[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. Above all, enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)



This Day in History October 9th, 1635 Roger Williams was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony. (too liberal for them Puritans I suppose)
Went on to found the colony of Providence Plantation as a refuge from religious persecution. predecessor to present day Rhode Island.
He was an advocate for religious freedom and the separation of Church and State.
Started the first Baptist church in America.
Advocated for fair dealings with native Americans
Studied and published a book on the indigenous languages of New England.

My full name is Roger Williams Yost. My father, as a student of theology, admired Roger Williams as a historical figure and named me after him.

On to the knives. This week I have a model 204 Koji Folder. ATS-34 blade and a burlwood handle. A collaboration between Japanese custom knife maker Koji Hara and Buck, the most striking feature is the step stone bolster. New in the 2001 catalog and listed thru 2006. In 2007 the model 204 makes one last apearance as the LImited Edition Yellowhorse "Night Hunter". The Koji Folder is joined by the 208 Fixed Blade and 205 Kojj Dagger in the mid-year 2003 catalog and both continued thru 2006 along with the 204. Two more tidbits, the blade logo is a symbol of Mt Fuji and the knives were made by the Sakai Company in Seki City, Japan

The knives above are the production "Native American Series". The ones below are prototypes that never were offered to the public.

I've always loved that knife set. There has been previous discussion concerning Bucks naming of these knives . The knife labeled "Kachina Doll" has been pointed out to more resemble a Zuni KnifeWing. Most notably, the knife Buck labels as a "Scorpion" is clearly not a Scorpion in shape or number of legs, a scorpion would have 8 legs. It does more closely resemble a Gecko or lizard.

There were 3 119's with oval inlays, Never managed to acquire them. I hope someone who did has pictures to share. I have a 192 Vanguard with a similar oval inlay. I'll look for it tomorrow.

Hello.

Hello Everyone, Today I have some knives from Michael Hoover, all 110's with an anniversary blade put on without him realizing they were anniversary blades. These are all stone handle knives. I have about 50 Michael Hoover Knives. Never really counted.

This next knife looks to me like blood in water flowing away from a victim?

I am surprised at how many anniversary blades I have and i'm only through with looking at half. This is a time when I invested in Michael Hoover knives heavily.I don't purchase many because I already have knives made previously by Michael and now he is on an encore preformance. He is so talented I would love to be his Apprentice. I have the toolmakers experience for 28 years. Thing is I just turned 66. I also have multiple health issues. I cannot believe nobody spoke up when Michael mentioned it. I have just gone through with checking for anniversary blades and the ones shown are the only ones i have. I'm Happy!!! I can't have them all, remember that! I like the Jade knife because nowhere on the knife is Buck's name but we know that it is?

Many thanks to Roger and everyone else. Roger, I enjoyed your reminder of our history and the origin of your name. Very unique.
I was named from Timothy in our Bible and my middle name was that of my mother's brother. He died at the age of 21. He went to the hospital with stomach pains where they gave him a bromo for gas. Later he went home where is appendix rupured.
Once again, all your knives AMAZE ME. I have nothing to contribute but words.
