The Sunday Picture Show (August 14, 2022)

[DeSotoSky]

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)

This Day in History August 14, 1945. V-J Day. (August 15 in Japan) Unconditional surrender of Japan. The bombing of Hiroshima on Aug 6th and Nagasaki on Aug 9th brought the war to a much quicker close as the battle to take the Japanese home islands by force was expected to be hard fought and costly, with some military leaders suggesting it could take another 2 years. The official surrender took place on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri.


This weeks knife is a random pick from the cabinet. I scored this one at a knife show in 2017. N/S frame, Deer Head Cut-Out, serialized to 500. The 2001 Special Projects list shows such a knife with a Rosewood handle as 110SP25. My knife sports a Snakewood and Mother of Pearl handle. Dimpling along the inlays and perimeter along with filework along the spine and rocker finish off the package. No paperwork or box came with it but the style to me, particularly the dimpling, suggests a Michael Prater custom creation. Anyone familiar with Prater customs have an idea about that?

Thank you, Roger for another spectacular Sunday Picture Show and for the sobering reminder of VJ Day.
I look forward to all the beautiful Buck knives.

Thank you Roger for the History lesson and for doing the Sunday Picture Show. While the Surrender was being signed, my dad’s ship, the USS Cassin Young was limping back to San Francisco having been struck by a Kamikaze on 31/7/1945. This is a picture of DD 793, now a museum, in Charlestown Naval Yard Boston, MA.
The knives shown today illustrate touching up a micro edge on an S-90-V blade using a ZrN BuckCote blade at HRC 86. The light “steeling” is done edge leading on the sides of the ceramic coated blade. The Champagne color of the coat does not show up very well in this photo. I have a set of Craftsman drill bits coated with the same material.View attachment 1899427View attachment 1899426

Well I have no cutouts, but I figured I would add a couple of aluminum 110's (111) this morning along with my late fathers buck belt buckle he wore daily in his later years.
Thank you for the SPS again Pete

Thanks for hosting another SPS!

You forced me to dig out my CKS Elk 110 from late 2018 to finally take some pictures. S30V serrated blade and finger grooved handle. I am not sure why went with a nylon sheath on a custom knife, but maybe to minimize costs. (Nothing wrong with nylon but for a CKS knife i think leather would be more appropriate.) I think I have a Hitch & Timber 110 sheath I can us for this...

Edit: I should have included my Dad joined the Navy when he was 17 (his parents had to sign for him). He fought in the Pacific Theatre during WWII on a destroyer.

Another great SPS and some awesome knives! Thanks everyone for posting, and thanks Roger for keeping this going every Sunday.

My dad was a WWII Army Veteran, 11th Airborne. I remember him saying how happy everyone was on V-J Day. Shortly after that the 11th Airborne was called into Japan around the Nagasaki area, as part of the US Occupied Forces. I remember him telling us about the total devastation of Nagasaki.

The knife I'm posting today is a custom Buck 110 by Leroy Remer. Buffalo horn, burgandy and white mammoth tooth spacer.

Nice.
The nylon sheath is very friendly to that knife if it's gonna be stored in a sheath.

 

[Vaporstang]

GPyro That's a good point!

 

[gedlicks]

Happy Sunday to all you Buck nuts and thank you to all for posting your great knives. For today I have a Boone and Crockett Buck 110 that was made in 2012.
