A CP390 Brass Slotted Guard will protect the user’s hand from sliding forward and prevent nasty cuts. Moreover, guards also add balance as well as interest to the design. By machining this guard you can make it to your own dimensions and shape.
This CP390 Brass Slotted Guard will polish to a high shine and enhance any handmade knife. The sub hilt technique uses two guards, one facing forward and one backward creating a slot for the finger to provide a better grip.
The CP390 Brass Slotted Guard is also very durable and functional. As a result using two guards in this manner will add interest to the handle. Adding two guards, one facing forward and one backward provides a finger hole. For example, see the picture below, a knife made by Gil Hibben.
Filing the shape of the tang will give a secure mechanical fit. Also, for a precise fitting, you have to have the tang thinner than the slot in the guard.
In conclusion, this CP390 Brass Slotted Guard will compliment any hunting, survival, everyday carry, combat or even kitchen knives!
