KnifeGuy,

Is this your knife:
Yard Guard..............= 7.25” blade; 0.270" thick (Stripped and satin finished)

And if it is, do you have any pictures of it? I have been thinking of stripping the coating off of my Yard Guard and giving it a satin finish if I decide that I don't want to part with it. If you could post any pics of it, that would be great.


Dl,

Yes - that is mine.

For the record, on my Yard Guard, I stripped, satin finished, altered the choil by making it a little deeper and closer in to the handle (radiused the edge/corners a little), and I lowered the thumb ramp and moved the peak forward to accomodate my apparently long thumbs better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have been meaning to post a pic, but have been a little busy lately. I have used my Yard Guard and didn't get any decent pics after satin finishing and prior to using some. So, I wanted to freshen up the finish and get some more pics. I finally got around to cleaning it up Saturday night and some pics yesterday, but just now posting.

I will start a thread showing my stripped SS4 and DMCG as well.

But, here is my Yard Guard.:
