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)

L to R Lewis, Seaman, Clark, York, and Sacagawea with her baby.

This day in history, July 24, 1799 William Clark inherits the slave York from his father. Can't really say it was an important day in history but it is an excuse for me to delve into two lesser known members of the famous expedition, a black man named York and a black dog named Seaman. William Clark brought his slave York on the 1803-1806 exploration of the newly acquired lands of the Louisiana purchase. York contributed as much as any man to the success of the expedition. At the end of the three year expedition the (white) men all received grants of land and bonuses. York felt he deserved to receive his freedom in recognition of his contributions but instead he remained a slave. Remorseful and insolent, also upset by the separation from his wife who had a different owner, he was beaten and eventually sold. Meriwether Lewis on the other hand took with him on the expedition a huge black Labrador Retriever named Seaman. Seaman remained with Lewis until Lewis's death in 1809. (by assault or suicide is a historical mystery) It is said Seaman refusing too eat died with grief upon his master's grave. Very different outcomes for two lesser known members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It makes me wonder if this gives any insight about the character of the two men.

My knife this week is chosen as the newest acquisition. Picked it up at a knife show this morning (Saturday) from another attendee. A deal done standing in the aIsle. A 1989 Pathfinder in as nice of condition you could ever want. OK gang, the opening shot is fired, share with us your latest acquisition. Everyone has one.

Thanks, Roger for another Sunday Picture Show and thanks to all who post and comment.
This Flag 110 is the latest acquisition that I have in my possession purchased back in early May, this year. Just a couple of days ago I purchased a brown bone 501 off 'Buck Knives For Sale', there are photos there if anyone wants a sneak preview.

I’ve warmed up to the 105, at first it seemed a bit long for my general use. I have been using my 117 as a general purpose outdoor knife but after giving the 105 some time I really like it. 2E23781A-5235-4341-A93B-EE08128E3AB3.jpeg

Not my latest Buck by a long shot, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to follow suit with the Pathfinder/Lewis & Clark theme.

A photo of my Pathfinder resting on the book, Undaunted Courage, edited for dramatic effect. :)

Undaunted Courage is an excellent book :thumbsup:

This 450 has been amongst the missing, was cleaning out my wifes car it was in the glove box. It is a special edition (forgot the special model name) not really sought after but a greatknife anyways

Thank You again Roger and thanks for looking Pete

( Dont forget you have to have the sheath) lol
 
I don't know why I'm just now following your thread, Roger. Nonetheless I'm hooked now. Beautiful knives and I love your history lesson along with all the poster's comments. I have nothing to offer to this thread as far as pictures go. I only have 3 Buck knives. My newest 110 which I'm sure a lot of you are prolly getting tired of seeing, a Buck 110 Slim and an older 110 that's seen better days.
Thanks to all of you.

I knew when this knife came out I would regret not grabbing one.

So, having learned that the hard way.....😉

And I like the Cerakote. The colors are great.
I think Buck hit a home run with this knife.

Thanks.

Note, I really do believe this week's SPS needs a picture of a cool 5160 stag 110.
🤠
