Hopefully Dan will release more information - i.e. specs, etc. soon! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> Only <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" /> till more info!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

The thickness lended itself to being a great splitter, I hope it's not thinned up to much. That's what the saber grind is for, it just screams fighter to me.

The more I think about it, I think the thinner stock argument is more and more likely. At least I hope so. Thinner stock would make it a much more likely purchase for me. The tt version is still awesomer though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I was just guessing, but surely the 5/16" thick flat ground one had plenty of lateral strength. I can't imagine any need to go to a saber grind on that one. The saber grind looks great on the new blade.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

it just screams fighter to me. The Test Team version LOOKED like a fighter, and I'm sure it would be mighty well suited for that task, but it performed like a phenomenal all around camp knife. A thin version is intriguing, but I really prefer just about anything other than a saber grind on my camp knives. And being SR101, I wouldnt want to strip and convex it, because it would have the same rust problem that made me sell the satin M9LE. That actually brings me to another issue - the coating will wear very quickly on the transition from the flat to saber grind, and coating is a lot more important on an SR101 blade than it is many others. I'm still curious how a saber ground Regulator will perform, but I have a hard time believing it will outperform the full flat ground TT version as an all around camp knife, and honestly that's where I use these sorts of blades. I guess for putting in a safe or stabbing people, it might be better than the TT version - too bad I don't do much of either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I do love the look, but I am with the others on the guard, I wish that it was reinforced in some way. Maybe it has been and we cant see it?

Well, I am interested in seeing a price, some specs, and more on the improvements with reasoning on the change. I do like the looks of the older choil, and I was hoping there was going to be some reinforcement for the guard. Saber vs flat grind--well, we will see on that. Lastly, a LE version--just have to keep some extra wax around.
