I like the top guard I Like it on the Regulator too. I I haven't found it getting in the way (except in a batoning case) The top guard was one of the selling points, along with the extra blade length.
I think calling this blade a RMDx is a bit of a misnomer. look at the Busse Mistresses all similar but different. I feel it will fill a different niche.

The new Ratmandeux is just a different knife, based on the original. For all-around field use, I prefer the original, but how many full convex combat knives have you seen? I have not ordered one, but I'm thinking about it. I think it is beautiful.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Stop it, Bruce. You know I'm a sucker for combat knives that I don't need. Black paper micarta handles, satin finish. Yeah, it's my kind of knife alright. I think I like it even better than the Busse Team Gemini.

I took the bait, and ordered one. Or should that be I tried to get the cheese off the rat trap?
Anyway, SR knives are a little pricey (compared to SY) but its a nice looking 6" full height convex so I sent the email. My favorite general purpose knife has become the RMD so this will make a neat companion. I'm also looking forward to having a second satin (to go along with my YKLE).

I like it but I really like my Reg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (too similar).

I'm still a non-JYD noob around here, but I think the RMDxLE LOOKS like a perfectly balanced knife. Its a good looking knife IMHO.
