At the thickness it is, 10 inches would be too heavy, not to mention too long to be useful.
I think there should be a "no blade zone" in between the 7.5" & 17.5" where knives are just novelties. IMO once you go past the user bowie size it should just jump up to the machete / sword lengths. I just can't figure a real use for a 10 inch blade. No offense to the DF or anyone who loves their choppers.
The large clip makes a huge difference. The Regulator weighs less and feels even lighter in the hand than the physically smaller Yard Guard.
