I see it as an updated, Busse version of a Ka-Bar, a combat/utility blade. Don't those have the double guard?

This was my thinking on this knife. I think you can get Ka-Bars with single or double guard depending on your preference (i've got a single guard one).

Now someone get to using one, maybe head to head against a Ka-Bar to see the difference in performance. I for one hold the traditional Ka-Bar as a benchmark by which I judge other knives so for me it would be an interesting comparison.

1+ After handling it, I noticed that because of the handle shape, my thumb can either rest on the guard and still access the spine, or with a minor twist, access the spine with the guard on top. Not perfectly, but still with plenty of leverage. If I choke up on the knife to use the choil, the base of the thumb rests comfortably on the guard with the thumb on the spine.

1+ The other reason that I have grown to like it is thinking about using it in very cold temps... if the hand numbs a bit and slips up, the double guard will become your friend if you need to dig, thrust, place pressure straight out, etc.

I agree with Jaxx here as my thumb just wraps around the upper guard and rests on the spine comfortably. A double guard for a utility is the way to go.
