Guardless hunter

[Jon Brand]

Couldn't resist adding this to my small hunter collection even though its different from the others
Very nice little knife thanks Nick!

Sweet little blade with your usual attention to detail.

Yeah, a lot of guys that I've talked sporting knives with don't like a guard for a skinner, either. Just a matter of personal preference. That's a great little knife, nice random pattern and good contrast on it too. Heck, great sheath as well! Thanks for sharing.

David- I know there are folks who will always want a guard, so I would never try to argue against them. But could you explain what you mean about that photo and a longer ricasso? I'm not sure what you mean. I have only helped field dress about a dozen deer and 7 elk, so nowhere near what most guys around here have done, but enough to know I use that pinch grip on a blade a lot. That's actually why the bolster is beveled the way it is--- I think it adds to the aesthetics, b

This is sort of what i meant. Maybe purely a preference thing? It just allows an extra bit of room. The photo you posted seemed to indicate a cramped space at the corner of the ricasso, edge against finger. But, maybe the pinch grip works fine enough.
