The Sunday Picture Show (November 10th, 2024)

[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. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)

On this Day, November 10th 1775, the United States Marine Corps is authorized by a resolution of the Continental Congress.
2025 will be the Corps 250th anniversary.

November 10th, 1954, the Marine Corps War Memorial is dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower at Arlington National Cemetery on the 179th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. Thirty-two foot high figures are shown raising a 60-foot bronze flagpole. Taking 3 years, the largest piece weighs more than 20 tons. The scene depicts the raising of the American Flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, February 23 1945.
"The cost was staggering. The assault units of the corps—Marines and organic Navy personnel—sustained 24,053 casualties, by far the highest single-action losses in Marine Corps history. Of these, a total of 6,140 died. Roughly one Marine or corpsman became a casualty for every three who landed on Iwo Jima."

525 Gents with acrylic overlay Military Service logos. They are documented on the 1992 Special Projects list. 5 in total, it seems I am missing the Army. It does not identify who they were made for. Build quantities were high, the Army and Desert Storm were 1,000 and the others 500.

I wonder if all retired career Marines are like my cousin? If I call and reach his answering machine, I have to listen to a recording of the complete "Halls of Montezuma".

I've been out of the Marines for over 54 years. Although I haven't heard Halls of Montezuma in decades, the words just came right back to me when I read that^.
(No. I didn't try to sing them.)

Thank you for another week of the SPS and a history lesson. I always enjoy the history tidbit.

I don’t post this one often.

Out in the deer blind on a rainy Kentucky morning, and wouldn't you know it... turkey show up an me without a shotgun.

Along for the ride is my 118 Pro or whatever. The one in S35VN and green or brown micarta. I put her in a NOS stacked leather sheath I had lying around. I wish they'd go back to these sheaths.

In my opinion, never humble, the old flap-over-the-top sheaths were/are great. The side flappers, not so much.

I have its brother. This one was actually a mistake. My wife ordered it for a Christmas gift last year. It was supposed to be a 112 and she didn't realize she was on the 110 page. Needless to say, I love it.

This one is growing on me.

Thanks Roger for another Sunday Picture Show. Thanks to all who post photos and comment.
I'm surprised that no one has posted the Iwo Jima 110 commemorative yet. It's not a figment of my old age imagination is it? Maybe waiting for Veterans Day?
ETA...it's a Brian Yellowhorse 112 that I was thinking of with my old rattled brain. Sorry
I'll post this one again just 'cause I really, really like it.

Happy SPS

Very appropriate historical reference given its Veterans Day weekend

On this day in 1975 the Edmund Fitzgerald was lost with all hands. The final communication: "We are holding our own."

Mighty 55 around the house today.

Happy SPS, another great read! Thank you to all of our U.S. military veterans.

I was hesitant to order this 152, but I’m glad I did because it has become one of my favorites in the kitchen. I used it earlier today to cut open two sturdy bags of chicken wings I cooked on the pellet grill.

I agree. The 538 is a well designed knife.
