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, February 1st, 1968, South Vietnamese police chief Nguyễn Ngọc Loan executes Viet Cong captain Nguyễn Văn Lém.
Lém was a captain in the Viet Cong. He and his wife lived as undercover arms traffickers in Saigon, trading tires as a front business. Loan was the chief of the Republic of Vietnam National Police and a brigadier general of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. The photograph was taken by Associated Press photojournalist Eddie Adams. Published extensively in the news, it would win Adams the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and the 1968 World Press Photo of the Year. Video of the incident can be found on YouTube if you care to look. Lem was captured near a site where the family of South Vietnamese officer Nguyen Tuan was found murdered. It is suggested that Loan executed Lem for the murder of the officer and his family. Shot 3 times, a 9 year old boy survived. That boy grew up to become an officer in the United States Navy. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, Loan emigrated to the United States. He never escaped the stigma of the portrayal in that image and the photographer Adams regretted the negative effect the image had on Loans Life. There was an attempt to deport him for a war crime ln 1978 but President Carter intervened.

Thanks for another Sunday Picture Show, Roger. Thanks also to those who post photos and comment.
I remember seeing that photo when it was published, three years later I was in the RVN.
This first edition of We Are Knifemakers had some fine pieces. Do love some shokwood and chipped flint...

Good Morning to everyone on this fine Sunday. Many Thanks to Roger and all who participate in today's Sunday Picture Show. For your review, an early/mid-eighties Stag handled 119 with Custom sheath. A home spa revealed a few minor defects with a somewhat dulled factory edge.

Purchased through an online auction, it was not looking it's best when received........

My thanks to Roger and everybody else who add to the ever famous, ever anticipated... SPS. I so look forward to it and I love the handles on all the knives!
I was in junior high/high school during the Vietnam war and I remember that photo along with the naked little girl crying in the street.
Check out the full Snow moon tonight.
 
Thanks for the SPS & history lesson, Roger. I was over there at the time that pic was taken, but I'm not going to comment.

I have somewhere over a dozen Bucks, which is more than anybody I know personally, but it's nice to see everybody's collections, and the unique Bucks every Sunday. Meanwhile, here I am, posting my daily carry every week.

Thanks Roger for the Sunday Picture Show and the History lesson. This is a take apart Aluminum club knife from the 1918 BCCI reunion in Post Falls. The original scales are desert Ironwood, but optional G-10 scales were also offered. The CPM S-110-V after market blade has over 30% Carbides by volume.

That slip joint looks huge compared to the knife above it. Both beautiful nonetheless!

The 317 is a beast of a folding knife. It is as big or possibly bigger than similar brands.

kyhunt kyhunt , I dearly love these Bucks. I'm on the prowl for a used 301 just like these for an EDC.

I’ve had a long passion for the 300 series. I don’t have a lot but the 301 in the picture I’ve had since mid 80’s. I inherited it.

The 307,303 and 309 were all finds off the big auction bay several years ago. Each one was between $20 -$30. I haven’t been over there in awhile it would imagine if you looked around deals might still be around. 👍
