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)

Here is a very interesting 525 Gent it took me a long time to find. I found the plain one without the decal in 2013. I finally found the Indy Race Car version this month. This knife can be found on the 1995 Special Projects list with a build quantity of 25,000!!! Hard to believe. The interesting feature is the tang is not marked Buck but rather KLEIN/TOOLS/USA so you will not find one searching for a 525 gent. Also there is no date code. The image is an aluminized decal, like the wildlife ones we are used to. If you have ever had one you know how soft and easily dented the decal is. I do not know the story on the plain one, the decal was either removed or just an error or blade over run.

Wow, Haebbie, you are to modest! you have a wonderful collection of mini Bucks. I don't remember seeing the 527s, with the smooth handles, in the photo second up from the bottom. What series are they from?
 
Hi All, Happy SPS. Thank you Roger for continuing to do this show for us each week! What a great show you guys have going so far, thank you for participating. Herbert's collection amazes me as he has found all those fantastic Buck knives and he is overseas, a true accomplishment all on its own.

Her a a few smalls for the show




 
Good morning SPS'ers. I always enjoy seeing all the different Buck knives, thank you for your contributions and participation.

Interesting fact, there are 12 different models of Buck's little drop point all sharing the same 1-7/8" blade and locking system. 425, 505, 506, 507, 515, 524, 525, 526, 527, 529, 825, 826. These can be a collecting addiction all to themselves. As one other member here once said about his collection, he believes they reproduce in the dark of the closet, I think it had something to likening them to mushrooms. I must have a couple hundred of the little buggers and I've seen a few here today I don't have.

Haebbie really does have quite the collection. What is even more remarkable is I know it would have taken hours and hours to take them out of their boxes and lay them out for a photo shoot. I'm not sure I even have enough open horizontal space in my "full" home to lay them out. I have not been successful in retirement downsizing :):):)
