I hope that farmer had the utilities located, or he's going to be out very very very serious money on having a FO line repaired. We had a contractor damage one on a job site two years ago, and it was over $15,000 to fix.

I don't know about the farmer, but I'm glad they got it fixed!

These are the best yet, IMHO. Dan said they were a deep dish hollow grind, which I believe means they are ground on a very large radius grinding wheel.

Anyways, it makes for quite a thin edge for such a thick stock (.31") knife. Dan had also said they are great choppers for their size, too. I think his words were that the wood chips would be flying like crazy, hahaha.

Has an unsharpened swedged clip point too, very stabby with a rather fine tip. Also worth noting is this variant features a round choil and a parkerized finish. Very cool…….

Definitely worth checking out if you come upon a good deal for one……..

Nice pics Chris, and I totally agree with you on these Regulators!

These are right on the money, IMO. Way to go Dan, knocked it out of the park again…….

I take it you won't be selling your other Regulators though, eh………

Actually, I plan on selling the green-handled one; I'm keeping the gray-handled one for myself.

They look nice.

I think I remember Jerry saying the deep dish hollow grind is done on a small wheel. If the wheel was huge then the grind would be shallow.

That makes sense, now I'm questioning whether Dan said deep dish or I'm just imagining it now…...

I do love the ones with the gray handles, gray is just my color of choice 99% of the time anyways as it just plain looks good with everything IMO.

This just may be my favorite Regulator yet.

It feels very good in the hand. And since I rarely put my thumb on the top of a big blade, the top guard is not an issue. I'll have to take my other Regulators out and see if this new one is the new favorite.

Try it.....you'll like it!
