I would like to see a full flat grind, choil-less, 1/4" thick combat knife. With about a 6 or 7 inch blade.
With minor variations, that sounds like a pretty good description of the Regulator to me.
One combat knife on the horizon is enough to satisfy me. And between all the DMs and S5s Dan has produced, I've seen enough 5" blades to keep me happy for quite awhile. I think it's time for Scrap Yard to produce something with a blade smaller than 5" or larger than 8". That's just my opinion, of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Blade one inch shorter and slightly thinner, remove the Res-C cross guard and add a steel finger guard, bring the edge all the way to the guard, shorten the blade clip and remove the curve to beef up the tip and you've got exactly what I had in mind.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Regulator. Trust me, I'm in no hurry to spend any more of my hard earned dough on another knife for a few more months. I'm tickled pink with my Reg and I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my S5 LE. I'm just throwin' out ideas for the sake of discussion.
