Does make you wonder, doesn't it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Someone suggested that Dan might have posted a pic and only part of the specs to elicit feedback before finalizing the design. If Dan incorporates some of changes that have been recommended here such as reinforcing the guard, for instance, the Regulator may have to go back to the drawing board before it gets released. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> That would be fiendishly clever... And probably - worth the wait. Blech. The thought of waiting is almost more than i can bear... and with all the different opinions, it would have to be a knife with a grind that could be switched from saber to flat, with a removable steel guard, and a blade that could slide a couple inches into the handle to expose a choil or have the blade go all the way to the guard, and that way it could have a 7"-9" blade (maybe on a spring, so that the blade gets longer and more tip-heavy when chopping (i get a % if anyone actually perfects that)... I guess i'm wondering, have we really given him any further useful suggestions beyond what the Test Team gave? Not saying we haven't, just wondering "aloud"... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Well whoever the group's decision-makers are, I sure hope they concentrate a little more this year on producing knives us po' folks can afford. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
We need a 5/16" (or thicker) SR-77 BOWIE!!! (Written back in early '07 -- Regulator Premonition?)

I'd much rather wait and get a knife with a fixed guard, than have the current version released. Unless there's metal hidden inside that guard, which I doubt....
The other specs are less important to me, even though I strongly dislike the saber grind, but the weak guard is just terrible. Not at all what I want out of knives that are marketed as hard use.

My concern is how much the reinforced guard would cost to incorporate. Lord knows the Battle Guard was far more expensive than the Battle Rat. It would certainly be easier and far less costly to simply remove the top quillion. If it's not there, it can't get damaged. Case in point . . . ![[Linked Image from scrapyardknives.com]](http://www.scrapyardknives.com/images/SCRAPTRAIL_med.jpg) Only with a modified Regulator grip, of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Don't like the looks of that one.

Vote to wait if it were a guarantee for a metal re-enforcer.

It has got to be tough, trying to balance performance, price and profit margins.
