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. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

On This Day, July 21, 1873. Jesse James and his gang stage the first robbery of a moving train near Adair Iowa.
The gang had learned that a $75,000 shipment of gold was to be coming from the Cheyenne region. Frank James and Cole Younger went on to Omaha to learn when and returned with the information. Laying in wait, they had unfastened a rail and pulled it out as the train came around a curve. The locomotive was overturned, the engineer and fireman were killed, some passengers were injured. The gold shipment had been delayed and was not on the train. $2,000 was taken from the safe and another $1,000 from the passengers.

Not counting train robberies during the Civil War, this credit is in error because the first peacetime train robbery in the United States occurred on October 6, 1866, when the Reno gang robbed a train in Seymour, Indiana. They broke into one safe and tipped the other off the train before jumping off. Perhaps the operative words were "in the west".

Jesse James was not a folk hero but a cold blooded killer. Joining a gorilla group in 1864 at the age of 16, he participated in the massacre of 22 unarmed Union soldiers. Another 123 Union soldiers were killed in an ensuing battle. It became known as the Centralia Massacre. After the Civil War, beween 1866 and 1876, the James-Younger Gang reportedly robbed 12 banks, five trains, five stagecoaches and the gate cash box of the ticket booth at the Kansas City Exposition. They were believed to have killed between 12 and 17 people during that time.

Model 206 Windsor Steak knife set. First mention I see is in the '78 catalog for $100.
I emptied out the savings account, stuffed my pockets full of hundred dollar bills and went to a knife show in Washington Missouri Friday. There were quite a few Buck knives there, but the only thing that followed me home was this nice steak knife set. The Micarta color runs a bit towards the brownish. I'm getting old and cranky. It is annoying to me that more often than not the knifes are still in the sheaths and a lot of knives had no prices marked. I don't want to stand there opening sheaths or repetitvely asking "How much is this"?. Some display cases full of closed Buck sheaths, I didn't even bother to ask. One whole wall of tables was not even uncovered. Probably should have gone back the second day because surely I missed some good stuff. Oh, and I also picked up a 'pink' Mini Maglite for Penny.

So, political discourse is allowed?

High quality and artful images of Buck knives are always allowed.
My advice is to just admire the craftsmanship of the knives, photographic skills of the presenter, and nothing more.

Addendum: Chilebrown never comments on his knives here but they are the work of David Yellowhorse.

Good morning Roger, thanks for the Sunday Picture Show and thanks to all who post photos and comment.

I haven't been to a knife or gun show in years. Not sure when I stopped going but remember that prices were sky-high and selection was very poor. I found these steak knives at a flea market that I sometimes times make the trip to and occasionally find a good deal. Can't remember the price of these but I got them tried to sharpen and ended up sending to Buck for the SPA treatment. I would use them but have a Gerber Miming set that I use because of the sentimentality. Bought the box from BCCI when they were selling the steak knife sets a while ago. Would like an older one like yours. :thumbsup:

This 110 Two-Dot in honor of the 75 folks in Craven County NC losing their jobs after Weyerhaeuser announced this week that the sawmill is closing indefinitely (I'm not questioning their business decision, simply thinking about those folks and what they'll do for a living). This one came to me through a pawnshop 13 or 14 years ago, but was once a service or award knife to an employee. OH

Was this a knife show, a gun and knife show, or a gun show that had a few knives? All I have seen over the past few years around me are gun shows that have a few knives along with other random stuff. I would love to attend a show that had more knife options and a little more knife variety. This is an old 110 I picked up in January at a gun, jerky, honey, hot sauce, stamped concrete, and a few knives show.
