Well I have to admit, I was never a fan of the blade shape or the double-guarded handle. I should have bought a De-Reg but even then I always intended to modify the front guard for improved choil grip. Without a modification, I thought the choil was useless. All that negativity aside, who wouldn't feel dang blessed to have one in his possession in a crap situation?

I feel that if the Regulator were to live on as a series, it should always be one that is just the ultimate SY bang-for-your-buck in a largish knife. Whatever Dan and the crew can manufacture for the lowest price economically possible. That would be pretty awesome.
