The Sunday Picture Show (December 4th, 2022)

[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)



This Day in History, December 4th, 1619 38 settlers from England arrive in Virginia near Jamestown and hold a Thanksgiving celebration to thank god for their safe arrival after a 10 week journey. Contrary to popular belief, this first real American Thanksgiving was held a year before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, and two years before the fabled New England feast.
About the Picture Painted 1912-15 by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris almost 300 years later is histoically inaccurate. The settlers did not wear clothing that looked like that. The Wampanoag are incorrectly dressed in the style of Native Americans from the Great Plains and did not wear feathered war bonnets. Nor would they have been sitting on the ground. I wonder about the dinner table and blockhouse seen in the background. Interesting read here....

Since the first real "Thanksgiving" in America was in Virginia I have a Virginia themed knife. Limited edition of 350 in 2004.

These are my most used Buck knives. Come to think of it. I havent used any other Buck knives this year. I had to postpone my Outer Banks fishing trip and my Thanksgiving week West Virginia deer season this year. There is an upcoming West Virginia doe only weekend where I will hopefully bring and put to use a 118.

Nothing fancy today. Sure makes for a good pocket knife though

Happy SPS to one and All!

Thank you Roger for hosting this weekly event, and a tip of the hat to each of you who post photos or add to the conversations.

I can play in the Virginia themed knife photos inspired by "this day in History bite".

I don't have any Virginia knives, but we do have some Virginia Creeper. The knife is a 105 with brown burlap micarta and a 420HC blade. I bought this from Makael a year or two ago, and it may be a Pro Series prototype.

Happy Sunday to all. Thanks for keeping it going. I always love to stop by even when I can’t contribute.

This week I’ve got a Virginia knife so I thought I’d share. Hope everyone has a great day with family and friends.

I love those long blade Vanguards.

I love those long blade Vanguards.

I do as well. I wish they’d have made a bigger run, or brought them into production. Although I picked this one up after I got a tip they were still available years later on Virginia Wildlife website. Go figure.

I saw this very goose which was used as a model for my Buck 110 blade etch fly right over my blind (that sits between Back Bay and Currituck Sound on the VA/NC line). The blade etch is so good on this Buck 110 that I can state it is the same Virginia goose without reservation! Then I cleaned this duck a little later in the morning using a Buck 212 - that duck flew out of VA right by my blind, then suddenly it quit flying. OH
Ps If I took any liberties with my description of the events as I remember them, then I apologize to anyone offended.

Thanks to Roger for some history and everybody else for contributing. I too have nothing from Virginia except the fact I was born less than 10 miles from their border just 'west' of them.
No disrespect to our nation intended but I always thought the Thanksgiving celebration looked like this...

i think this is my best find at the factory sale--this was a sample knife found and brought out for the sale--actually got it on second day....sample for the 110 botm--this knife did not get picked and was set aside....i love it!!!!!!

Thanks once again for the History lesson and the picture show Roger. I am drawing a complete blank on Virginia/Pilgrim knives. I do however have a Faux Paleolithic Buck, “knapped steel”, which looks older than it is.View attachment 2007193

My Vanguard

 

[Tecate]

The knife above posted by D DDDWho is just like the very first Buck knife I purchased from Amazon for a big discount. Needless to say, that purchase led to many, many more Buck knives.

192 Vanguards: Joe Houser "Grill", Joe Houser stacked RWB Lucite, and Ram's Horn.

I was going through some of KathyJo's things with my daughters today and found this little Buck..I had given to Kathy in 2018 and right after that she lost it. It was in a small zippered pouch in one of her MANY purses lolol! David Dowdy embellished it with a dot pattern and included it in the package with a truly beautiful Custom 112 he made for me. I was hoping to find it..

Fantastic show, enjoying all of the knives and conversations!

Forgot to add this little Virginia beauty.
