I like the idea of the Regulator and will probably buy one when they are offered.

I really look forward to hearing comments from the test team as long as it's not all Kool-Aid.

I would rather have the following changes though:

- integral blade catches or at least integral steel guards top and bottom just in front of the grip, but I do really like the new grip design
- no taper to the tang
- blade thickness of 3/16".

Come on, bring me a "Skinny Hooked Regulator", please. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
