Unusual grip solution on a klewang

Thanks for the input, Michael.

I agree somewhat with you. Wrist movement should not be hindered, my intention was to articulate that FMA movements with this blade would hurt the index/middle finger some. Of course, I do not have this to handle so I defer to your judgement on this. Either way, I really like the look of this klewang. Very interesting!

Also, on second thought, this feature reminds me of a Subhilt bowie. The subhilt's secondary guard feature reminds me of the unique finger protrusion of this blade. I know that on a subhilt bowie, it helps with edge alignment in slashing in addition to hindering slippage from the hand -- Do you feel that this would be the same on your klewang,Michael?
