The Sunday Picture Show (January 8th, 2022)

[topgun03]

Wow, you really found a nice one! OH

Thanks, the horizontal stamped ones don’t appear very often.

Mini mentors here

Thanks for another wonderful show.

I saw a couple of finger groove 110s which prompted me to take a picture of these finger groove/serrated custom shop 110s. Some elk, sambar stag, black palmwood, water buffalo, buckeye burl, and ironwood.

Nice knives this morning fellas. That's a well done photo of the 444 redsparrow . Special Thanks to Roger and all who participate.

Somewhat of an underdog, the infrequently posted Pursuit series. The 659-large & 661-small folders. The 659 is a great game knife. Really like the sheaths for these folders.

Thank you Matthewstock. The 444s may have been inexpensive (now discontinued) but they are worthy of being located, used and placed in a decent photo. Mine is Pure EDC, a joy to carry and use.

BTW, nice Pursuits... ^^^

On this snowy morning a pair of Cabela's AG 110s, the way the Good Lord intended, with DLC coated S30V blades. The '04 model sports a stamped tang while the '14 has an etched tang.

... and those Alaskan Guides ^^^ WOW!

 

[tiguy7]

A nice brace of Alaskan Guides. I think the '04 model would be TiN, not DLC. Anyone?

4 of Buck’s PVD coatings include L to R: DLC, TiN, ZrN, and TiAlN.View attachment 2039876

Thanks Roger for doing the Sunday Picture Show and the History lesson. It reminded me of the song by Johnny Horton. Here are a couple of 560’s that my son in law anodized in his garage.

Happy Sunday! Thanks for keeping this going Roger!

The only Mentor I have. It was a Blade Show award knife.
Damascus and wenge or something else I can't remember off hand...

 

[kyhunt]

Thank you for the SPS. Since a few AG 110’s have been posted I might as well post one of mine.

Hi All & Happy SPS,

Thank you Roger for hosting the weekly event, and thanks to all who post photos/conversation.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Thanks T tiguy7 for the reminder of the Johnny Horton song. Can't believe I didn't remember it.
Here is a working link with pictures along with the audio.

 

[ncnurseryman]

Thank you Roger for the Sunday Picture Show, also, to all who post photos and comment.
Copper and carbon fiber, drop point 110...

Love the copper. I would like to see Buck offer that in future knives

Thanks Roger for keeping the Picture Show going! Thanks to everyone who contributes. There are some beautiful knives there! Here is an previously posted photo.

 

[wouter1967]

My 4-dot with a 2-dot sheath.

 

[Uncle Timbo]

My thanks to Roger and everyone else for pics of your stunning knives.

 

[Hickory n steel]

My new orange LT off the web specials just arrived.

 

[matthewtstock]

A nice brace of Alaskan Guides. I think the '04 model would be TiN, not DLC. Anyone?

So about 15 minutes of research on the subject has left me with no clear indication. I can say in the hand and at the same angle to light the 04 and 14 blade finishes appear identical.


Quite nice LT you've got there Hickory n steel . Very nice blade profile/grind.

 

[bucksway]

This is a really odd 112..Built to display with a 186 it feels good in hand but I have so many users I just plan to display it..

 

[FranklinG]

Thanks for the great photos and bit of history! I don't usually get here on Sundays, but I always look forward to reading this thread on Monday morning.
