The Sunday Picture Show... (6-5-2016)

Was out trout fishing all last weekend so I missed the sweet 124 show:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:Lots of nice ones, Really liked the ivory Colt 124:D:thumbup:

Good show this week, no new ones in the collection I've taken pics of, so here is a few of my carry knife out fishing last week and a few cool looking trout:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::D

Evening gents.

Been mostly a lurker on this form with only a thread or two and a few posts. Thought it was time to share a few pics.

I just finished a 5 month Provincial Search and Rescue certification, and at the end of the course is a two day SAR/survival test. I chose my 119 as my primary blade for that test, and it functioned flawlessly.

Ultimately, I used it to tension cut and limb roughly a half dozen alder saplings. I had a saw with me, but it was far quicker and easier to use my 119.

Thanks to everyone for posting these great buck pictures. Here is a 112 I got recently. It was sent into buck for a re blade and repair. Buck said the wood and brass was too bad to repair and recommended the solution you see in the knife. I think it turned out great. Guess it is a 112/422 BUCK BRASS LITE. I should have polished it before taking the picture.

I like it and it's different for sure...

Thanks for sharing it... :)
 
Here's a 501 trio.... 1st version with pivot pin showing (1975 I believe), Stag, and the Centennial model.

Nice find OH. Here is my well-loved 422 that my dad bought for me in 1984. I was 6 years old. I carried it quite often when I was a teenager. Now it sits in a drawer waiting for my son to come of age.


And since this is my first contribution to the Sunday Picture Show, I would also like to show off this like new 501 from '78-'79 that I just got.

m.and, welcome to the SPS and thanks for sharing a few of your
Buck knives with all of us here on the SPS... Cool pic's too... ITE

Thanks for the warm welcome OH. If I remember correctly the dot on these models may have had something to with the change to fine blanking the blades or possibly the change to 425M steel (though '84-'85 seems a little late for that). I'm pretty sure mine is from the first year of production (1984) which means yours is probably from 1985 (since the next year would have had the < date stamp for 1986).

I think you got it right on this... We have talked about it a few times here...
Joe said that they would add a Dot if they change something on the knife...
It could anything... We wouldn't know it by looking at it... But Buck would...

:)
 
Great Show so far... There are some sweet Bucks today... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:


Lot's of time for more pictures... :thumbup:

:)
 
Nothing new to add this week so here are a pair of 305s I've posted before. Both in terrific condition. The 305 is a Camillus and the clipper is dated the year before it hit the catalog.

An old 305 and an old clipper.


 
OH - I had the same question about a 503 that I purchased, here's the response that I got when I asked what one dot meant:

The dot isn't a date stamp on the 500 series model. Joe Housers history on them says that that a blade with one or more dots in the tang stamp means that the blade was fine stamped instead of conventionally blanked and that change took place sometime in the 80's, probably '84 or '85.

Whoops - someone else already responded....

Nice knife.
 
Here is my little 309 from 1987, a gift from my dad (who carried a Camillus made 305). I carried and used this 309 for many years. Great little knife.



This 722 just wants to have fun.

Herbert, what is the wood of your handle? It looks like Ironwood or is it a laminate Dymondwood?

Roger, it is hard to see what kind of wood it is. It looks like hand colored, but I can't believe buck took the time to make the stripes with a brush. At least the wood doesn't look like the standard colored and dyed birch pakkawood. Ironwood? May be. The wood looks more like ironwood than laminated birch.
