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 5th, 1933. Ratification of the 21st Ammendment ending Prohibition.
What better way to celebrate than opening a few cold ones today with a Buck bottle opener.

Here is a cute little Buck knife, the 759 Metro. A keychain bottle opener with what must be Buck's tiniest blade. These came in a wide variety of colors and were also popular for promotional logos. New in 2002, I last found it in the 2016 catalog. First made in China, the 2009 catalog shows a made in USA logo. With that move, the blade steel changed from 420J2 to 420HC. An example of Buck bringing some production from China to the USA. I do not have one to show but there was a plastic version with a LED light, the model 758 Metro.

Buck deer head keychain bottle opener. I believe these were included in an ornamental tin with a 2005 Idaho tang Buck 110.

Special thanks go out to Mike who helped me getting this awesome 110.
Micarta slabs, S30V blade, single NS brushed bolsters… and a pocket clip.
In August 2020 it was BOTM. She makes me smile :-)

Thanks for another Sunday Picture Show, Roger. Thanks also to all who participate with photos and comments.
I thought the Metro was an interesting knife, but never bought one. I like the traditional ones, sometimes with a unique twist like this...

Thank you Roger for the SPS and another History lesson. The Model 110 take apart Aluminum knife came in 2 versions. The BCCI Club knife had brass T-nuts inserted in the handles to accommodate the scale retention screws. The Legacy Models utilize tapped holes in the Aluminum to anchor the scales.
The Club knife has the handle plates and the rocker permanently riveted together whereas the Legacy has a stud on one side to provide a rocker pivot.View attachment 1695822View attachment 1695823

Wow -- those are really something! Can you tell us a bit more about them? What material are the scales?

The scales are cross-cut mammoth tusk (fossil ivory) to the best of my knowledge. Always love mammoth but these are the only two cross-cuts I have in the collection. They were close at hand this morning so they were the subjects for this Sunday ;)

Honestly, I was thinking mammoth tusk — but, I’ve never seen anything like yours before, so wasn’t really sure. I think the cross-cut explains it. Really extraordinary and unique!
