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, September 24, 1957. Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock released as a 45 rpm single.
The movie premiered the following month on October 17th.
Yes, I know I've posted this before. Sometimes I get lazy and just need to get the show on the road... :)
Buck did do an Elvis themed knife (Taylor etch ?). I don't have one to show but hopefully others will. I know jb4570 jb4570 does.

Buck 110 Folding Hunter and 722 Spitfire made for event earlier this month at Red Hill Cutlery in Kentucky.
Issue of 100 each. The 110 is the standard Brass & Crelicam knife, etched then filled white.

Can anyone tell me if the 2023 date code (seen on the Spitfire) actually has a name or should we just refer to it as
"the symbol formerly known as 2023".

Hi All, Happy SPS! Thank you Roger for hosting this event weekly. Also, thank you to all the Buck Nuts who take the time to post photos and add to the conversations.

Roger I may just have to get one of those B&B 110s. If no one drops an Elvis 110 before I get off work I'll post it in the AM. Just can't seem to pass on the overtime opportunities.

The King! Elvis 110

Thanks Roger for the History lesson and doing the Sunday Picture Show.
The Buck Honemaster is a jig that assists in maintaining a consistent angle when sharpening. The angle is determined the placement of said jig and is somewhat limited as to the range of angles possible. It has a pivot (hinge) and a single screw so there is no adjustment for parallelicity, cannot hold skinny blades very tightly (because it holds only with the lips of the jaws), and the size precludes the use on small blades. See photos 1 & 2.
Jigs of this type are set so that distance between the tip of the blade and the corner of the jig is equal to the distance between the edge of the jig and edge of the blade. See photo 3.
The knife is drawn, edge leading, across the stone, and the handle is lifted at the end of the stroke to keep the blade on the stone while tip gets sharpened. See photos 4 & 5.
Count and match the number of strokes on each side to keep the edge centered.
Raise a burr on each side of the coarsest stone to insure that the grinding planes go all the way to the apex.
Polish the tapers on successively finer stones to get the desired degree of sharpness. Be sure to wipe the swarf off the blade and jig to avoid contaminating finer stones with coarser grit. Butchers stop at about 400 grit and align the micro teeth with a steel. Their slicing is often done with a sawing motion.
If you want to push cut, go on up to 4000 grit.
Since Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Oxide cannot abrade Vanadium Carbide, use Diamond or Cubic Boron Nitride to sharpen blades with that inclusion.
The Honemaster would work on longer and thicker blades.
