The Sunday Picture Show (February 21, 2021)

@chilebrown, I looked hard at that presidential 110 set when it came out, I don't recall who had it.
I remember asking if the images would come off if the brass was polished and don't think I got an answer.
 
Buck 110 Auto,

You say 70 views?... half might be mine:eek:
just kidding.
This is a great Thread, we all love our Buck knives, and we eagerly look forward to the beloved SPS every week (imho)
You and @ItsTooEarly and all Buck fans here are doing a great Pay forward service.:thumbsup:

Yeah, sorry about that, dinner call came just after I had started to post so I just locked it.
When I came back I was shocked to see that the unfinished post already had over 70 views.

(repost) The other Buck Caping knife. The model 474. This is an Alaskan Guide Series knife done for Cabela's. It's a beautiful and unique knife and must have been an exclusive for Cabela's as this is the only example of this 474 pattern being used that I know of. A rosewood handle and a nice glossy black titanium nitride coated blade in S30V steel and as found on all knives in the Alaskan Guide Series. No model number or date code is imprinted on the blade. I found this knife listed in the 2008 special projects list with a build quantity of 1,000. I find it hard to believe that they built 1,000 of these as this is the only one I have ever seen. It's a tiny knife, just like its 475 Mini Mentor sibling. Too small for my big hands, probably perfect for jbmonkey jbmonkey . What differs it from the Mini Mentor is the Choil/Tang area which is formed for a choked up hold. A related knife is the 477 Caping Knife with a guthook. The last picture shows a 475 Mini Mentor, a 474 Caping knife, and a 477 Caping knife.

Great show this Sunday. Great to see Armand made it to post a few pictures and thanks to all who come here to enjoy Buck Knives with us all.

Of the Mentor family I only have 2 475 Mini Mentors. One in stag and one in ebony and ivory. Notice the difference in the grind lines.

I just polished these knives before I took the photo. I used "Miracle Cloth". It uses coconut oil and is not abrasive. The bolsters do tarnish like any other brass 110. They cleaned up nice. Do you remember who originally distributed these knives?

Can not remember who had them, I think it was about 2015.
