DESIGN

Compact CQB Performance

The Nightguard was created in direct response to the overwhelming request for a Guardian-style blade built on the Nightstalker handle platform. We shortened the blade to just under 3 inches to make it more CCW friendly in states that restrict blade length, while keeping it discreet and highly capable for EDC. Positioned perfectly between the Nightshade Reverse Tanto and the Nightstalker in blade length, the Nightguard delivers a compact but brutal CQB profile that turned out even nastier than expected.

Hybrid Wharncliffe Power

The Nightguard blends a T.Kell take on the Wharncliffe with Reverse Tanto and pikal influences to create a devastating CQB tool. The dead flat primary edge is paired with reverse tanto style reverse edges for maximum cutting aggression. A steep 30 degree grind delivers deep, wide cuts while preserving strength from the .165 thick steel. Heat treated to exacting standards with our detailed process, the Nightguard maintains the durability, edge retention, and cutting authority needed for real world use.

Night Series Control and Durability

Built on the famed Night Series handle platform, the Nightguard uses a secure ring grip that locks you to the blade in forward or reverse grip and maintains comfort through the perfectly contoured handles. The Nickel Boron coating creates a nearly indestructible finish with ultra low friction that glides through material while shielding the blade from corrosion. Balanced, concealable, and ready for battle, the Nightguard is designed for the same extreme environments that define all T. Kell blades.

Would absolutely buy again

"Great knife! Awesome sheath! i’m in law-enforcement and I carry this knife on my gear every day. It takes a lot of abuse. I’ve had it for several years. Knife is still in flawless condition, great company wouldn’t hesitate to buy again"

Perfect self-defense blade

"Small but exceptionally well-designed, the Nightguard is a perfect self-defense knife. The sheath and knife together wear so well you can forget they are there until you need them. It looks so mean when you pull it out an attacker might just decide to leave from that alone, but if you did have to defend yourself it absolutely will do the job incredibly well. As with all T. Kell knives it is nearly indestructible. Note that there was an issue with my order at the time due to no fault of T. Kell knives, and Tim went above and beyond to make everything not only right, but better than initially agreed. Amazing knife and amazing service!"

Love this blade

"I missed out on the first drop of this blade. When I was in college I was a passenger in my brother’s car when a Neanderthal tried to dive in through the drivers window and strangle him at a stop light. Dude looked like Hulk Hogan on angel dust. We got away by throwing a Coke in the guys eyes but I always wanted an appropriate blade for that type of close up situation. I watched all the vids available on the Nightguard and impatiently waited for the next drop. I don’t think that I ever specifically asked my wife of 20 years for any gift. But she sat down with me within minutes of the drop going live and ordered the Nightguard as my Father’s Day 2024 present from our special needs son. She passed away 4 days later. I just received the blade a few hours ago and it’s a beauty. Can’t stop playing with it. Feels great in both grips. I’ve been collecting knives since I earned my first Cub Scout folder at 5 years old. I have many blades from gas station beaters to multi thousand dollar blades and I’ll treasure this one beyond any of the others. I pray that I never have to use it for it’s intended purpose but it’s going to be on my belt as long as I’m vertical. I’ve already ordered a Guardian to pair with the Nightguard and a Bushman for backpacking. In the fall I’ll hopefully order an Agent 001 and an Accomplice. Love the designs and the quality. Thanks for the Nightguard, I’ll be thinking of the old lady every time I clip it on the belt."
