The Test Team version LOOKED like a fighter, and I'm sure it would be mighty well suited for that task, but it performed like a phenomenal all around camp knife. A thin version is intriguing, but I really prefer just about anything other than a saber grind on my camp knives. And being SR101, I wouldnt want to strip and convex it, because it would have the same rust problem that made me sell the satin M9LE.

That actually brings me to another issue - the coating will wear very quickly on the transition from the flat to saber grind, and coating is a lot more important on an SR101 blade than it is many others.


I'm still curious how a saber ground Regulator will perform, but I have a hard time believing it will outperform the full flat ground TT version as an all around camp knife, and honestly that's where I use these sorts of blades.



I guess for putting in a safe or stabbing people, it might be better than the TT version - too bad I don't do much of either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
