The woodgrain handle is a beautiful brownish color. It really is very nice looking.

Buck makes two stock models of their excellent 192. One is a laminate birchwood handle and the other is a high grip type rubber material. I think the 192 is one of the best, all around fixed blade knives on the planet. I build custom knives as a hobby. I can't duplicate their excellent hollow grind, nor the great 420HC steel:)

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

Yeah, I go with rabbiddog. I bought three of these lovelies and each has the handle pictured. I own a number of Condor products and have been thrilled with each and every purchase. Hope that helps, and best wishes

I'm using Amazon app on my phone, I dint have the same view you have. My knife came dark hickory handle and the blade has grooves in it. When it came the blade was shinier and almost silver, after wash and oil with veg oil it looks more like traditional carbon steel. This is the knife my grandma had.

I found this on their site. Looks like a slightly more expensive model for the following bonuses:+Thicker steel stock (.185)+Satin Finish blade+Newly designed longer ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves+Racy new blade shape with longer cutting edge+Added blade spine rasp for notching, filing, and thumb placement+Injection molded glass reinforced handle scored with grip linesIt's also about half an inch longer. A little of that is the blade, most is the handle.

The image on this item is not correct. The image at ridgid.com shows the current model. I have the current model, and at least both the stand and blade guard have been updated. The rest looks the same, but can't be sure.

No, it's usually not rosewood, it's (to my knowledge) laminated wood. But some Buck Vanguard series provide rosewood handles, for an extra buck of course.

it comes with a tan handle. i believe the "black" refers to the coating on the blade.

The handle is made of leather, not wood. Most full size and military KaBArs have the leather wrapped grip/handle.

The one shown is SS some of the colored handles are alum. the description refers to the 1660 line of knifes with different handle options.

Mine is. This was a limited edition knife and every handle, with the green and black swirl, is unique and different from the other handles of this knife. The green and black is the only color theme. Its a good looking knife and very efficient as an EDC knife.

i know the picture and descriptions don't always match here, but i do believe we are talking about the black handle for this one. i ordered the black and received the black.

This is not a picture that we submitted. I took a look at one that we have in stock, and it says both Wetterlings and American Hickory on the handle. The sheath also looks different than the one in the picture. Whichever person/company submits the item first, puts on their picture, and those that come after just have to list their pricing.

I bought the deep red bag. The color was the same as advertised on Amazon. However, my handle is different. I like my handle but it is different than the stock photo.

Not sure on model number but believe newer model is silver and older model is black. I purchased black on amazon at a huge discount. Had to search internet to find black add-on to carry four bikes.

I ordered what was advertised here on webpage, a black fibrox handle. Instead I was shipped a Rosewood handle version, which are actually more expensive. So I think it was just a mistake on their part. I still use it work everyday too.
