The Regulator just needs some steel to support the res-C guard and a 'world economic melt-down' friendly price and it'll be a winner! I like s7, but sr101 or even A2 wouldn't be a deal killer- but an unsupported guard certainly would be.
There you are, Paul. Good to see you again. I was wondering when you were going to chime in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I mentioned in another thread that you suggested reinforcing the guard from the very moment Dan first announced the TT Reg. You certainly caught that quickly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> And based on some of the pics I've seen from the Test Team, it appears your concern was warranted. Good catch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've never had a bad hand over-riding the guard incident as I've always picked my knives carefully... Synthetic composites can shatter or crack in cold weather and if the guard chunk drops off under thrusting pressure it's Band-Aid time, big time! All Yard knives (up to now) have had well supported guards, a fine tradition well worth keeping going! The new handle shape looks a great user, just add the guard support, just my 2 Cents! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
