Steve,
That one belonged to a friend. I just had it to photograph and sell for him. I must say I really liked the way it felt when holding it...superb fit in the hand. The single guard is my choice for any user. It seems to make it more useful... at least for the things I do with a knife anyway. Mine has the forward curved (my favorite style for double hilts). Here's a couple pics of it on a couple different burl stands.
