The Sunday Picture Show (February 5, 2023)

[DeSotoSky]

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)

Birth year for both of my parents

Interesting tidbit. Cecil B DeMille produced The Ten Commandments twice, 1923 and 1956.
Charleton Heston was born in 1923 and starred in the 1956 version. The #1 film in that year also.

This week I have some 175 Lightning HTA II knives. They came in a wide variety of handles and scenes. The smaller 170 Lightning HTA I was not offered in as wide a variety of handles and no scenic artwork that I recall. The similar model 176 has a carbon fiber handle. HTA stood for High-Tek Aluminum. I have about 30 of these in my collection. Thought about finding them all for a family photo but quickly gave up on how long it would take to find them, take them out of boxes etc etc. I'll leave showing the others as an opportunity for the rest of you.

Another very nice Buck 118 you have there Preston. Wife and I going to downsize the contents of a storage building later on, that will call for a convenient but durable knife - Vantage 345. OH

Wow nice Radio, Chilebrown, oh yeah Buck sign too! Lol!! I really like your Barehead 2023 knife.

 

[bucktool]

Nice Bucks everyone. Chilebrown I really like your 110.
This is a strange 360 BuckTool, it was in the 1997 catalog but it has 1996 blades no nail nicks.
The BuckTool 360CL has a pocket clip, it did not come with a sheath.

Note the icon stamps are on the pocket clip.

No nail nicks.

jbmonkey . How do you like the D2 steel? I was thinking about making the 119 heritage my new user. I know d2 will slice and dice toilet paper like no one’s business but don’t have any experience with it as a knife steel.

 

[Uncle Timbo]

Thank you Roger for the SPS. Also thanks to all for posting pictures of your beautiful Buck knives. I always like to have my custom 110 out while I look at all of them.

 

[BennyBlade]

It's a nice compadre. Just gotta keep it clean sharp and oiled. I dig the micarta.

i think ya know im not a fan but in case ya arent heckling me.......

I'm not a fan of it. this was the buck bf forum knife skblades had Buck make. for some reasons, everyone here picked d2 over the other choices. I was collecting these 104s for awhile, so had to have one.

it's a hard steel to get sharp....it's holds an edge decently but for the time it take to put an edge back on it, it's not that great. does better with a toothy edge than a polished one. it's toughness isn't great.....and it's corrosion resistance is okay. as it's not a stainless, but very close chromium wise.

for a knife this size d2 is fine, long as hard batonning isnt happening or really hammering on it. on a bigger blade there is better choices with better toughness.

on a 119 I prefer 5160, 3v, 420hc, s30v. in that order.

I have a d2 heritage and it's fine if it's used as a knife to cut and slice and whittle etc...not a pry bar etc.
