John Lovell commented on Nick Hansen's group 'Fixed Blade Club'

John Lovell replied to Terry Waldele's discussion 'GUARD VS. NO GUARD - WHY DO SOME FIXED BLADE KNIVES HAVE FINGER GUARDS AND OTHERS DON'T' in the group Fixed Blade Club
Except for knives that are used strictly for slicing (onions, balogna) I believe every fixed blade knife should have a blade guard, just like I believe every rifle should have a safety. Blade guards on fixed blade knives allow the user to keep his…
