I haven't really had a chance to try out the seven inch clip point knives, have to get one and give it a shot. Probably would beat the bowie style on chopping I would guess, but sort of nice to have the stabbing/detail work point of the bowie too.

I think the 7 or so inch blade bowie style knives are probably the best all around wilderness/camping knives 7 or so inch blade SR101 clip points like the Camp Tramp and drop points like the Chopweiler still get my vote for best all around wilderness/camping knives. But if I didn't have one of those, I wouldn't hesitate to carry a Regulator. I'm gonna try to snag a chopweiler, i wanna test it out.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

I don't plan to be a knife collector, I just want a really good hard use knife. But I have never had a SY knife in hand. Pictures are helpful but you really have to hold it. Maybe you will be right about the addiction once I feel it. I bet there are other guys here who just thought they would get one.

cutleryscience.com seems to not be there anymore but I read a lot over there when I first got into bussekin knives. Anybody know if that site has moved? Cliff has gone dark, I'm afraid. Some people didn't care for his attitude. But I owe him a debt of gratitude for introducing me to Bussekin knives. And I miss his knife reviews. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I wondered what happened to Cutleryscience.com. I never spoke to the author, but his reviews lead me to Bussekin! If you know him - please ask him to bring the info back. I was recently trying to educate someone about knives and needed his info.
