Is there any other folder knifes with a guard ?

[nifered]

EDIT2: most folder knifes Ive seen dont have a guard to protect your hand from sliding.

Welcome to Bladeforums!

That's not my kind of knife, so I can't say, but it's also not a traditional style, so I'll move this thread to the General Knife Discussion.

Welcome to bladeforums.
This ist my kind of knife either, but if you look at traditional designs, consider the swingguard , the Cheetah and the Cheetah Cub as well as the copperlock, which has something similar to a guard.

Good luck

Many folders that use a flipper to open incorporate the flipper as a half-guard...e.g., the Kershaw Groove:

The Groove is the top knife in the pics...

A fine R.J. Martin design, the Tanto Groove (model 1730TBLK)...one of the smoothest manual-openers around, with a unique blade design and rock-solid frame-lock...one of my favorites! :thumbup:

Eye Brand and some other German companies made some very cool large swing guards in the past.Also Parkers El Diablo folding dagger and Frost made something similar.

Take a look at CLB Direkt. Very big flipper that serves as a half-guard when the blade is open.

Knives with flippers are what you might be looking for:

The Cold Steel Ti-lite has some kind of guard. It's not the same type of knife though... I just ordered one.

Marbles sells an inexpensive swing guard that is an awsome knife and doesn't cost much. I have one in green bone, and it is amazing how easily it disappears in the pocket. The lock is positive, and the blade comes shaving sharp from the factory.

The Boker CLB Trance and SOG Mini Vulcan would do the trick.

S&W has one with a pronounced guard. Not as pronounced as the one pictured, but more than most.

Take a look at the CRKT m16 Special forces knives.

Have a look at Emerson. Lots of them have big guards.

Soooo..., uhm..., what are you up to that you are going to need all that hand guarding?

A folder with good ergonomics can prevent your hand from sliding, take a look at a Spyderco Native, for example.

I must confess that I had a folder very similar to that, maybe with a slightly different blade but definitely the same handle (OK, I was around 16 years old and wanted something "stronger" than my SAK, definitely it was not a good choice...).

That folder was really heavy and impractical, I only used the guard to spin it around my index finger (like a cowboy's gun, go figure...), fortunately it was soon condemned to oblivion and I threw it away (literally) as soon as I was able to buy a nicer folder (a Steiner, a mixture of Buck 110 and Puma, defintely and improvement).

Nevertheless, that picture brought memories to me.
