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)
October 24, 1901 On her 63 birthday, Anne Taylor was the first (human) to to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Interestingly, she tried it out on her cat before trying it herself. So the cat was actually first but history records Anne's name but not the cat's. If you look closely at the last picture you will see her cat on top of the Barrel. It looks like the barrel was made of Iron & Wood.
Speaking of Ironwood, this week I have the October BOTM knife. Arriving in my mailbox today, 3 days, Post Falls to St Louis. It is a Barehead Duke 500 with Ironwood scales and a S30V blade. The issue quantity was 500 but they are not serialized. One of the interesting features of this knife is the long pull nail nic. When I first saw pictures I was not particularly taken with long nic thinking it did not look right but now that I have it in hand I really like it and can't imagine it any other way. My specimen is without issue, the scales do not show alot of figure but are nicely bookmatched (see picture). A "Magnetic" box, black leather sheath, and a slip pouch round out the package.
"An estimated 5000 bodies were found at the foot of the falls between 1850 and 2011. On average, between 20 and 30 people die going over the falls each year. The majority of deaths are suicides, and most take place from the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Many of these suicides are not publicized by officials." WIKI
Has anyone ever noticed that women can't do anything without a cellphone (or something) in their hand?

The Trail of Tears knife is a tough find, it took me a few years. Supposedly 2003 of them made for a Motorcycle club, Hard to believe that many considering how rare it is. The Trail of Tears was the forced migration of the First Citizens westward between 1830 and 1850. (open immigration from Europe did not work out too well for them)
