So I'm looking for an EDC to replace my Izula. I really like the looks of your knives and was hoping to get a small edc with 3 inch blade in the same vain as the smaller knife in big mike's alaskan combo. Not the same size obviously but I really like the shape of it. My question, is there anyway to make an integral guard into that knife so it would be okay at stabbing and still keep the overall sleek lines? The knife will be a strict utility knife but I want to be able to use it for last ditch self defense. Not being a tacticool person I'm not even sure I need a guard for that or not.
Also, how are the handles for pull cutting while hands are sweaty/wet. I noticed when cutting a lot of cardboard with my ALOX SAK that my hand would start to slip down the handle when sweaty. I had been thinking about a handle similar to the one below where it gets thicker toward the butt. But, if slippage isn't a problem with your handles, I would much prefer the simpilar straight handle. I like my knives to be as simple as possible.
