Roger, thanks for another Sunday Picture Show...and the always informative introduction to the days show. Thanks to all who post photos and comment. Makes each Sunday's show special.
After posting the thread https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/lets-see-those-900-series-bowies.1817527/ searching and re-searching Buck bowies I bought this 903. Not exactly the 'one' but it will quell the urge and give me more time to expand the search...

Nice choice!
I was wondering what you came up with.
I like those big handled knives.

It's always interesting to view the wide variety of Buck knives which members own.

Congrats to all of the owners.

S sportingspecialist How did you get those two images to flip like that?

Fairly straightforward modification. Remove the pivot rivet and replace with a screw set consisting of an internally threaded 1/8” diameter barrel and 2 #2X56TPI screws. While the blade is out of the knife, drill and tap 3 #2X56TPI through holes.

One of my boys recommended a free photo-editing software program.

In that program are the means to create animated GIF's.

Buck 309 - the top one I have had a long time, the second one I found NOS in a hardware store last year. The Whittler version of the 309 was a gift from two brothers that I mentored in deer hunting from about 2006 to about 2012. OH

Thanks to Roger and everyone who posted pictures and comments.
As always a pleasure to watch and read.
There's so much knowledge to learn from around here

Finally came across the wood species on this Joe H Kalinga.

The heartwood has a light orange brown colour, with an irregular pattern of black stripes, which makes it very decorative. After exposure Muiracatiara darkens quickly to orange or dark red brown. The sapwood is clearly demarcated. The grain is straight or interlocked and the texture is fine. Density at 12 % moisture content: 0.80 g/cm3.

Machining goes well, despite the high density. The surface gets very smooth with a greasy touch. The results with gluing and finishing are good. Pre-drilling is recommended. The blunting effect is fairly high; peeling is not recommended or without interest and slicing is reported to be good. Drying goes relatively easy, but must be done with care to avoid checking.

Muiracatiara is very durable to fungi and is durable to dry wood borers; sapwood demarcated (risk limited to sapwood).

Muiracatiara can be used for several applications such as:

• Interior: e.g. veneer, panelling, flooring, tool handles, high class furniture, music instruments, sculpture, joinery, wood ware, sliced veneer
• Exterior: e.g. panelling, boardwalks, constructions, heavy carpentry, joinery

Muiracatiara is often used because of the decorative appearance, but also due to the typical hardwood properties (durable and hard)
