The Sunday Picture Show (June 11th, 2023)

[DeSotoSky]

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. Enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

On this day June 11th, 1864. The Battle of Trevilian Station, Louisa County, VA.
The bloodiest and largest all-cavalry battle of the American Civil War.
Philip Sheridan commanding 9,216 Union engaged 6,700 Confederate commanded by Wade Hampton.
Casualties were 950 and 1,000 respectively.

1891 watercolor (James E Taylor) depicting Confederate General Rosser's charge on General Custer's Division.
In risking the capture of Hampton's supply wagons Gen Custer's men became completely surrounded in what became known as "Custer's First Last Stand". Only the arrival of other Union cavalry saved Custer from total destruction. Read more here.

75th Anniversary (1942-2017) 119 Special. The Bone handled knives were exclusive to Bass Pro for a number of years. There was also a 102 and 105 in the series. I kept wishing for a 103 to be added so I could do a Twin Set. Not to be, the bone handled knives were discontinued about the time of or shortly after the Cabela's merger. Buck does not seem to do much in the way of special factory orders anymore.

Thanks Roger for another Sunday Picture Show. Thanks to all who post photos and comment.
I wish Buck would do more SFOs, like before. Not sure of the reasoning behind the decision to stop doing them. I think bean counters, profit and loss and management issues all contributed to it's demise.

A Good Rainy Morning (finally) here in Illinois. Thanks to Roger and all who participate. The 75th 119s are some of my favorites. DeSotoSky I am wondering about the 1117 on the pile side of your bone 119.

Happy SPS to All the Buck Nut's! Thank you Roger for hosting and all who post photos or add to the conversations.

I'll add to the 75th 119s

DeSotoSky I am wondering about the 1117 on the pile side of your bone 119

The "1117" is my inventory label (Brother P-Touch system) The knife, box, and sheath (string tag) are all marked the same. The label means the knife was purchased in November 2017. Actually every knife I purchased that month will be marked the same 1117, I record my collection on a spread sheet so to find the information on that particular knife I just look for the bone 119 purchased that month/year. Works for me. The spread sheet makes my collection searchable because I am at the point where I don't know If I have a particular knife or not.

Picked a 4 dot out from the bay. I worked a week polishing the nicks out. I think it came out pretty nice. I really like the two different textures of ebony on each side of the handle.

jb4570 Is that ironwood and malachite on the bottom 119? I am not familiar with that particular 75th. A custom job or limited edition type offering?

Recently completed the six standard 110 50th Anniversary variations......

Happy SPS
Buck's recent drop point drop inspired me to gather these three for today's photo op
Top knife is an aluminum framed 110 with black linen micarta and 420HC. Middle knife is a 112 with charcoal Dymondwood and 5160. Both were SFO's from C&C.
Bottom knife is a 110LT with cmp-154. It was an SFO from SK Blades.

have a great Sunday.....

Thanks once again DeSoto.
I watched a documentary about Gen.
Custer awhile back. Interesting guy.

I have a bone handled 112 that was a C&C sfo. It's the nicest operating 112/110 I own.
This thing is as smooth as can be and it's been that way since new. And things like that can make you really love a knife.
