I had forgotten the squared guard top on Angier's knife. Which has always been the default guard shape. I did not think about that until knife was 3 wks out and did not want to push as in beg Scott or Gary to do a late change as i never would have gotten past Valerie had i tried normal route. I was "lucky" it came this way. Perhaps they have changed default settings?

In any case, i have both and really do not have a problem with either but i am a scrawny old vet and plenty of room to arch thumb over and scrawny thumb with side clearance.

The 5-6 done up this way has always been tuxedo elegant while quite sealed against elements. Many have and still do copy it quite precisely. The most imitated blade shape in the world. Look at latest Marine bayonet.
