Hey everyone! I purchased a Buck Vanguard 692 backward "C" at a garage sale. It has a gold tinted blade and is in excellent shape. I called Buck and asked them about the knife. No one seemed to know. The customer service rep did say that buck uses a "gold ion fusion" on blades that they manufactured for other name brands. Does anyone know of this knife? I was just wondering before I start using it at work and screw up a potential collector piece. Thanx!
