    Bo and Luke's knives

    in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion

    Posted

    What I find unique is, in the first 2 episodes Bo and Luke don't wear their knives atall. Episode 3 "Mary Kayes Baby" is when The Boys are seen with the knives for the first time. 

    Along with what others have said on good episodes to catch what knives the boys used. In "Arrest Jesse Duke" we not only get to see what knife Bo is using in that episode "Buck 112 Ranger" easily identifiable because of the curved front bolster. But we also see Luke's knife in the same episode. Luke pulls his knife out to unlock the door to the store the car strippers are using to sell the stolen goods. Luke's in that episode is a Buck 110.

    Another good episode to catch Luke's knife is "The Rustler's" Luke can be seen using his knife to pick the seeds out of his piece of watermelon. That episode Luke is using a Buck 110

    In "Duke vs Duke" and "The Canterbury Crock" Luke is using a Buck 112 Ranger to dig at his finger nails.

    The easiest way I've been able to tell what knives the boys are using for a particular episode without actually seeing the knife. Is by studying the sheath. Luke is mostly seen using a Buck 110, but on episodes we don't see him using his knife, he is usually carrying a 112 ranger sheath. The 112 sheath is a good deal smaller than the 110. Bo is mostly seen carrying the 112 sheath and seen using the knife.

    3d printing is great when you've got a need for specific parts and the ability to create them in 3D CAD.  Of course, there's also plenty of opportunity to just print other people's designs, but obviously that only gets you so far because you are dependent on somebody else having designed what you need.  If you can put in the time to learn a 3d cad program, then the sky is the limit in what you can do.  I got into 3d printing primarily because I wanted to be able to make custom parts for a lot of my RC car projects, and it's been great for that.  When I decided to take on some Dukes of Hazzard RC builds, it was the 3d printer that gave me the ability to do that.  Between finding & printing otherwise unobtainable parts like the vector wheels and Rosco's car, to using Fusion 360 to design my own custom parts like the 69 charger front grill, the push bar, and now the 69 charger rear taillight panel & tail lights for my next RC General Lee build.  It's also great for silly stuff around the house that breaks and doesn't have parts available.  There's a locking cap that broke on one wheel of my daughter's American Girl Doll toy car that rendered the car unusable.  20 minutes in 3d cad and another hour on the printer and I had a replacement piece that fixed the car and restored unchecked emotions in our house. :D

    I really should get into it just for the handiness of it Lol Especially for model builds. I would like to build Cooters Chevelle. But the hood used on the car might be hard to find and I'm not sure if I could find an exact copy of it, so why not learn to build one myself.

    I don't have pics, but when I did a 25th scale general lee model a zillion years ago in college, I used a piece of the sprue to make an antenna base and then heated and pulled a thin piece of another sprue to make the antenna itself.  It looked nice.

     

    On my 1/10 scale General I designed and 3d printed a base that was designed to accept an unwound guitar string (a "g" string specifically).  That probably wouldn't scale well to 25th scale, but you could make the base out of styrene or a piece of scrap sprue material and use an unwound "e" string for the antenna.

    I appreciate it good buddy. I'll probably just take some of the styrene left over from the kits and file it to shape and take a pen vise drill bit and drill a small hole in the center to ad the wire

    You are definitely a great addition to the HazzardNet. Thanks again for joining. I always used to joke that Jesse Duke invented ethanol in 1979 but then I saw something older where they put moonshine in the gas tank. It might have been the Andy Griffith Show. I think I posted it here on the HN but my memory isn't what it used to be. 

    I appreciate that I really do! I try not to think to hard about putting gasoline with 10% ethanol in my tank knowing Uncle Jesse had a hand in it. If it was alright with him then I reckon it's alright with me haha

    Brilliant prequel. I'm loving it....and it stays true to the spirit of the original show. We're lucky to have you here on the greatest website on the internet. 

    Thank you! I find it quite fun coming up with little back/side stories to the show. Cause the show leaves a lot to the viewers imagination on what could have happened before and after an episode aired. For instance like in "High Octane" I'm gonna say Uncle Jesse absolutely won that alternative to fossil fuels contest. Seeing how we have ethanol added to fuels and even E85. But somehow he could have been cheated from the royalties. Maybe a minor tweak in the formula so they could keep all the profits to themselves.

    Just interesting things like that haha

    I love it cuz! :)

    I appreciate it. It's the only thing I could think of on why Boss and Jesse are no longer friends. Because it never really does say in the show. And why Rosco turns to a dishonest lawman. But they do say in the show a couple times about Rosco getting cheated of his pension. So since the system cheated him, he decides to cheat the system

    Wow. Can I work on them with you? :)

    10-4 Good Buddy. "To make a long story short" the basis is "Summer of 1977. The reason for that date is even though the dukes originally premiered in January 1979, it started filming in 1978. And in the pilot episode Waylon says the boys got caught last year. Which would be 1977 in my story haha. Boss and Uncle Jesse are still good friends but fading. Boss gets a huge contract deal to sell some shine to some high end buyers. But they are contemplating on going with Jesse because he makes the better shine. They only decided to go through Boss first because of familiarity. Boss devices a plan to make Jesse no longer the competition. Even if it means bad blood between them because "money is thicker than blood" Rosco has been defeated of his pension. And after 20 years as an honest lawman. He turns sides and teams up with Boss to get a cut of the shine profits. Since Rosco is alot smarter in the Georgia episodes than later seasons. He decides to place surveillance on Bo and Luke. And since he knows the boys aren't going to lead him directly to the still site. He has Boss place a  friendly call to one of Jesse's buyers to set up a deal and sell him shine at a lower rate than Jesse. Knowing that the buyer is gonna contact Jesse to let him know Boss is wanting to sell him shine. But it's a trick, to lure Bo and Luke out with shine in hand. So the next morning Rosco places a call to the federal revenue agents to make it a federal case and Rosco and the revenuers follows Jesse's buyer and then it happens. They surround Bo and Luke who are transporting shine and taking them in to custody.

    If you want a Moonrunners connection, Arthur Hunnicutt appeared in a 1960 episode of The Andy Griffith Show. He was Uncle Jesse Hagg in Moonrunners.

    Arthur Hunnicutt is one of the greatest actors who ever lived. Along with his western movies. He had a great role in Bonanza. The episode is called "Any friend of Walter's" Him and Hoss Cartwright hunker down in his cabin against some outlaws
