Buck Vanguard PRO-LINE?

[JM2]

I ran across this on the auction site. What is "Pro-Line"?

Not my picture.

I'm not sure if it's the only time it was used, but the Pro-line Buck knives were a Cabela's exclusive several years ago. I have a couple of them. They had an upgraded steel if I remember correctly.

I should say "I think" they were originally a Cabela's exclusive. I can't swear that my memory is correct. I want to say that I bought the couple I have around 2004 or 2005.

Are the blades marked as to what steel they have?

I just went to look and neither of the Buck Pro-line models that I have, have any steel type markings. So I might be wrong about upgraded steel.

That means it comes with a Proline etch on the blade, and free lifetime sharpening when you mail it in to Buck. The pro line series is made exclusively for Cabelas. Good deal to me, but some guys don't care for the etch. I like it

So the Pro Line's only upgrade is the lifetime sharpening? Interesting that it was a Cabela's exclusive. Thanks all.

Just to clarify .. that was a cut and paste of wh4f 's post, not my interpretation .
I do have a Pro-Line 110 with a 2001 blade in it.
