New tactical Knife

[Carlos Goulart]

Hello fellas,
this is a tactical knife made with 1070. File-work on handle (full-tang). The handle is a brasilian wood called "Gon?alo-Alvez".

Thank?s

Goulart

Carlos,
It looks like a really functional knife! I really like it, as I do most of the work I see coming from you.

Sorry if this is a newb question, but what is the purpose of the long finger guard part extending down from the ricasso? It seems like it might get in the way a bit. I don't think it really distracts from the over all design, but it's purpose escapes me.

Hello Friend,

Thank's for your words!!!
This is simply a guard. (a technical designation is Quillion). As a tactic knife can be used more aggressively, this prevents the "index" finger escape to the front and find the cut of the blade.
