The Sunday Picture Show (August 24, 2025)

[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. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

I need a "bye week" but two interesting things did happen on August 24th for anyone who wants to be their own Google historian.
.
August 24th 2006, Pluto demoted from full planetary status.

The GuildMasters. This short lived set of knives made 2 different appearances. Initially appearing as the GuildMaster 1, 2 and 3 series in the 1988 and 1989 catalog. They reappear briefly a few years later in the 90's as part of the Workman product line as the Contractor Pro-1000, 3000 and 5000. Catalog numbers changed between the two series. The Workman line was available boxed or clam. Some had WORKMAN cast on the handle instead of BUCK. I suspect they stamped alot of blades in 1988 and the knife never sold as well as hoped. Shown below is a GuildMaster-1 model 811 (missing the bail) and a GuildMaster-2 model 812.

New in the 1988 catalog

Thank you Roger for doing the Sunday Picture Show. A Bye Week is much deserved. There is more than one way to skin a critter.

I hope everyone's having a good weekend. I look forward to seeing all these fine, and sometimes unusual knives that Buck produced every Sunday. So thanks for hosting, Roger.

My Buck "collection" consists mostly of a few 110 and 112 users, so whatever knife I happen to be carrying on Sunday is usually my humble contribution to the SPS. Todays carry:

Like the GuildMasters posted by Roger, this knife from the 1988 Catalog had a short life.

I read in the Traditional Forum that it is National Knife Day today. I'll post a picture of the first Buck Knife I owned, this 301 from December 1972.

Good morning! My thanks to our host, Roger, as well as everyone else. Every week I see Buck knives that I never new existed!

and the knife never sold as well as hoped.

Breaking into an established market is tough. People in the construction trades already had well known brands to choose from.

Thanks everyone for keeping this Sunday Picture Show alive and well. Had a cold front come thru last night. 54* for a low this morning and a high of 75*!
Quite a break from the heat and humidity we have been having. Going to do a couple t-bones on the grill for Sunday dinner from a beef we had butchered. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Happy SPS

Thanks for getting it started Roger. You're due a bye week

It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit the sun. IOW in the time since Pluto was discovered in 1930, was classified as a planet, and then declassified as a planet, it has yet to complete an orbit of the sun.

In 5 billion years or so, when the Sun becomes a red giant and consumes Mercury, Venus, and the Earth, Pluto will be like, "Who's not a planet now?"


Buck 810. Similar but different
