I don't know if it would take the place of my DeRegulator. That's my favorite big knife from the Yard. I even sold my SOD because of the Deregulator
That Regulator is a sweet knife. The handle feels as if it is molded to the palm...that goes for the de-regulator too
I like the 711 since it is a big and a well balanced blade. A good number of active military picked this number up when they went to special training. Clearly it is as popular as other 11 series but for different reasons.
