A trio of Bucks given to me by my Dad over the years. 119, 110 and 309. I own other knives, but in reality, I could probably have made it with just these.

Got this for free years ago from a dealer as a way of him saying sorry for slow shipping. Promptly thru it in a drawer.
This week I carried it for a few days for the first time. It didn't just hold up well... it shined!
Proof a brilliant piece of cutlery doesn't have to be huge or cost an arm and a leg, just cut effectively and safely.
Wish it had checked it out a long time ago.
Happy Fathers Day Guys!!!

My guess would be that it's a Custom Shop blem blade that might have been repurposed into another handle.DeSotoSky
It's Buck's Anvil on the tang over CUSTOM over USA but I'm not sure what's custom about it.
Possibly just advertisement for the custom shop.
BTW, thanks for heading up the SPS each week.

Here's an odd 121. I'll call it my Father's Day mystery knife.
Came out with a batch of 121s with various handles and marked with the Idaho stamp.
This version was supposed to have brass pommel and guard.......this is the only one I've seen that was not done in brass.
A mistake? Well, it was a happy mistake for me.

That's incredible. You would be a very successful salesman today using that case.

Thanks again Roger for doing the Sunday Picture Show and thanks again to all who post and comment.
My father served in the Army Air Force during WWII. He was a crew member, in a plane, towing a target for anti-aircraft training when one of the trainees on the ground shot the tow plane and it crashed. He was seriously injured, but survived.
While recovering and rehabing he did some handi-work. Two of the pieces I have are this ring made from a aircraft's stainless steel bolt, and a lighter fabricated from a fifty caliber round. I would guess that these were two that had to do with the crash.
I've looked for hours and can not find the lighter. I know it's in the last place I had it, but, don't know were that might be. I'll keep looking...
Found it

Really? Where did you get that info? Did Vorpal Rain tell you?
I'd truly like to verify the "one of one" if possible. If it's a Joe Houser mistake it would be quite a valuable mistake.
Maybe Joe will send me a letter of "Mistake Admission." I'll have to get in touch with him. He may be getting bored in retirement and need a laugh.
