192 Vanguard with a 692 blade?

[Bloodloss]

Hey, everyone! I thought it was strange, this old Vanguard has 692 on the blade but it clearly has the 192 handle. Is this kind of thing normal? Rare? Anyone else have one? Just wondering what y'all think.

Rare maybe, not sure on that model. Back then Buck would use "extra" blade inventory, even if the model number was different to fill an order. I have seen 110 blades used in various models also. So it does happen.

My 192 has a rubber handle... Lot of variations in the vanguard. And it isn't a guthook.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm learning.

Oddities are a good area as a collector.
