Thanks DeSotoSky for starting the show, and a round of applause to every one who has posted such nice Bucks.
My 500 is good size for pocket carry, I do not use the sheath.

We dodged a forest fire Friday evening. The fire grew from 5 acres to 50 in an hour. They had to evacuate 8000 people from an amusement park because of the fire. It was less than a mile from my home. the helicopters were picking up water from a small lake above my house. This helicopter was flying over my house. Luckily they got it under control quickly before it spread too much. At one point I counted 4 airplanes and 4 helicopters fighting the fire. THANKS TO ALL FIRE FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!

California?
 
Was just wondering if Bucktools fire was one of the California fires going on ATM. I was a CDF Firefighter (now called Cal Fire) back in the day.

Hi All & Happy SPS,

Just got home from work been looking at all of your fantastic photo's and enjoying the show! Thank you Roger for hosting this each week, Also a hardy thanks to each of you who has taken the time to post to the show. When I started to only collect Buck knives it was 196 mini Alpha's, then I found a stag 192 Vanguard, next was the Duke 500 and the only model I have more of is the 110 it's king of course. So I will add a few more Dukes to you folks show.

The very first custom SO Duke was for the AZ Fish & Game in 1979, followed by the AZ HP (not looker's but Historical)




This knives etch made me fall in love with the 500 and I was hooked



Here is the true Historical Duke 500's each of the handles is made from wood taken from the resoration of what is etched on the blade

Here is a repost from earlier this year but I think well worth repeating. This knife can be found on the 1984 Special Projects list and is called "3 ducks in Flight II (large Dog)". These were done for Sears with an issue of 2000. There was another similar issue for Sears with the same etch but the dog was smaller. The wonderful engraving by George Sherwood is aftermarket and not original to the Sears issue.
