i dont think the yard can handle another $100+ release...i mean maybe im wrong, but im sure alot of guys could appreciate a smaller, less expensive blade. moreso with the holidays upon us.
christmas for us means a new release, which is all year long. meaning even a new blade big or small but with a small price tag, will be gobbled up by all of us just the same.
so, as cool as id love to own a regulator, idk if many of the dogs can afford it.
now... maybe a month or two after the new year...then maybe.
lets say we actually GET the next release sometime in january thatll put the first release of 2010 in that time bracket. Then Dan could make the Reg the first official yard blade of 2010.
The new Regulators would be a good one for an April. 2010 release. That way Dan could get his mitts on everyone's tax return checks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Now, I didn't purchase mine at the Blade show so my 6 month deal isn't up until Feb. 2010 as per the agreement but I believe I am safe in saying that, growing up with the old man's Ka-Bar USMC on my hip I have always been used to the 7"+ blades as EDCs. To me, the Regulator in its current configuration is like working with an old friend as the old friend wishes it could be. IMHO Dan has finally laid the old dog to rest and TOTALLY REPLACED IT.
Too much?
