The Sunday Picture Show (December 10th, 2023)

[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)


Almost on this day... December 9th, 1965 "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (Thanks Uncle Timbo for the link.)
The basic story line is Charlie Browns disenchantment with the commercialization of Christmas.
"Look, Charlie, let's face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket,"
cynical Lucy says as the Peanuts gang attempts to produce a Christmas play.
Peanuts is based on a comic strip created in 1950 by Charles Schultz. Actual children were used for the voices. 9 year old Peter Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown. Studio executives, were not impressed, had some concerns about the use of some religious themes, and sure it was destined to be a flop. Quite the contrary, it is estimated that half the American TV households tuned in and it had a highly popular reception.

What better way to celebrate the Peanuts holiday cartoon classic than with a display of Buck's own classic Peanut sized knife, the model 305 Lancer and its handsome cousin, the 705 Pony. If you've got em, let's see em. (edit..and the ChinaBuck 375)

Just to demonstrate how small the 305 is. Lost in my size 2XL hand. 2 pin GYS.

1989 Stag

Chairman c.2010

Life's Little Tangles decorative tin. c.1997

Custom 305 with file work, maker unknown. Note Idaho stamp on secondary blade.

Thanks so much for doing this!

Ok a couple things here. I only have a couple 305's and one 375 but they are great little knives.

Second, Peanuts was big in my house growing up. I'm not sure how many times I've watched a Charlie Brown Christmas, but it's more than a few. It was probably my first introduction to jazz as a kid.

Oh wow, I forgot about the Jazz music soundtrack. (and the 375)
The Linus and Lucy piano solo is an unforgettable classic.
Here it is...

The first version of the 305 (1968-1971) had handle pins and a small EZ Open notch. Later versions had a large notch.

I bought this 703 about 40 years ago & it's been around. I retired it long ago because the wood was starting to split.

 

[honestlyinsane]

Only one I own . Not into these type of knives but I like the charcoal scales.

Roger, I think the 505, 506, and 507 fit the peanut size knife.
