HG55 Appreciation Thread ***PIC HEAVY...ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!***

Trying out a 550 paracord d guard in olive drab. Took a few times to get the sizing where I wanted, but I like it for now. Still fits in the leather sheath like a glove.



That's a nice 55 ya have there...Military Overrun Knob Creek Special

Funny, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone weave a D-Guard for a 55 before...looks useful and purposeful...I especially like how it compacts and stows perfectly in the sheath ^^^ nested against the handle

Thank you Petey. This is my pride and joy in my small collection. First busse after 9 years of wanting one. I ordered a ws-621 same time but this came first. Supposedly the Knob Creek HG55 is one of 15 from the show?

The D guard is a 4 string width cobra weave. I started the weave from the talon hole and worked down to base of handle. It's extremely comfortable to weild now. It does hug the handle nicely when sheathed, which I love too.Give it a try, if you don't like it, just untie it! I'm excited to try this out in the field next month.
