Production sub-hilts are rare items indeed.
Aside from Cold Steel, Blackjack made an excellent one. Better than CS's IMO.
As Blackjack has been recently resurrected from corporate death, the possibility exists that their sub-hilt might make a comeback too.
OH HAPPY DAY(!) if it does!
Other than those two corps., I know of no other company making sub-hilts at this time, although I'd love to find out if any do.
BTW, no company I know of has ever made a sub-hilt for under $100.00. That second guard is an extra step or five that can drive up the cost of manufacture really fast.

Hey, Joebe.
I'm from Canton, email me!!!!!
Anyhow, take a look at www.topsknives.com
While they don't make any true subhilts, my Steel Eagle has a cutout that gives very similar control to what a subhilt would.
And I love TOPS knives.
