I ordered a Vanguard yesterday

[DDDWho]

off ebay, $48 shipped. The seller said "make an offer" which I did and he accepted. I've wanted one for years. I finally made it a priority to get one.

DD, Welcome. Good photo and purchase. If you deer hunt you'll enjoy using it. DM

Great hunting knife!!!

I've been wanting one of these for a long time. It would make an awesome all around knife. Great score!

 

[David Martin]

If you patiently search, you can find them in upgrade steels. DM

That is a great knife and at a good price too. It has always been one of my user Bucks. For hunting or general camp use, it's great

Good knife. I used mine a lot last year.

Those are great knives! I've sharpened my Buck buddy's VG back home a couple of times and they take and keep a wicked edge!

A USPS rant. The knife was shipped Monday morning. The first stop was Akron, Ohio where it sat for 27 hours. Next to Cleveland arriving there at 3:02 yesterday morning. We're looking at 3 days since it was shipped. It has traveled a distance of 40 miles in that time. I don't get it. If there is a schedule a package should not set at a USPS location for over 24 hours. If the PO knew how anxious I was they would keep it moving. There is no one to talk to to complain or ask why it sets for so long. I WANT MY KNIFE

I think the 120 was discontinued for a time. The pic above was taken with the thought of putting it on eBay when I heard rumors of them bringing upwards of $100 (I paid $30 for that one). Prices on eBay we not nearly as high as I had heard at the time ($60 - $80). I decided I wanted the knife more than the money. I still do.

Has it arrived? My bet is it will today.

DDD, I just received the recent Cabela's catalog. In it is the Alaskan Guide Buck Vanguard. With the coated blade and up grade steel at a decent price. DM

I gave less than 1/2 of Cabela's sale price on the Alaskan for my standard model. I think it'll do me just fine.

Alrighty. I was merely adding to your post. DM

I love my rubber handle vanguard alaskan guide model,the grip is unreal even doing fish fillets its grippy and I wish buck would make a 110 with the exact same handles,that would be a sweet hunting knife.
