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)

September 12-15. 1862. The Battle of Harpers Ferry.
Confederate Major-General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson captured the Union garrison at Harpers Ferry during a three-day battle. This defeat resulted in the largest surrender of Union troops during the Civil War. His victory at Harpers Ferry enabled Lee to make his stand at nearby Antietam. mm

One of the greatest military commanders of the Confederacy, he was shot by friendly fire in May of 1863 and died 8 days later after amputation of his left arm. He was 39 years old.

Buck 110 Lee and Jackson. Serialized to 250 with a nickel silver frame and ebony handles. This knife is documented on the 1991 Special Projects list. When Aurum Etchings shut down in 1989 they helped Buck set the process up in house so this 1991 knife would have actually been gold etched in the Buck factory. There was another Civil War themed 110 with just Stonewall Jackson listed in 1988, also a limited edition of 250. I have that knife in my collection but could not find it. As a side note, the last etched blades Aurum Etchings produced for Buck was the 1989 Chuck Buck model 103. Although serialized, the full run quantity indicated was not completed.

Thank you Roger for the History lesson and the Sunday Picture Show. The Harpers Ferry Armory produced over 600,000 military rifles and muskets during its 60 years of operation.
