My friends.

Jean Callegari, a brazilian knifemaker and forumite, from Rio Grande do Sul, makes a great tutorial, where he teach your way to make and atach a knife guard.
This tecnique, is absolutely new for me, i never had see that way. Simple, cheap, and works very well. I call " "Callega´s guard fiting way".
I hope you like it.

I would sure like to see this method of putting on guards. None of the links or site addresses lead me anywhere.

If you're logged in over at the other forum, the link I posted should take you right to it.

Standard technique for the the most part. One of the keys is to have a shoulder on all four sides of the blade. Another way to prevent a "gotcha" is that instead of using just a file guide is to have a flat piece of stock secured on top of the file guide or whatever you are using to clamp the blade. With the flat piece, and a slot cut in it so the tang will fit up thru it, will prevent the shoulders on the sides of the blade from having a bow in it.

A one thing very interesting in this tutorial, is the way to cut a hole in the guard.
I search to many years in the net, and i never, never see, a demonstration like that. I knew that idea is not new, but in the net, or all knife forums, they never had demonstrated. Using a jewelry saw to cut a guard, specially to do not have a drill press, is a amazing, and acurracy (?) way.
sorry the english guys.

regards from Brasil. BraSil, not BraZil.:)
