The Sunday Picture Show (November 19, 2023)

[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)


NRA Headquarters Fairfax, VA

152 Years ago on November 17, 1871, the National Rifle Association was founded by Civil War Veteran officers.
Civil War hero and former President Ulysses S. Grant is among the earliest NRA leaders.
Tip of the hat to Uncle Timbo for the lead. Further interesting reading below.

100 of these Buck 120 Generals were made for the 2007 NRA Convention in St Louis.

Buck has made quite a few NRA knives over the years.
Here is an NRA 005 Gen5. 125 of these were done for NRA Nashville 2015.

It was my privilege to attend a NRA dinner down here in Florida a few months ago..This was the only knife available that you 'won' with your tickets. About 40 were stuck in a model pig that had the opportunity to win a much bigger prize..Sharp but NOT a Buck..

I was the founder and first committee chairman of the East Carolina Friends of the NRA committee back in 1996. I stayed as chairman for five years and then 15 more as a committee member. I wish I had gotten all the NRA Buck Knives but there were too many (not to mention the Case and Schrade USA made as well). Here is a 25th Anniversary Buck 110 Folding Hunter (made in 2016 but used as a silent auction item in 2017) and a Buck 119 Second Amendment variation that I do have - the 119 was presented to me by the NRA Rep for 20 years of service to the FONRA - made in 2018.

I made a trade this week and got this 532 with water buffalo and mother-of-pearl. It goes well with my Wilde Bill Cody single blade 303. Both knives are from 2006.

This one showed up yesterday....just in time for the Sunday Picture show. I was surprised that it has brushed nickel bolsters. I guess I didn't look that close when I ordered it and assumed they would be polished.

Roger, thanks for the continuing efforts on your part for the Sunday Picture Show. Thanks also to all who post photos and comment.
I'm probably the only one here that doesn't have a NRA knife and will get a text admonishing me from Uncle Ted
I do have this 110 Workman that was in the lot of 110s that I bought a few weeks ago.

You are not alone. I do have several PRCA knives, but I'll save them for another time.
