When is the zombie fad going to end? Maybe when the zombies appear in the streets...

I would think, Dan would be apprehensive making too many blades with the Regulator handle.
The issues described further up in this tread, about the topguard, would make me think twice about offering the Regulator handle, were I Dan.
Knowing that last time the Regulator handle was offered, there was enough discontent with that handle, to make an alteration available, may make Dan love the Basic handle more... Well, at this point the only knives with the Regulator handle are variants of the same knife. Compare that with knives with the Dog Father handle and I would say that there is no danger of the Regulator handle finding its way onto too many knives. In my opinion, the main reason there was discontent regarding the Regulator handle was that there was a test team, and almost every person on the test team didn't like the Res-C guard on the handle. At least three forum members were banned over the bickering. I think the knife would've been received much better if there hadn't been a test team involved, but since there was, some people got their feelings hurt when the handle wasn't changed to their liking. The knife designs belong to Dan, and he knows what's best for his company. I seriously doubt we'll ever see a test team again. I was lucky enough to be part of the test team, and think that the concept was great Iirc those for and against the top guard were about even Really there was only one person that really went overboard with their complaints Unfortunately what should have been a good thing was wrecked by the actions of a very small group

I was also on the test team. It seemed to me the complaints were mostly because the guard wasn't steel, or at least supported by steel in some way.

Yes
I felt bad for Dan as I thought it was a nice gesture that just went wrong

Oh definitely. No good deed goes unpunished.
It was really quite embarassing, I almost felt ashamed.
