The Sunday Picture Show (August 22, 2021)

Be on the lookout for 'Natalie' who scrimed nautical themes back in the early 80's for Buck. I have a couple of 112's by her and the only information I found about her was a advertising in a Boating magazine..
 
Hi All, hope you are having a fantastic SPS! Thank you folks for all the great photos, grate job hosting this event each week Roger. I've been looking at the show from work today when time permitted. Bruce, what is the number of your scrim Americas cup?

Here are a few more ship adorned Bucks for the show.

Be sure to get a picture of that 119 in use for Makael's "True Buck Users" thread. I'm going to try and get one of my Froe tomorrow hacking and wacking.

James, the knife I show in post #2 has the same artist mark as yours. You say it is Mastodon. Mine is smooth and slick white. How do I tell if it is Mastodon or plastic?
 
For me if I look with a magnifying glass you can usually see a grain on the ends or sides on mastodon but sometimes it's hard even than. Since I am an autobody painter I have 2000, 3000, and even 4000 grit sandpaper on hand. If you lightly sand a tiny spot on the end, side or back just enough to get a bit of white from the handle scale on the sandpaper than smell it. Ivory has a rotten nasty almost rotting flesh smell to it while plastic is pretty much odorless. By using such fine sandpaper it's easy to polish it back out if needed. It's obvious on my 525 that it's ivory simply by the look. Yours being so clear and white it's hard to tell just by the appearance. Let us know what you figure out please.
 
Makael Makael Wow, now that is a really special knife Mike. Thank for showing it (and your Paradigms) :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I've never seen a guard like that, it is strikingly unique.
I would have never guessed it was a limited edition if Buck had not labeled it as such.

Haebbie Haebbie I think we could do a 2 man show with just the little ones.
It always amazes me how many nice Bucks you've collected given the logistics (and cost) of being on the other side of the Atlantic.
What kind of fur are you using for a background?

Could be possible. Because I have no chance to bring complete displays with me to the next BCCI anniversary meeting I plan to make photos and show them there.
Thank you for your kind words. The most knives I got from the USA. It is hard to see that the shipping fee increases a lot. Twice the price within 3 years. That's unbelievable.
The furs I used is from a roe.

I'm always impressed with the knives this show drags out of the closets. No one has fired me yet and you all keep coming so let's do this again. The August BOTM 120's will be hitting the mailboxes soon. For the next SPS let's see them, and any other Generals you might have laying around. Please remember though, ALL Buck knives are wanted for the show, you don't have to follow the leader in order to play. Feel free to continue posting and commenting here until then but be sure to save something for the next show. /Roger
