Well it's a pretty easy one for me: TT Regulator! This blade can do it all from large chopping to fine cutting. Plus I have never had a blade whose edge held up so well with everything I have thrown at it. I have larger blades, smaller blades, and blades the same size, nothing comes close to the all around greatness of the TT Regulator!
If all of the Full Flat Regulators where gone from this world I would have to go with my Muk. While not a good chopper it makes up in other areas and is a tough chunk of steel.

Sethro, if my Regulator was the FFG version I might well agree with you. I used to think flat grind blades were fragile. Not any more! BUT I am still torn about taking off the top guard. I like handles without a top guard, but the Regulator came with one so.....I just don't know.

SkunkHunter,
Here is what I measured, which could be off a little here or there, but....
Cutting edge is 13.5"
OAL is 21"
Weight is approx. 44.8 ounces
Very impressive knife, have to handle one if you ever get the chance.

I see you believe in spares. I like that Handle color.

Nice...who did the sheath? Rainwalker? I keep thinking I want a black handled one like that and send it to Nate for stripping and convexing...bet he would turn it into a great looking slicing machine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yup, Rainwalker. That guy is awesome. I get more compliments about the sheath than the knife. I have triplet sons. The extras are for them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One knife for all needs - blasphemy.
First choice = NMSFNO
Second choice = Chopweiler
Third choice = SOD
Fourth choice = RMD
Fifth choice = S5
There is a lot of utility in an 8" +/- blade, and a lot of functionality in a 5" +/- blade.

I'm hogging this thread (double entendre for those astute enough to catch it)....
#1 Choice = NMSFNO
#2 Choice = ASH-1
