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, June 8th, 1972, South Vietnamese planes mistakenly dropped napalm on the village of Trảng Bàng instead of nearby North Vietnamese troops.
The photo shows a fleeing 9-year-old girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, after having stripped off her burning clothes. The second photo is photographer Nick Ut with Phan Thi Kim Phuc 50 years later in 2022 at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. Phuc had severe burns on a third of her body including all of her back. It was initially thought she would not survive but ultimately did after a 14 month hospital stay and many surgeries and grafts. She and her husband sought political asylum in Canada in 1993 where she is now a Citizen. She has lead an interesting life and the wiki link about her is a good read. The image titled "The Terror of War" and informally "Napalm Girl" received several awards including the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and the 1973 World Press Photo of the Year. The photo's impact has led to discussion about the ethics of war and the suffering of civilians, particularly children. The photo has also had its share of controversy, some editors were uncomfortable with its depiction of nudity, a White House tape had then President Nixon wondering if the image was staged, and there has been recent controversy over the credited identity of the photographer.

This was part of the Web Special Limited Collection released May 22, 2025. These sold out immediately. I was not home when these dropped. I was fortunate to acquire this one from another forum member. Description from the Web Site....
The skinner-style blade is satin-finished D2 steel. The handle is made of ivory micarta, lignum vitae, and rosewood, and has a nickel silver guard and spacers.
I find the "Lignum Vitae and Rosewood" handle description confusing. Is the vertical spline between the two halves of the handle the Rosewood? The knife came with a display case. The sheath is an add-on. Buck has not been supplying COA's with these special runs. I wish they would.

. You're probably talking about the ones that actually look like dings, on the front of the bolster.
