The Sunday Picture Show (May 21, 2023)

[Happy Hippo]

With a small amount of blade re-profiling these became a pair of highly favored stockman.

One of those bit my thumb yesterday. Very sharp. Bled profusely.

I first got these yesterday and quickly thought "eh".

So I get them out today to really look them over. I'm impressed.
They look great.

I've seen complaints, but I'm cool with everything here! I believe it's a great knife.
Especially considering it's price point.

Thanks Buck.
I look forward to some clip points.

I believe the finish was originally TiN, then DLC, and presently Cerakote. Is that correct?
Has anyone dated those changes?

The BuckCote blades (late ‘90’s) utilized Gold colored TiN (Titanium Nitride), Champagne colored ZrN (Zirconium Nitride), Purple colored TiCN (Titanium CarboNitride), and Charcoal colored TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride). The shiny black colored TDLC/DLC (Tungsten/Diamond Like Carbon) came later with the Alaskan Guide blades.

Thank you Roger for the History lesson and the Sunday Picture Show. Those conquistadores were tough hombres, though not overly appreciated by the natives.
My liking of lighter knives owes to my hobbies of back packing and bicycle touring. More recently I discovered that lighter knives allow me to carry more of them and other junk. One way to lighten a knife is to core the scales. The old Selector knives had a slabbed pivot post molded into the right hand scale, so the handle was molded in 2 pieces. Some Selectors were cored, others were not. Cored scales could be molded faster as there was less mass to solidify. However, they tended to trap fish guts. The weight saving in cored plastic scales is not great because of the low density of the material (Valox).
BuckLite handles could be molded in one piece because the pivot was a rivet and a bushing. One piece handles could not be cored, but they had a lanyard hole where assembled knives had a rivet. The lanyard hole can be enlarged to accept a push pin lanyard.View attachment 2193341View attachment 2193340View attachment 2193343View attachment 2193342View attachment 2193342

Bert. I did the knife. Mirror polished the blade than installed abalone handle scales with ivory inserts and nickel silver dividers.
I have been playing around here and there with rehandling a few Buck Knives and have done about 30 so far. Still trying to figure it all out and haveing some fun with it.
