This is a VERY cheaply built knife, so much so that it’s barely worth keeping, let alone carrying. There’s not even a pocket clip on it.
BUT, this combination of form and features is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for (with a tip-up clip, that is) in a daily carry folder. The handle and finger protection is there, the blade and handle length fit a perfect middle ground for fighting and practicality, it even has a fuckin Emerson style wave that they don’t even bother advertising.
Unlike most wave openers, this one is set VERY far back, is slightly oversized, and doesn’t have anything forward of it (discs, pegs, etc) to prohibit getting your full blade length.
So if this wasn’t so GODDAMN TRASH, I would call it perfect. I haven’t seen anything yet, but if there is a brand-name, high(er)-quality knife that is basically this, PLEASE let me know.

My daily carry is a Muela from Spain, but it doesn’t have the finger guards you want:

Just googling for pocket knives with dual finger guards I turned up a brand called “Dispatch”, and I was like “Well that looks like cheap re-branded Chinese trash…”

Yup! “DeHong”.
