The Sunday Picture Show (October 19th, 2025)

[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, October 19th, 1781. The British surrender at Yorktown Virginia, effectively ending the Revolutionary war.

Thank you Roger for the History lesson and for hosting the Sunday Picture Show. Thanks to the French for the timely military assistance. This is a Model 186 Titan take apart knife with cast Titanium scales and a belt clip (to be worn outside the belt on the RH side). The field tool has been removed. The knife can be used with or without the clip and/or the tool. These scales have been anodized, and a BuckCote blade was swapped in. The single bevel has a very acute geometry which exposes the Titanium Nitride (TiN) PVD coating on the micro edge. This coating has an HRC of 72 vs 58 for the substrate (blade). The blade wears in preference to the coat making the system self sharpening. TiN is used to coat drill bits and other machine tools. Stainless screws were also swapped in.
The company that produced the scales burned down, so no more cast Ti.

Thank You Gary. Not much but me and the squirrels so far.
Another for the show, a 055 I plucked from the bay a few days ago…….

My nephews were Royal Rangers and my brother-in-law was one of their leaders. Our church had Royal Ambassadors for boys and my son was one - a lot of what we did in RA's was the same as what we did in Cub Scouts. If I had ever seen an RA Buck Knife I would have bought one for each of us.

Model 110 Second Version (about 1965-66)—It took BUCK several years to come up with the right combination for the spacer and spring. The 1st Version with a one-piece spring and spacer was too fragile, so the next try was a two-piece spring and hard fiber spacer. Unfortunately, the hard fiber wasn’t durable so they had to move on to another design.

Changes of the 110 spring and spacer—1st Version one-piece spring and thin steel spacer; 2nd Version separate spring and hard fiber spacer; 3rd Version spacer integral with bolster; 4th Version brass spacer; 5th Version steel spacer.

Knives carried in the last few days
Bottom Magnacut went through the washer resulting in some scuffed bolsters and slabs. Didn't pull from leg pocket on my overalls.

Good Sunday morning, everyone! Thanks to Roger and to everyone who makes this show possible. Here is a Cherrywood 212 for the show:

I have a good start on this phenomenon, methinks; I don't know if there are any more made that fit the chipflint/buffalo horn/bison shield variant. I hope so; if anyone knows about others I would love to know. Oh... and the Yorktown surrender: YES!!! Thanks, Roger!
