I'm anxious to see the revamped regulator. I really need a good usable field knife. That can take some abuse. From what I have seen from the test model if this one is improved it should fit the bill. A great time to join the Yard Dan

I have thought about getting that put on my jeep or etched onto a blade. It just makes me smile when I see it. Kinda reminds me of WWII nose art.

I can't say I'm as passionate as Bruce on the subject, I will say that I'd feel bad taking advantage of some "perk" when I didn't use the Reg I bought. It was my choice, and the honest answer is that it had nothing to do with wanting to keep it nice. I could go into detail, but I'll say that I took the Reg on several outings with other people who weren't keen on waiting around for me to beat it up. It was my bad, I know it, but when winter rolled around it made it harder to go out. Plus, I live in a condo, which made it tough to even go in my backyard and hack up some trees. Anyway, no excuses, I didn't use it and here we are. Like I said, if Dan offer's a discount for the Test Team I'll congratulate those that put in the effort and hard work, with no hard feelings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> There are no hard feelings, no need for an excuse or an apology of any sort. The offer to sell a knife is my business. Those that bought knives...THANK YOU. This simple act allowed us to do something with a knife design that we would not have been able to do...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...I hope I'm clear on this...PM me if you are not Second, for those Dogs who handled, worked over, beat or just looked at their knives and sent in feedback...equally THANK You. Obviously I could not incorporate all the requested changes but through careful evaluation and maintaining the Performance to Price Ratio I think the new version of the knife is going to be a hit. By the way I did incorporate a huge amount of the feedback in design and production as well...very cool stuff We are Dog's and we support each other. Please never second guess each other, it is unbecoming. As we say “Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard” Dan We're good. Thank you for this place, even without the knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Like I posted on a couple of different threads, I did some testing, took some pics and then my hard drive died.
I was so mad, not only did I lose the testing info but a whole 8 days worth of vacation/camping trip

If mine wasn't hair popping sharp, I'd sleep with it under my pillow. It has been my EDC for a while now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> That's great - your EDC is a Regulator! I wish i didn't live in a big city (or that i lived in AZ - it's like the old west, people go grocery shopping with a .45 on their hip...). If i walked around town with a Regulator the popo would beat me to a pulp with tonfas and throw me in the bing for being a terrorist... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It would be a fantastic EDC though - not too big to carry comfortably, but big enough for most tasks... I carry either the Dumpstermutt or the Yardkeeper LE - I find i can carry them inconspicuously with the right sheath - but it's a compromise - i'd rather carry a Reg - it has become my favorite knife. Which brings me to the realization - i have always ducked the whole "favorite knife" issue, because there are SO many great knives -- but i can say now with authority, the Regulator is my favorite blade. And of course i just have a TT Version that i bought from one of the original test team members - I can only guess what the production design will do to me - probably ruin me for any other knife. Bussekin blades have already ruined my appreciation for all but the best hand-made and mid-tech blades out there...
