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 week I'm showing a model 110, the TC No. 5. I have copied the description from the February 1995 Newsletter.
T. C. RAMHORN HUNTER - Produced for Thompson/Center Arms. Rochester, NH. A model #110 Folding Hunter with a standard satin finish engraved blade, standard brass sides with ramhorn inlays. Packaged in a custom box with a burgundy embossed leather sheath. Serialized 001/250.
It can be found listed in the 1995 Special Projects list. Original MSRP was $111. I was really fortunate to snag this 110 from one of Larry Oden's consignment lists. In 2005 (20 years later) Buck made another knife for Thompson Center, the elusive No. 15 Nessmuk. 150 Nessmuk's were made. It's on my unobtanium list.

thank you both for your comments on it. I'm no wood species expert fella, but I found the listing for it. appears wonderboy is right.....

Thread 'Does anyone visit here anymore? Lol two 110s for sale' https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/does-anyone-visit-here-anymore-lol-two-110s-for-sale.1770895/

don't know if this is a poor or excellent example of snakewood..just liked the timascus and patterns in the wood, is why I got it back then.....
 
Good Morning Friends, I find the TC knives interesting as I have a few TC rifles. Amazingly accurate.

But, I am cleaning up the accumulation and thought yall might find these interesting.
The copper insert is from a piece of the statue from its restoration process. If you can expand and read the certificate, the signature is quite interesting. The small little lockbacks are as well.IMG_E7257.JPGIMG_E7258.JPG

Well it isnt going to let me load the cert. But in a nutshell it tells about the 1986-1992 Restoration of the Statue of Liberty and the small medallions being from that restoration.
But what I found most interesting is the cert is signed by Lee Iacocca Chairman Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Foundation
The knives are an 825 and 826 Mint of course even if my bad photography shows different.
 
Aluminum frame. I noticed a couple of 110's above without nail nicks. This is the only 110 I have without a nick. I don't think any 112/110 needs a nick if you have warm, dry hands. Cold and wet, the nick may be a good thing to have.
