The photo is the side view and there is a thin metal plate that can be adjusted along the blade. It's not very stable and does not offer even close to 100% safety.
Looks like a bread knife with a cheater for slice thickness to me.
You are correct. Here is theirs and ours. When I had the guide fully tightened most of the guide was under the blade. In that position zero thickness on a slice of bread but at the time I had no name for it.

Ah, bingo! FWIW, I bought an unusual handmade bread knife at a craft fare years ago. The knife is bowed much like a hacksaw. The actual cutting edge is about 3/4" away from an exotic wooden handle. That creates a permanent "cheater".
You have to wonder who has such poor manual dexterity they need a depth gauge for a bread knife. And why is it important, anyway? So what if your bread slices aren't perfectly uniform in thickness? If you need perfectly uniform slice thickness, buy your bread already sliced.
A solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist in real life.

Some folks like nice even slices. Other folks have the bakery slice it.

Or have dexterity issues, shaky hands, not-great depth perception.
Weird flex to question something pretty innocuous.

Do you mean the knife has some sort of incorporated guard that covers a portion of the blade?
If a knife was 100% safe to use you probably couldn't cut anything with it.
