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, May 3, 1863, the Battle of Chancellorsville saw its heaviest fighting with 17,000 casualties, marking the second bloodiest day of the Civil War. The bloodiest day in American military history was the Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862 with 23,000 casualties. The Battle of Chancellorsville (April 30th to May 6th, 1863) is considered Gen. Robert E. Lee’s greatest military victory although at a high cost for both sides with 30,764 total casualties. Confederate General Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men on the evening of May 2, 1863 dying 8 days later from complications of having his arm amputated. (yes, this is pretty much a repeat of my May 4th 2025 SPS)

Buck 110 Lee and Jackson c.1990, (both present at the battle of Chancellorsville). Serialized to 250 with a nickel silver frame and ebony handles. This knife is documented on the 1991 Special Projects list. When Aurum Etchings shut down in 1989 they helped Buck set the process up in house so this knife would have actually been gold etched in the Buck factory.

Thanks Roger for hosting and the education. Civil War soldiers probably died as much from infected wounds and diseases as they did directly from gunfire. This is a Model 186 Titan which has been anodized and given a BuckCote TiN coated blade. The Titanium Nitride has an HRC of 82, and the blade has a single bevel to expose the ceramic coating on the micro edge.

Thanks for the SPS, and the history lesson, Roger. I've lived close to the Gettysburg Battlefield all my life, and never get tired of going there.

The most awe inspiring place there, for me anyway, is the site of Pickett's Charge. Many times, I've stood at the site where the Rebels started the charge, and at Cemetery Ridge, where the Yankees were dug in. It's almost a mile across there, and I can't imagine being one of the Rebs charging across that wide open space under heavy fire; or being a Yankee, and watching over 12,000 screaming Rebels coming at me.

Anyway, my pic for today, as usual, is nothing special. Just one of the knifes that I carry alot. Everybody have a good weekend.

I am very sad to pass on this information. Tim Lindsey passed away last night. His wife posted a couple of minutes ago. Tim was a good man and very passionate about Buck knives. He was a friend and will be missed by all.

Sad to here this. While I never knew him, he was evidently a member of the Buck community. Prayers for his family.
Roger, thank you and everyone else for this SPS. I especially love the history portion.

Sad to hear.
I spoke with Tim on the phone a few times and he was always very friendly and helpful.
He made impression that's for sure.
He will be missed.
✌️
 
Thanks Roger for this Sunday Picture Show. Thanks also to all who post photos and comment.
No worries about a repeat show topic. You've done wonderful at a task that would have me talking to myself(and not nicely) in short order. I appreciate you and all you do for this forum.
