Pretty good gift you must have been real good ITE.

Not a 110, but a Onesie, Buck gear, we put this on to Chuck and within a couple of weeks he is walking and his crawling days are over.

Photo taken last weekend at the North face of Mt Hood where all the crevasses are located.







Here is a Mayo/Buck Collaboration that I really liked, titanium framelock with teflon washered S30V buttery smooth thumbhole operated blade, lite and flat in the pocket:









Another rendition of the North Face of Mt Hood with the name places marked and then an overflight photo of nearly the same pitches (this side of the mountain is where you go to learn crevasse rescue technique because there are so many glaciers and crevasses waiting for students there):

Wow what a cool looking 110, super nice gift enjoy it Armand! Thank you for doing this show for all us Buck knife enthusiast's. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Here is an inverted 3 line 120 with 4 spacers. Found it on the bay and it came back to the USA from Japan. Check out the old ad flyer, to bad I can't read it.

Armand...your boy done you good. That 110 is beautiful!
Thanks for another SPS, but I won't be able to contribute.
I'm just waking up in my tent on a backpacking trip and having to listen to the annoying morning birds.

Steve....always enjoy your photos!

John...that is a cool Buck!

Time to pack up and start walking.

 

[Cvovillia]

Wish I was waking up in a tent! Your lucky Stumps! That 120 is really a cool find from another country!!!!!!
Pops nice knife! I had lots of fun making her! Both my sons and my girl just love Buck Knives and love to fix them up! Here are some pictures of all of us in the shop!



My son Ethan did this 503 for himself! He's really proud!


And here is my latest 110

 

[LostViking]

This is the first shot I thought was SPS worthy.

Still doesn't compare, but it's all I've got at the moment.

 

[Cvovillia]

Sweet pic Lostviking!

 

[mwputnam]

Good morning everyone and thanks as always Armand, for the SPS.

Here's and old Custom Shop 110 with Smooth AWB inlays and Damascus blade:

 

[DeSotoSky]

This one just struck my fancy with the engraving. Black pearlescent Corelon handles, The spine is signed "D.GRUBAUGH 2008"

 

[Haebbie]

Another Picture Show with great knives. My modest contribiution: a factory restoration of a Buck 639 FieldMate from 1991. It got a handle made of koa wood. Thank you, Armand for your ongoing work.

Haebbie

 

[DeSotoSky]

Gee Haebbie, I really like that handle on the 639.

Since we've seen some mountain views and a Japanese Buck theme, here is a repost of a knife I've shown before that combines both. Mt Fuji, Japan. 60 miles SW of Tokyo and last erupted 1707-8.

 

[Cvovillia]

Haebbie that KOA looks like stacked leather! Sweet 639!

 

[Haebbie]

Thank you, guys, yes, it looks like stacked leather. But the photo I made doesn't show the structure of the wood. I hope it is better visible now.

Very well done.

 

[Makael]

That is awesome seeing this.

 

[Haebbie]

Mountains? I was impressed to see the big American volcanos.

Haebbie

Here's Mt. St. Helens

And Mt. Rainier

Keep an eye out for those pesky Snipes. I sent my neighbors son home with the tools to go Snipe hunting a couple months ago. So funny

 

[oregon]

Very well done.

Thank you. My pleasure.

That is awesome seeing this.

You are too kind. I live for your posts.

St Helens: One year after the top came off that volcanoe two knuckleheads, so the story goes, crossed the red zone and went up to what was now the summit during the night. As the sun came up in the East a military jet came in very low, you could see the pilot's face for a second, as he pivoted at great speed with a huge boom as all of the small rocks moved downward and the sun sparkled off of the silver jet.

Rainier: One of the few 14,000 foot mountains in the lower 48 states. About 50% of climbing attempts are successful on the mountain. If you visit, and you must visit, go to the RMI hut and sit for the pre-climb talk by one of the professional guides. It is priceless. The guides work all over the world. This mtn. sits quite Westerly so it collects a lot of moisture. You were lucky to get that pic of the summit. All mountains in this thread are active volcanoes.

The top bit of the North Face of Mt. Hood:

Happy SPS Sunday to all and thanks Armand for giving us all this opportunity to share.

Mike - Here is that other 106 you mentioned. From the old custom shop with ivory handles stamped "LR".

Haebbi - I live within view of Mt St Helens and just 4 miles from the town of St Helens which is where my wife grew up.
Mt St Helens erupted in the morning of May 18th 1980 killing approx 57 people which was a clear day and at the time I lived in Scappoose Oregon. I went go up on the hill
just west of town with some friends and could get a very clear view of the eruption. What a site seeing the ash plume rising miles into the air. The wind was blowing NE so
we did not get any of it. At the time I was just starting to date the girl who became my wife. We were on a date a couple weeks later with another couple after dark in the
country about 20 miles from home when all of a sudden it started to look like it was snowing. Mt St Helens started erupting again and this time the wind was blowing in our
direction. The 2 girls started freeking out because we all heard that the ash would plug up air filters causing vehicles to die and no one knew how much ash was going to fall.
We got them home nice and safe though. The next morning there was about 4" of ash covering everything. At the time I worked at a small feed and seed store owned by my
Aunt and Uncle. The fire dept brought fire hoses to the businesses which we used to wash everything off with and wash the ash into piles which the city would than come
around for the next couple weeks and pick up. What a memory. I still have a clear view of the mountain from my house on a clear day but it the mountain is a bit shorter that
it was before the eruption. I still have a couple jars of ash from that day. The ash is extremely fine like talcum powder We also do not live far from Mt Hood where we go
skiing, camping, fishing, and hiking every year.
