The more I look at these Compadres, the more I like them. I may have to put one on my bucket list. Also a Buck stockman. I dearly love black handles and silver blades. Winning combination!
Thank you everybody!

You won’t be disappointed with the 104 Compadre

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 7th - 11th, 1857. The Mountain Meadow Massacre. (near Cedar City in Southern Utah)

under construction..............



The Mountain Meadows Massacre is depicted in the Netflix miniseries American Primeval, which was released in January 2025. The show portrays the 1857 mass killing of 120 pioneers by Mormon settlers

Mountain Meadows Massacre - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

BUCK made 3 commemorative knives for the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty 1886-1986. The 826 (shown here) was based on the 525 Gent with an acrylic overlay. The other 2 knives were the pewter 825 and an Aurum etched 500. The 500 and 826 are shown in the 1986 catalog but not the 825. There are 2 variations of the original acrylic 826, with and without gold etch, 15,000 each for a total of 30,000. The inlaid coin is made of materials from the Statue. There must have a good number of over runs because in addition to the original Liberty 826 I have 3 variations with a triangular "Edge for Life" logo coin but without the acrylic overlay. One is plain, coin only, the second displays the original 100 year banner gold etch on the blade. The third is a BCCI Collectors edition and came in a black 2pc LE box but no label. I have searched the Special Projects lists for these, especially the BCCI edition with no luck. The 826 blade has no date code but the Triangular Edge for Life Logo was used from about 1997 to 2001. If anyone can date the BCCI version I would love to know. I have not searched the newsletters yet.

Ha ha... I was reading about the massacre and guess the date was stuck in my mind......on the other hand, I could claim I was checking to see if anyone actually reads my blatherings.

It's funny, I'll leave it for now and correct it at the end of the show

Happy SPS! I hope you all have a good rest of the weekend.

Happy SPS

Lots of great knives today, as always

I find these to be oddly numbered with the smallest being a 484 and the medium being a 482. Logically it would stand to reason that the big one would then be a 480, but no, its a 486
In any event I don't see these very often.

Hi, All You Buck Lovers,

Thank you Roger for hosting this weekly event. Also, thank you to each of you who post photos, and or add to the conversations.

Thanks,
A Compadre knife is good to have, anytime.

Thank you everybody!

Thanks Roger.

I never studied about this incident in any of my American history classes.

Of the few Buck Damascus knives that I own,this is the only one designated as a Designer's Choice.

Ohhh my!! Dream knife!!

Thanks.

These were the good old days,when a customer could specify such options as a Sambar Stag handle and a Damascus blade.

Thanks,

Thanks gentlemen. Can the scales and the blade paint be removed? I never liked a painted or coated blade.

 

[Uncle Timbo]

So sorry to all. This is not the correct place to ask this type of knife questions.

• Here's a little history that also happened today....
• 1948: During a campaign stop in Lansing, President Harry S. Truman survived an assassination attempt when a pipe bomb was discovered under the speakers' platform before his speech.

I wasn't aware, and found that interesting.

Thanks gentlemen. Can the scales and the blade paint be removed? I never liked a painted or coated blade.

Yes the scales/ handle can be removed from the 104. They're just held on with screws.

The blade paint will come off. I have one and the paint isn't staying on....
There were a few releases of 104 that had no blade cerakote. I don't believe any of those were 5160.
It may be hard to find one of those tho, and hence more money if you did.

It's a nice knife. If you like them, I wouldn't let the cerakote stop me from getting one. It does help prevent rust.
I agree with you preferring not having a blade coating at all.
✌

Thanks again Roger, and everyone for posting.
I took a few pics, didn't like any of them and never got back to it.
Sorry.

Thank you my friend. I like my knives to be able to show their age via a patina the way I do.

So sorry to all. This is not the correct place to ask this type of knife questions.

I'm gonna go "out on a limb" here. And I truly hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Asking questions about Buck knives, especially if it is a knife that was posted here in the SPS, is not only allowed it is encouraged. I've asked a few myself, and have been answered in the most polite manner. Discussion (about the knives) makes the show more interesting. Just my 2c.
