The Sunday Picture Show (March 19, 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. Above all, enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

On this day, March 19, 1831. The first American Bank Robbery.
This was listed as such on the "On this Day" website. The City Bank of New York City lost $245,000 in the "robbery". But hold on, this was technically a burglary, not a robbery. There is a difference, as the two men entered the Bank at night with forged keys, so it was a burglary because no theft by force was involved.

This might be the first real Bank Robbery. On February 13th, 1866 the Clay County Savings Association in Liberty Missouri was robbed of $60,000 (equivalent to $1,110,000 in 2021). This is considered to be the first successful daytime Bank robbery committed during peacetime. The 10 or 12 gunmen were probably led by Archie Clement, Cole Younger, and Frank James. An innocent bystander was killed. Today the bank is a museum.

Good morning to all Buck aficionados and thanks to Roger and all.
Roger, I never knew Buck put out a beautiful knife like that. I have a fondness for fillet knives and yours is exceptional!

A few of my favorites, Thanks Roger for the SPS,

The white one was my first and only attempt at replacing scales on a 110 that was run over by a truck, it still works.

I woke up thinking about a Beatles song and how some things are gone and some remain.

Here we have a little of both:

In my youth I remember the drugstore had a tube tester. My father was a Ham radio operator, we had a big antenna in the back yard, Cleaning out the house after he died there were thousands of tubes, many new. His radio equipment, electronic stuff, and tubes went to the local radio club he belonged to.

This little Buck has earned a new spot in my rotation. It's been on my desk for about 2 weeks now and I'm surprised just how handy less than 2" of steel can be! When it's in my pocket I barely know it's there unlike the 112's and lately a 110 Magancut has been. Perfect for taking care of tough packages of chips and cookies and any mail I need to open it really IS a useful Buck and now understand better why Buck has made so many different models with this small blade. And why they have sold so many over the years. I don't feel moved to collect all the hundreds of variations out there but absolutely will add a few as I come across them and scatter them around so one is always handy.

Thank you Frank for doing the Sunday Picture Show and a History lesson. I think your fillet knife’s blade is coated with Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN). TiN has a Gold color. The Bucklite has a Zebra in an Electrical Storm Damascus blade. The Selector has a Drop Point blade.View attachment 2122408

You're welcome /Roger
You may be right. The Cabela's description merely said Titanium Nitride I think. The ad is on a different computer. I'll look for it.
