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. Enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

The USS Constitution sailing under own power for the first time in 116 years for her 200th anniversary celebration 1797-1997.
Blue Angles for the photo bomb. The oldest ship still afloat and retired from active service in 1881. Still a fully comissioned Naval ship with a crew of 75, all active duty Navy. Quick specs, length 307', beam 43', main mast 220', draft 24', sail area 42,710 sq ft (that is about 1 acre). Only about 10-15% of the ship is original wood and none of the armament. The Wiki article is an interesting read.

Good morning everyone. This week I have a 500 Duke with a gold etch of the USS Constitution. These can be found documented on the 1988 Special Projects list. 3 different versions are listed. The teak handle and medallion are actual materials taken from the ship during renovation. My knife shown below is variation #3.
#1 Gold etch image, teak handle, medallion, serial numbered, qty listed 500
#2 Same as above but black etch
#3 Birch handle and no medallion or serial number




Good
