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.

Yes, thanks Desoto for putting this in, I enjoy it every Sunday, and thanks to those who post. I really enjoy the history facts.

Here are my two from Christmas time..presents to myself. A regular 112 and then one in micarta and Magnacut I got from a member here. The finger grooves were a nice bonus. 😛IMG_1060.jpeg
 
Sometimes I think too much about what knife I want to play with…..just sitting in the couch and watching tv…so I just leave a few in the armrest compartment, and just grab what comes out first. Then I got to thinking do we think too much about what would be for EDC that day? Maybe we should just grab what is in the dresser and just use what you got. Then again, maybe that is why we like to contemplate what to choose, we have the freedom to choose and enjoy the process…like hey this is blue and has a neat handle or blade shape, etc……glad we have the freedom to choose from the variety out there. Am I waxing too poetic? Is this the “enjoy the journey more than the destination” kind of thing? All this before breakfast, but I did have coffee…that explains my behavior.😜

I've noticed that the Sunday Picture Show has one of the highest view counts for a non recurring thread. Last weeks SPS for example has a view count of 2K. That's a lot of lurkers, where do they come from? I sure didn't get that many likes... :rolleyes:

The other white one. Corian 124 Frontiersman c.1991.

That’s a lot of views! I will open these threads several times during the day to check out new posts. I’m sure other members do as well, but that certainly doesn’t account for 2,000 views. If you are just lurking please feel free to join in even if it’s just a “like”. New posters are always a welcome sight to the show!

As always, thank you Roger for the show. I don’t always post pics but I do at least try to visit every week. 🙂
