I like the HG55's. But I LOVE The Regulator. I had a chance to handle one at Blade West and it is a BEAST of a fighter with the best Res-C handle I've ever wrapped my hand around. (I can report that because I'm not on the Test Team. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) If you can stand to wait, I'd suggest you hold out for it. I'm not sure what Dan will sell it for when he releases it, but it should be far less costly than the HG55. And diff-tempered SR101 is more than tough enough to meet any need you're ever likely to require of a fighter.

Although I'm still not a big fan of the bowie shape, I'm obliged to give The Regulator two BIG thumbs-up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm not a big fan of CBT, but I love it on my Jack Hammer!!
