Recently bought this at a members auction I know it is a 118 I believe cut down to a 116 - I think the mod was done prior to it leaving the factory. the sheath has the long flap so I think it is correct.

My greasy fingerprints are on the grip but the knife is brand new in my opinion. Thank You Roger for the SPS.

I never really paid attention to a 116. After seeing that I really like it. If I ever pick up a spare 118 I might be tempted to try that mod.
 
My Buck 212, from the 2019 run. I just assumed the knife is stainless steel, but haven't looked at it since I took this photo three or so years ago. DeSotoSky DeSotoSky Roger, use a lead pencil point, it will take the rust down but the dark mark from the rust will still be there. Some knives seem more prone to doing it than others (I have one GEC #66 pocketknife that has developed those same rust spots since the beginning of my ownership, none of the rest of my GEC have done that). When one does that to me I just assume it was meant to be a user and throw it in with the hunting gear for eventual skinning use. Damn hard to beat a knife with a stainless steel blade! OH

Love PBJs, should not only be a National Day, but, should be considered one of the major food groups.😁

Thanks Roger(sorry about the rust) for another Sunday Picture Show, thanks to all for posting photos and comments.

It sticks in my mind that the original concept 116's were made from 118's. I can't find the reference.

Addendum: It took awhile to remember and find Larry Oden's May 2007 Newsletter article. And I quote..
"Chuck said that the earliest Buck 116s also incorporated model 118 blades (often with broken tips!) and that they were likewise ground down to Les Bowman’s specifications."

Thank You Roger much appreciated

Hello and welcome to the Sunday Picture Show. Share your Buck knives with others by posting pictures of them here. New or old, plain or custom, user or safe queen, one or a collection, we love to see them all. This weekly tradition was started in 2010 by ItsTooEarly (Armand Hernandez) and Oregon (Steve Dunn). Help keep the tradition alive. Feel free to click that 'LIKE' but lets not let it replace discussing and complimenting each others knives. Above all, enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich day.
It's on the internet so it must be true. Tomorrow I'm going to make me a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich and post a picture along with my favorite beverage. Let's see your sandwich. I do not know who declared April 2nd to be the day. Apparently it was a thing the soldiers brought home with them at the end of WW2.

Oh the horror!!! I took this 212 Ranger Skinner out for a photo and it's RUSTED!!! I'm not a big steel know it all. I'll have to look up W2. Is it prone to resting? I'll need to address this tomorrow so I'm soliciting advice about what to do.
About the knife. New in the 2018 catalog as a Legacy edition of 250. W2 steel with a blue and white lucite handle packed in a wood box. I'm not a big fan of the sheath, it is a knife I think would do better with a pouch type sheath. Let's see you sheaths if any of you went with a custom. 2018 also saw a Yellowhorse model and a 30th BCCI edition. In hindsight I sure wish I had sprung for the Yellowhorse.
It's a Retro design. I see the 212 Skinner as a remake of the 1940's models 111 or 113 Skinner.

I missed out on that 2018 LE. One of a handful that I regret passing on.
 
Thank you Roger for the SPS week in and week out. I mostly read and rarely post, but I look forward it each week!
I was lucky enough to be at my computer doing some work when I saw the email come through for the Danny knives. I have been wanting a Yellowhorse (or that style) knife for years. Long before I was a member here I'd searched and looked. Seeing all the beautiful works of art shown every Sunday in these threads only reinforced that.
When I saw the turquoise skinner, it was the fastest I've ever made a decision regarding knives in my life (and that's honestly no exaggeration).

Edited to delete the pictures with questions on the turquoise as not to take away from the SPS!

I haven't cleaned the knife up at all since receiving it and also had a quick question for those who have customs or Yellowhorse knives with turquoise. Like I said, this is my first knife with any type of customization or turquoise, so go easy on me. I've seen some of the knives posted here over the years and I know the amount of knowledge on customs is a real gift and resource.
There are some leftover grind lines it looks like on the white turquoise. Does anyone know if this can be cleaned up or buffed out? I don't dare trust myself to mess with something like that, so any suggestions on where to go or who to ask? Or would it be best to keep it un-touched and as original as possible? Again, this is my first true custom knife. I'm ecstatic I was able to get one, just wanted some advice from those that have experience and held knives like this before. Thank you! Happy Sunday and I hope everyone has a great week.
Also, I don't mean to derail this thread, so if anyone has any ideas and thinks PM would be more appropriate regarding my questions, that works just as well.

I try not to be too critical about production knives, figuring they're tools first, and collectables second. But there's a couple of things I'd be disappointed with on this particular collectible. Hopefully you're example is unique..
Those marks are unacceptable. Simple as that. Polished stone should look wet on all surfaces, from every direction.
Additionally, the Rouge polish on the blade at the guard is unacceptable IMHO as well.

All that being said, the "Danny Collection" thread would be a better place for your post.

Thanks Roger and all who came to show their Bucks! I'm not posting from a machine with any images on it this evening, sorry...
 
Wow, I'm always in awe of the artful and interesting photos of knives you all present. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I never did make myself a PB&J sandwich today but in my defense Penny plied me with BBQ'd ribs for lunch.
I made a pig of myself eating all that pork till no room for a sandwich was left.

Another 212 for the show in Ironwood.

timbits588 - The turquoise on your 923 is fairly soft. You should be able to gently sand the edges with wet sandpaper Hard to say exactly which grit.
I have been an automotive painter for almost 45 years and am quite good with a buffer. Myself I would lightly sand the edges with 500 or 600 grit wet sandpaper using water
than move to 800 or 1000 grit and than again with 1500 or 2000, Than a light buff with a mechanical buffer and it would take care of the edges. I wouldn't get too aggressive
and cut the turquoise edges down too much because it would still need to blend into the guard. If you don't have much experience with a buffer I would leave it to someone
who knows what they are doing. I would hate to have your knife get ruined. Or you could buff it by hand if you have the correct buffing compound and polish.
You could send it to me and I would take care of it for you although I doubt you would get the knife back. LOL. Beautiful knife by the way.
