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 22, 1940, Unternehmen Wikinger (Germany's Operation Viking, WWII)
In a disastrous friendly-fire incident known as Operation Wikinger, the German Luftwaffe sank two of their own German destroyers—the Leberecht Maass and Max Schultz—in the North Sea. Only 60 sailors were rescued with the loss of almost 600. This event is considered one of the worst friendly-fire incidents in naval history. Six German destroyers were on a mission to attack the British fishing fleet operating in the North Sea because they were also suspected of spying on German operations. The disaster was caused by failed lines of communication between the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) and Air Force (Luftwaffe) to inform each other of their respective ongoing operations.

About 1990 there were 2 different runs of white 124's. One run of 250 was white Corian for the US market. The other was White Paper Micarta shown below. It was a run of 250 for the German market. The German Importer was Herbertz. Unlike the solid white Corian handles, the Paper Micarta handles display some micro fissures when looked at on edge.
