The Regulator is a great looking blade. The more I look at it the more I look forward to it. It is my favorite length for hunting. If the balance is fairly neutral and the weight remains 14.5 oz. or less as has been reported, I'll really, really like this knife.
I do like knives that are larger/longer, but they get used by me much less than the 5.5" and 7.5" blades.
