I didn't realize that editing was shut off after a certain period of time I may have to PM the stinky Mod who gave me this Regulator out of the kindness of heart, because I'd like it if I could either edit, or merge my posts. I often type on my phone during breaks at work and then, in cases like this, will edit my post from a computer so that I may proof it, work on the composition, resize pictures, etc. I am going to wait to see if I can edit my post or just continue to do my review piecemeal. In the meantime,

Here are the best pictures I have of them side by side at the moment. I'll take some outdoors shots when/if I can. I added my thoughts to the end of each section. Some are repeats of what I said before. I will really try to get better photos.

Side by side:



Spine comparison:


Some people think .25" is way too thick for a knife. I tell those people to play with my Regulator or MOAB for 5 minutes. That said, I enjoy very thin slicers as much as bomb-proof 1/3" thick Bowies.

The Handles:




The edge and grind:


(This photo will be replaced by one where the TG is not tilted.)
The TG Has a fantastic edge and grind for what it is. The shallow hollow grind and fuller were proportioned for optimal balance. The hollow grind is so shallow, that it does is practically Full flat ground.

The grind on the Regulator could've been a steep FFG instead of a Sabre and the edge thinner, but then it wouldn't be the Regulator, now would it. I think I may have ground down too much metal from use and from my friends mistake to put a good edge on it, but we'll see what the SY wizards can do.

I think that the Regulator Handle is genius and should be on many more Scrap Yard mid-size to LARGE knives. It is great because of the taper to the end and the guard. This enables you to choke back. I measured the distance, and I am able to choke back about 2" very comfortably and 2.5" at most, making this a 10"-10.5". That is why it just destroys as a chopper and was taking down 2" saplings quicker than the B-11. Of course, the B-11 has its own role and it does it exceedingly well.
