The Sunday Picture Show (August 29, 2021)

[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)

On this day in history... August 29-30, 1862
The Second Battle of Bull Run. To the Confederacy it was known as The Battle of Second Manassas. I did not realize until now they were the same battle. The Union tended to name battles for the location, Bull Run Creek, the Confederacy named the battles for the nearest town or settlement, in this case Manassas Junction, a strategically important railroad location. The Commanding General for the Union was Maj. Gen John Pope with about 77,000 troups. For the Confederacy was Gen. Robert E Lee with 50,000 troops. There were 6 other Major Generals present for the Union and 3 for the Confederacy making a total of 11 Generals.

How many Generals can we post for our show this week?
I know Buck did do some Civil War themed knives, now would be a good time to share some of those also.

First up from me. The August BOTM 120 General with Ironwood handles. Surely a bunch of these hit forum members mailboxes this past week, I would love to see all of your handles.

 

[Tecate]

Here is the 120 Ironwood BOTM I received along with the 119 variant.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Wow Tecate , I really like that 119

 

[Tecate]

Wow Tecate , I really like that 119

Thank you. That is the best looking Ironwood that I have received from Buck...so far. It's a keeper.

I pulled some modern day Generals out of the closet for a group photo.

These are my 119/120 pairs... I wish the custom shop did 120's so I can pair my Chip Flint 119 Buckeye Burl with a 120.

Top down: Ironwood, D2 Heritage, Cocobolo/Brass, Standard and Pro.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Geesh... those are tough acts to follow. Here is the 2013 120 General Buffalo Chip Flint. A different one each year including the Kalinga, 110, and 112. Interestingly, eventually every 100 series knife was included except the 105. Never understood that.

 

[DeSotoSky]

caquino Very nice, I've thought about 110/112 matching pairs but 119/120 pairs never occurred to me.

I'm thinking this has the makings to be a really good show this week.

Greetings,
120 and 119.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Old reposts are welcome to the show. Here is a pair of mine. Both are 3-spacer.
Remember, ALL Bucks qualify, you don't have to play follow the leader.

No 120's or 119's so a 212 will have to do.

I texted a friend when the Buck of the month email came. To make sure he knew, because he had shown interest in getting one. He asked if I was going to buy one. My reply was that, I liked the ironwood handle, but I don't have a use for a knife of that style. I don't hunt and my 110 has always been more than enough knife for camping. Plus I'm expecting some large medical bills, so I was going to pass. Monday evening he gifted me this.

I still don't have a use for it, but it sure is pretty.

O.B.

Thanks for sharing. Is that the Silver Knights issue?

 

[mbkr]

Thanks for sharing. Is that the Silver Knights issue?

Yes it is. Micarta/D2 steel.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Yes it is. Micarta/D2 steel.

I like yours, it has some pattern and color. Mine looks almost black to casual observation.

It is called pride of ownership, a use in and of itself.... the driving force for collectors.

 

[bucksway]

If I get over 112's..I think the 120 is a good one.

Thanks. It is a good looking knife, but lighting does make a difference. It looks a lot less patterned in slightly different light.

 

[jbmonkey]
