Nealy tanto

[DN50]

I think a handguard on this knife would make it even more appealing.

Anybody else?

All the Nealys I have do quite well without.
Some unguarded designs have an elegance and utility all their own.
Could someone post a pic of the knife in question?
Maybe some technogenius [not me] can manipulate the image so the imagination-challenged among us [me]can think it through.

A handguard on any of the Nealy's would not be what Bud Nealy had in mind.
He designed them to be quick access,hideout blades,and a guard would add to the "bulk",and possibly hinder a quickdraw.
IME,the finger groove is a decent stop,and holds up well during thrusting tests.It is a great knife.
I'll see if a picture can be posted later.
Thanks,TJT
