Hard to beat for the money. I just picked one up for 63 bucks from LL Bean (25% off coupon)

Agreed......I retired my old Estwing when the Vanguard came out back in the 80's.
I piled up a lot of memories with it and that little 102 over the years.

The blade profile is so much better on the 192 Vanguard for removing back straps.
