Essentially the Busse Terror Monkey-DSF but with a DE-regulator handle and in SR101 or 154cm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

It would be BadA$$!

The skellies are cool and I like micarta, BUT I need me some Res-C soon

I like this idea!

Terror Monkey is the best knife name ever... Pass on the Regulator handle though, unless you get Scrapizashi style guard lugs- in that case, hell yes!! Black res-C over 154CM... Niiiiiiiiiice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Paul, if the UK is so stringent on folders not locking how are they on fixed blades, I mean what kind of knives are legal over there?

TM best knife name???? Nah, can't see a Terror Monkey beating a Wiener! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Randy- Wiener is numero Uno, forever! +1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

You know, PtB's idea actually sounds to me like a rock solid idea. Having a steel blade catch lug hidden within the hilt of a Dereg handle, to reenforce it against cuts when employed as a fighter. I don't doubt that RES-C can stand up to a beating, but being used more than a few times to counter another sharp blade, it would have to give sometime. The lug would prevent that, however. +1<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That would be sweet in 154CM =) I would be down for one.

Terror Monkey is over 13" long! The weiner is just a little guy...

Gosh I guess I just don't get it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

The Regulator is a beautiful Fighter. The 7 inches of love from the Scrap pile has great heft. Balance is in the hand,not the blade.

The blade on a Terror Monkey is much longer thus putting the weight forward of the grip.

As far as a blade catch,TM doesn't have one, Regulator either.

And how many times in a lifetime would you use a blade catch to grab another's blade,deflect it and stab the perp? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Honestly I would prefer the weight of the Fighter I use to be in the hand for more control not blade heavy pulling down the tip.

Not sure what to make next if I were Dan. He has covered all the bases now.

A Fighter so close after "in Busse time" the Regulator would be low on the list,but what would be the highest in priority for the next build? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />




Peace.

The Yard Hook has a blade catch (I own one, and I forgot to mention it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />). I have mine set up to MOLLE to my plate carrier, and I plan to employ it as a dedicated fighter. I personally wouldn't go any longer than the Dereg or YH for a fighter though, something even as long as a DF just becomes too blade heavy. Once you swing it, you're commited to the swing. Unless your follow through is quick, that can be a major disadvantage against an opponent with a smaller, more nimble knife, say a Ka-Bar. The extra reach of a monster chopper is only an advantage when you can keep your opponent at bay. Once he clears your gaurd, it's a matter of who gets the first cut who wins. Another thing, I feel that choppers lend themselves well to long, full arm extension swings, but not so well to rapid changes in direction for draw cuts and defensive cuts. A smart opponent will wait until someone is in the swing through phase before striking at the knife hand. You cut the tendons that support the hand, and that knife becomes a long, heavy meteor. It doesn't do much good when it's laying on the ground. My $.02 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nothing at all wrong with using a large chopper as an offhand defensive blade though. A DF in my left hand with my Dereg in my right is actually my ideal setup <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What's legal; SAKs... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I can carry my Yard/Busse knives when hiking or camping but I never openly carry them or use them with people around, a nation that once owned 25% of the worlds surface now is 99.999% sheeple. It is a well known fact over here that ALL fixed knives (except the kitchen types) are carried and owned by violent criminals and not law abiding outdoors people! Rant over! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well I love My regulator and De-reg but I want something a little more fast and light

The blade catch, I feel, would be pure luck to actually use it in a fight!

As for Dan covering all the bases he could still make an even bigger chopper ala B11 or Bushwacker. Or a hawk...or a kukri...or...a fighter with a res-c handle!


Paul I have heard that Britain has more Ilegally owned weapons than any western nation, do you know if this is true?
