Numbered prototypes for the D-Guard model.....

**M.Olexey** · 07-01-2012, 08:46 PM

The DDS!

These are the six prototypes for the d-guard project I started way back. Finally got caught up enough to work on them. Starting out with six numbered proto's in 5/16th's A2. 8.5" blades, 15" OAL.

From left to right...

#1 Hollow ground sort of traditional (profile) tanto, #2 hollow ground Bowie/clip point, #3 Flat ground Bowie, #4 Americanized tanto/compound grind, #5 More rounded Lum style tanto, and finally #6 Dagger that I will never do again cuz it drove me more crazy.

Dagger in hand...

If you want one let me know via PM as these are not spoken for (being offered first here). They will be marked Prototype 01, 02 and so on. The hollow ground Bowie and the Lum style tanto will become the regular model for later builds. Price on these will be $675 shipped with a drop leg kydex rig.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think.

All this sharp stuff and it looks like someone really needs a shave! Better than the meat gazing pictures you used to post!

PS- Awesome job, as usual homie

I hate shaving!

Thanks buddy! I cropped as much of my mug out as I could and I always avoid the pelvic region now when I do size reference shots

It is very nice. Why does the hollow ground bowie get the invite to the regular line-up get the nod, while this beaut languishes in proto-land?

Simple laziness my friend

I personally have to work much harder for a flat grind so.....

Truthfully....The profile is the same and I will be able to flat or hollow grind them. So there will be fewer flat ground ones but I will do them. I really like flat grinds and have been doing them more and more lately.

MO, honesty is still the best mark of character.

Cheers,

I'm diggin' #4 & #5... #1 is cool too. It sucks to be poor right now

Numbers 4, 5, and 6 are GONE!

1,2, and 3 available. Won't really start promoting them until later this week so if you are on the fence, go for it. When they are gone there will not be more for a long time.

Thanks for the great comments!
