Congrats on the new blade, but I think what you have there is a Yard Keeper, and not a Yard Gaurd. The Yard Gaurd has a thumb ramp and a re-curved 7" blade that is about .280" thick. The Yard Keeper on the other hand has a blade length of about 4 1/2" and is .188" thick.
You will love the Yard Keeper. It in my opinion is the best all around, do it all kind of blade to come from the Yard since the SS4. I absolutely love mine.
Did you make the kydex for it?
