The JANTZ Supplies Brass Custom Guard Model NG580 is a solid choice for serious knife makers who want both form and function in their custom builds. Precision-machined and ready for fitting, this brass guard adds strength, safety, and a polished look to any fixed blade project. Whether you're building a working knife for the field or a collector-grade piece, this component brings reliability and a classic touch of brass to your design.

Crafted from durable brass stock, this guard measures 7/8" x 2-3/4" overall and is 0.18" thick, offering a solid foundation that provides both protection and balance. The dimensions are ideal for a wide range of knife sizes, especially hunters, skinners, and utility blades. Its generous width gives enough surface area to customize the fit, while the thickness provides that extra bit of heft and security where the blade meets the handle.

Brass is a traditional choice for guards thanks to its machinability, corrosion resistance, and timeless appearance. It buffs out to a brilliant shine or can be left with a natural patina for a more aged, rustic look. Either way, this material lends itself to both functional and aesthetic applications, making it a favorite among both beginner and experienced knife makers.

This guard is blank and unshaped, giving you the flexibility to contour and finish it to match your specific handle profile. It’s perfect for those who want full control over the finished product without starting completely from scratch. Whether you’re slotting it for a hidden tang or using it with a tapered tang setup, the NG580 offers the material and shape you need to get it right.

When you're ready to elevate your next knife build, trust in a guard that gives you durability, a professional finish, and a custom fit. The JANTZ NG580 is made for makers who take pride in every detail. Order it today from SMKW!
