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, March 16th, 1968, the My Lai Massacre. (pronounce mee-LIE)
The massacre of over 500 innocent civilians by American soldiers in the village of My Lai on March 16, 1968, was one of the darkest moments of the Vietnam War.

Images by 28 y/o Ronald Haeberle, Army Photographer. The first group were shot right after he took the picture and turned away. Group of women's and children's bodies. The ONLY American casualty, shot himself in the foot with his own pistol.
(addendum: He carried 2 cameras, a personal with color film and Army issue with B/W)

I'm not gonna wallow thru it, here is the best quick read of (American) humanity at it worst. I recommend the few minutes it will take

Interview with the only survivor.

Browning 006 Vietnam knife from Browning's Living History series. This knife is documented on the 2007 SP list as the Buck model 610. The knife features a Khan Hin wood handle from the Ho Chi Minh trail and was limited to 1975 pieces commemorating the year the Vietnam War ended. There are a number of customs by Joe Houser based on this blade.

Thanks for the SPS, and the history reminder Roger. I was in the Marines from 1966-70, but never heard of My Lai until the big trial in November 1970. That was a couple months after I got out. My knife during that time was a Cammilus pilot's survival knife, that I got in a trade from a desk jockey who really had no need for it. I still have it, but it isn't a Buck, so instead, here's a pic of a 110 from the Custom Shop.:)

The op's history bite:

One more history Bite:

March 16 1930 USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) floated out to become a national shrine.


 
Thank you Roger for hosting the Sunday Picture Show and the History lesson. Not a pleasant subject but an endorsement for a free press. This is a model 560 with a custom Damascus blade (15N20 and L-6) forged by a friend.IMG_7145.png
 
Thanks Roger for the Sunday Picture Show and your dedication to it. Thanks also to those who post photos and comment.
A re-handle Leroy Remer did for me 'cause I like the tang stamp. IIRC he had another craftsman do the file work.

Here's a picture of my early Buck 112 for the Sunday Picture Show. The My Lai Massacre was definitely a dark spot in military history. I enlisted in the Navy in 1969 out of high school. My first duty station was at a dispensary at a shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. After that from 72-73, I went to Field Medical School Fleet Marine Force at Camp LeJeune and was attached to the 2nd Marine Division. I was deployed for a while with 3rd Battalion 6th Marine. Never was in country but was with a lot of men who had been. A lot of Marines carried mostly Camillus knives and a few KaBars. Some of the Corpsmen carried Buck 110 folders and I had a Case 2 blade Trapper in my pocket. Didn't really need the extra weight of the knife. God bless our Troops!

Thought I'd post a picture my daughter drew several years ago from the Band of Brothers. She has matured into quite an artist.

Jmonkey - your knife reminds me a lot of the original SOG knife carried by some of our Special Forces. It would be interesting to see a side by side photo. Thanks for sharing a beautiful knife.

thank you.

it is that. a clone of that knife. I don't have an original macvsog knife. just clones made by the current company named sog that had no ties that I know of to the actual military special forces groups in Vietnam war....aka macvsog..being Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group
 
Thanks Roger and everyone that posts.

Thanks for the history reminder.
As long as these events are remembered, the less likely we are to repeat them....


My contribution has a similar pommel to those special the forces knives.
