3/16" thick and with a DogFather style handle!!!  I vote we go for what Tom said. Sort of a Sinbad the sailor slasher type blade. ANOTHER SWORD! Ok, this one would have to be an intermediate one. Say 14-15 inch blade shaped like the picture of my old negrito Bolo I posted up.

The original Regulator shape would be fine.

I would be up for a larger Regulator blade in the 10-12" length. Ultimate survival bowie.

I usually find every release is the best deal of all time, until I see the next release.. Kind of a vicious cycle actually.

12" blade, 5/16" thick, regulator handle! Same overall shape as the original, but up-sized. A 1211 with those features would be my preference. Or maybe just the 6.5 regulator design released as the 611.....or both I might also say that I LOVE the nylon sheath that came with the regulators and an up-sized version of that might be something to think about.

So I was looking at some old receipts and discovered that the Reg with sheath was only $110, unbelievable. For the knife that it is? It chops, it slices, it dices. I understand that economics have changed in the last few years so I wondered if there was ever a better deal that came from the Yard?
Sooo is there any thinking that the regulator should come back in a different configuration??? I would love to hear back from the Yard Dan Dan, I'm in the camp that couldn't get into the dramatic clip point. I've bought several and ultimately sold them all. I know some really love it, but I just couldn't get into the blade design. I've really liked the 6 incher, the spear point, and the bulldog. I would LOVE to see any of those as a regular offering at the Yard--particularly the spear point with the swedge and penetrator tip. but ANY of those would be great.
