I think they look great! I hope they make one in ebony with the guard.

Re: Babylon Swinguard
It's pretty cool in the NF trim with swing-guard. Bolster detail is nice.
As far as the Tidi's without the swing-guard, I much prefer the #65LB with the raised front bolster.
Not sure why someone would choose the #64LB Tidi with the sharp blade corner sticking out over the #65LB.....

Definitely in for a Northfield in jigged bone. Never owned a swing guard before and this was 1 of 2 of my GEC "wish list knives", the other being a large coke bottle that hopefully will materialize someday. The design looks great and the fit'n finish on my recent aquisitions has been spectacular. I expect good things from this design.

Re: Babylon Swinguard
Actually, I rather like the 64 w/o the swing guard
I have a 65 slippie and its hands down one of my favorite knives, but the new profile of the 64 really appeals to me. I just dig that kind of simplistic look. As a matter of fact, I would be even more impressed if they made a version w/o the lock back, but i wont hold my breath.

I wasn't going to pick one up, but I did solely based on how good the Che Chen rosewood handles looked. I must say pretty sweet!

Re: Babylon Swinguard
I know sometimes a knife pattern grows on you, but I do not see myself owning one of these - never been a swing guard fan.
But you fellas have at it and I'll sit back and watch!
