None that I can think of. The properties and capabilities of the alloy are known. The properties and capabilites of the handle are known. Unlike a kukri, the design of the Regulator isn't radical by Busse standards. And Dan already posted pics of tests he conducted on the blade. So why a team is needed to further test the Regulator is simply beyond me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I'm still confused. What exactly is it about testing a blade out under a myriad of conditions that you don't understand? It certainly isn't to help sales.
If I can make it dark, I can make it light.
