IonFusion Vangaurd?

I'm curious, what is the blade steel of the Vangaurd and what is the IonFusion Vangaurd?


Thanks in advance,

The steel on the standard vanguard is 420HC, which is the most common steel that Buck uses. The Ionfusion Vanguard is a Vanguard with a titanium coted 420HC blade. It is only sharpened on one of the sides, which actually makes for a longer lasting edge. There is a post somewhere in the buck forum called CATRA test that talks about this in it.

Thanks for the information, I'll go read that post.
