There isn't a whole lot the Test Team can tell us about the Regulator except whether they like the knife or not. We already know it can chop concrete blocks, and dig out wood with the point. And those who have handled it like the feel of it. It's a nice Bowie. I can tell you that. Some don't care for the flex in the quillion, but I think it does its job of keeping one's fingers off the edge. Personally, I just don't have a single suggested change for Dan on this one. BTW: the famed SOG Bowie is about as thick.
