By the way, I'm not trying to be Mr. Negativity here. The TT Regulator is the knife that got me back into the forums and checking almost every day... even if I'm not a prolific poster. I thought the TT Reg was the single most perfect blade ever from the Yard-- on par with the Dogfather and that's saying a heckuva lot, IMHO-- and thought that there would just be some minor guard or thickness tweaks.
