This Day in History. March 26, 1676 Nine Men's Misery
Located in Cumberland, Rhode Island, This is considered to be the oldest Veterans memorial in America.
The early New England colonial time was a period of increasing tension between colonists and the native tribes as the colonists expanded into native territories.. What started as a "peaceful Thanksgiving celebration" turned violent over the years.
Tip of the hat to B BennyBlade for this weeks history tip...march 26 is the anniversary of Nine Mens Misery. The event took place 100 years before the revolution. During King Phillips War, the Metacomomet slaughtered a militia group, about a mile from my home, leaving one alive to tell the story. You can hike into the woods about a half mile and find a pile with a plaque on it. It was placed in 1676 and is believed to be the oldest veterans memorial in the country. I find American history before the revolution to be some of the most fascinating time ever.

0191BO11 08/30/2022 Recent purchase from the Buck Website. 191 Zipper, Rosewood handle, brass furniture, and a 420HC blade. Supplied with a brown leather sheath. This was touted on the website as a "Limited Factory Run". Buck was not very helpful with information as no build quantity is given and no COA is provided. How are we to know how "Limited" the knife actually is? There is no date code and the model number is replaced by an Anvil symbol. Hopefully it will be documented on a Build-Out list some day. The pictures do not show very well but the handle has a nice red vibrance. Zero complaints about the knife, just the documentation.

Hello,
I am new here. My full name is Abraham Stevens. I have a couple of Buck knives. My favorites are the 110, 112, and 419. Took me quite a while to post a picture of my 419. I hope you like it. I have been looking at the SPS for a few weeks and am excited to be here. It is to bad that the 419 has been discontinued, I really like it. It is a liner lock, which you can adjust the tension on the blade to fall when you disengage the lock and finish closing with your thumb. One hand open and close.

That's a pretty knife.
Brass and wood look so good together.
I agree Buck needs to step up their game on documentation of such limited runs.

Great history story as well.
I wasn't aware.

I appreciate your weekly efforts.
I'm sure you spend more time than we know putting this together every week.
Thank you!

In keeping with Roger's gut hook theme, I am posting a knife that is not mine. Just yesterday, I was on the Weatherby rifles forum talking about Buck knives. One of the members posted this knife and this nearly unbelievable story...

1679831729176.jpeg

"The story behind this knife is I was hunting mule deer in WY in 2014. On the 2nd day drive, we were talking about knives. I told my 2 friends that I wish my knife had a gut hook from a lesson learned on a Caribou hunt where there bellies were so full of liken it was impossible to cut into them without blowing there stomachs wide open. The 3 of us were taking a lunch break during the hunt and we spotted a group of mule deer up on a mesa. We put a failed stalk on them. But my friend Greg reached down and found this Buck knife. He looked at it for a second and said you want a Buck knife with a gut hook, here you go. I gladly excepted it, cleaned it up, and bought a sheath for it. Now I pack it in my backpack on every hunt."

Here is an oldie but a goodie it is not as pretty as the rest of the SPS, bought this at a flea market for 7 bucks many years ago, It was in really bad shape, the edge looked lke it was filed or ground. I cleaned her up and have been using for all these years
The original owner must have shortened the guard on top. She is hair popping sharp and is always on the belt on hunting trips, and has even processed a moose up Maine years ago. Roger Thank You for the SPS. Pete
