That's a fine looking knife -- for me I would have left off that guard. To my eye it looks too "wispy" - frail - and does not compliment the heft of the overall look of the knife -- just my two cents worth :-\.

Thanks but this is not the kind knife you would make without a guard

Really appreciate the curves you built into that guard. They make the knife complete. You are a man of many talents.

Would also make a nice patch knife for mortars and cannons!
Just kidding - great styling and patina.

Hey Peter, that's one nice knife. I really like the contour of the handle, the shape of the blade and the guard makes the knife for me. Great work.
