July 13th thru 16th, 1863 - The New York City Draft Riots
The New York Draft Riots occurred in July 1863, when the anger of working-class New Yorkers over a new federal draft law during the Civil War sparked five days of some of the bloodiest and most destructive rioting in U.S. history. Hundreds of people were killed, many more seriously injured, and Black New Yorkers were often the target of the rioters’ violence. History.com

Thank you again for the SPS and history lesson. Nothing new here. Not even a new photo.The heatwave has my mind on fall. When I think of fall I think of stag.

Yes and who knows? This is a proto-type blade that most likely was etched by Aurum. The handle was modified probably by an employee. This knife was never put into production. Like some of my knives the history is only speculation.

Nice Alpha!

Thanks for the show Roger.

Here's my 2.

 

[Old Hunter]

These two, a 301 SFO and the Buck 120 are the only two stag handled Buck Knives that I own (or that I can think of).

Well that's pretty cool

Happy SPS

Back, ah jeez it must be 25+ years ago now, I was doing some work in Joplin, MO. When returning to home base in Jefferson City, I would usually stop at Sheperd Hills in Lebanon. They always had nice clean restrooms ...and a lot of Buck and Case knives

So, I'm doing a quick pass by the Case and Buck displays on my way to the restroom and I see a display of Buck 470s marked $9.95 A few feet farther down I see an identical knife marked $29.95

To the nice lady behind the counter:

"What's the difference between the ten dollar Buck 470 and the thirty dollar Buck 470?"
"That's the old model. It comes with a plastic sheath. the new model comes with a nylon sheath."
I bought two of the ten dollar ones and gave one to my good friend, Ralph

Thank you for another interesting history lesson and your continued hosting of the SPS! That’s a very nice 693.

I’ve never seen one like that either, I like it thanks for posting.

I love the users as well as the safe queens. They’re all pretty in my eyes.

These two, a 301 SFO and the Buck 120 are the only two stag handled Buck Knives that I own (or that I can think of).

Wonderful 120, OH.

Thank you Roger for the History lesson and doing the Sunday Picture Show. The race and class systems prevalent in 1864 surely contributed to the draft riots. Thank God that we’ve corrected all those disparities. I couldn’t help but notice the similarity between a sandwich spreader and a buffalo skinner. I wonder if buffalo hunters had access to peanut butter and sliced bread.

 

[tongueriver]

The first collectible (rather than tool like my screwdrivers) that I ever owned, a gift in 2007. Bone covers added later by Kaleb (Muskrat Man).

 

[BuckShack]

Happy SPS everyone. Great knives as always! Carrying a 301 Stockman anticipating upcoming offerings. I'll get an Ebony for sure but this one sure is pretty.

 

[jbmonkey]

thanks Roger for hosting....

 

[pat9198]

Recent Stealth Run 009 Ebony 111, and Ironwood 55 that was the BOTM in June 2023. The ironwood on the 55 is pretty dark which makes this pair fit well together.
