something like 220 miles. I see many more trips down this river in the future. Will start on the east side of the Okeefenokee Swamp next time. That should add 4 or 5 days and make it an even better trip.

Looks like fun Stumps. I think it's an alligator snapping turtle. I've seen a large one challenge traffic on the highway.

brownshoe...I believe you are right. Check out Craig's post below. He knows critters!

Impressive.

More fun than impressive.
Backpacking and long distance bicycling are harder, but I think river tripping is more enjoyable.

Yep, Alligator Snapping Turtle. Can live over hundred years and weigh between 100 and 150 lbs. We were doing research on them in the early 2000's . They can move their head forward and left and right but not up if you grab the shell above their head. Their neck extends about 10 inches as one of the college researchers found out when one bit their finger off at the first joint. It looked like it hurt. 300

I was told by someone along the river that this guy was more than 100 years old.
He weighed 118 1/3 lbs.


Another very nice SPS everyone....thanks!!!
