Based on what Dan posted I think the regulator one will do what I need it to do. Probably very well. I am very happy that the spine remains the same thickness. I am hard on knives. This will probably go into the back country and into an active shooter bag at work. I need something to cut through what I cant smash through. I can only carry a limited amount of gear in a limited amount of space. My tools usually pull triple duty and I think this knife will fit the bill.

I'm looking forward to putting this one to the test.
