I was talking about the unusually tight space between the D-guard and the grip.
As a rule, D-guards are convex, providing ample space for the hand, but here the guard is either straight or even deliberately concave, almost touching the knuckles . I cannot recall anything similar in any other example of D -guarded handles. Do you? |

Lengh of handle ~ 6 inches. To Ariel - for Vietnamese with small hands it is a large size, in fact, two hands
