Buck 192 Vanguard — Heritage Walnut
Classic fixed-blade performance built for fieldwork.
The Buck 192 Vanguard features a ~4.25″ drop-point blade of 420HC stainless steel with a satin finish, and a Heritage Walnut DymaLux handle with black synthetic spacers plus a brass guard and pommel.
Product Description
An all-purpose fixed-blade hunting knife made in the USA, the 192 Vanguard offers durability and utility. The drop-point blade gives excellent control for skinning, dressing, and general outdoor use, while the contoured Heritage Walnut-DymaLux handle and guard provide a secure grip even in rugged conditions. The knife comes with a genuine leather belt sheath for carry and storage.

Why It Stands Out
The 192 Vanguard delivers a refined yet rugged fixed blade: the premium materials and heritage styling give it timeless appeal, while the performance specs (420HC steel, full tang or robust build, ergonomic handle) make it a practical tool in the field. Reviewers praise its balance of size, strength, and carry-friendly utility.

Hunters seeking a fixed blade for mid-size game and general field use
-
Outdoor enthusiasts and campers needing a fixed blade tool that won’t overwhelm their gear
