Most modern ones I have found (I think Mikov makes a few, and I've noticed a number of forestry supply companies with ones of unknown origin) have hand guards. Wonder if this is legally required?

I have another one I need to find pictures of. It has a folding D-guard to protect your hand whilst marking logs.
Its not pretty just a plain utilitarian old tool meant to do its job!
MB. That’s one that would be interested in seeing,If you can find the pics .
Here's the picture of the one I was talking about.
That’s a interesting piece .
Thanks MB

I don't know about legally required, but I think it would be a real knuckle saver if you were using this all day long

Great Timber Scribes Fellas
David . Nice Schrade Scribe
MB , agree with you on the Stag
Tom . That H&B is Great. Really like the blade . Wonder what specific use it had ?

Tom, That H&B is unique. Certainly inscribes a finer line than a gouge-type blade. Do you know it's purpose? J.O'.

I don’t John and I wish I had an old H&B catalog but I don’t. I’ll bring some of my New Britain knives to the winery show in May.

Very unusual blade--looks like the factory started with a blank for a sheepsfoot/rope blade and then cut it to shape.
