RETURN OF THE REGULATOR

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1349112-What-s-Next-Holy-Oinkin-All-American-YOWZA!!!!





hell yes

I'm a bit gob stoppered by the AK but I can't see what role the Regulator would fill. I know I'm going way out there on the AK and won't actually have a use for it but I see even less use for the Regulator. A guard so I can't choke up on it,a swedge to tear up a baton, I dunno. I don't see anything that calls to me here. It should be able to drill well? I'm a new Dog, don't beat me much please.

I can't wait to design a pattern for a leather sheath for that AK though.. yowzah!

Well, the Regulator isn't exactly designed to please the woodsman or the bushcrafter

It's a fighter not a lover.

Grog, IF I remember correctly the Regulator's spine is sort of rounded off, not actually square. It won't eat up a baton so bad that much, even with the UNSHARPENED swedge.

I love the Regulator!

"It's a lean, mean, fighting machine!".

If any of you guys know Anton Buekes let him know about the Regulator. He's been requesting more for a while now

I may get one...depending on specs. Was the TTR .33"?

Thanks buddy...... I got a LE version which is now my carry blade. My old one is worn out.

I've never had one wear out, but I don't train like you either sooooo...

I have the TT, MO, Original and Parked versions... not sure I "need" another... but in hand the Reg is one of my favourite blades !

I might have to get one of these American Regulators. Hopefully there will be options, like sage blade with green handle.

I saw the BF thread earlier. It's hard to go wrong with the Regulator.

sooooooo is it expected up today or??? my girlfriend asked what i wanted for christmas......

Its up at the Busse site

MM

tanker gray getting ordered as we speak

Well, for that price I'll be checking it out at least!

OMG the FF return!

Dan are these old stock Differential HT?

Definitely worth a look...Boss Hog has got the Christmas Spirit in a big way

Dan

My day sucked...then I got home and saw the email about a new Regulator today!!! What an outstanding post Christmas tree processing utensil to have handy on the mantle.

The yard is putting out so much, crazy!

New speed exercise on FB, first vid from top.

Howzit Dan

The first video I posted on FB with the Regulator is now on 169 000 views. I got some crap from my knife sponsor because of this...

That's OK Anton; we all still love you!

Hahahaha

Love u 2 man.

You guys and your Bromance!

Anton, IF you are looking for replacement for your LE, the New one should be pretty nice!

Hey Anton,
is the LE in INFI?

I would love those two new offers to be INFI so I could upgrade my knifes one by one from SR 101 to INFI...did that with the RMD and love it...

The LE is new and I have a new MO

No they are sr-101 DHT

I couldn't help myself...had to grab an AK.

So did I.

I caved in for 2 of them. I didn't like the looks of the reg when it first came out but now I love it. Got one of the bronze hollow ground ones from a Ganza and haven't had the heart to use it, love that finish. One of the new ones will be properly beaten!

The hollow ground Parkerized finish Regulator is really cool!!!

anyone else get dinged for the regulator?

Got dinged this afternoon.

Me too! That was really fast.

Got dinged yesterday. The Regulator's been a Grail of mine for a while now; I'm so excited to finally get one.

Do the specs on the new one match the original?

i think the specs match the TT regulator but with a hand ground unsharpened swedge, waiting to hear back about the heat treat

regulator Ding...... It's a Xmas miracle.

Merry Christmas everyone and to all a sharp knife!

Thanks V13! There seem to have been a few variations now, it's difficult to tie down what a classic Regulator should be. I guess it doesn't really matter though, because I'm finally getting a Regulator!

i think of the classic as the TT or Mil-Over Run

Got my shipment notice today. Just in time for Christmas!

yup just got my tracking number can't wait

Lets see some pics, plz

any of you kydex makers get one and gonna be selling sheaths?

Mine came a few days ago, here hanging out with some others [img:left][/img]

wow that muddy one looks great

What an awesome interpretation of an American Classic.

The new ones look nice!

My only other tanker was a swamp warden.... Really liking the tanker... How is it that this melts in your hand?.... some kind of voodoo going on in Ohio.

I believe it!

I Love the Regulator handle! I wish it would show up on more blades

MM

Nice pic M/J!

I would like to see a Regulator with a DogFather style handle.

Any word on this? Really want to know if they used DHT blades like the TT.

They are not DHT.

I don't regret my purchase per se, but I really don't know what to do with this thing. I'm fortunate enough to have a 911, 1111, 1311, Safety Mutt, and Trash-1 from the Yard as well as the American Regulator (really pretty lucky considering what a recent SYKCO-phile I am). I can and have found a use for all of them, I'm just lacking a Mud Mutt to get slicier than the Safety Mutt.

I just don't 'get' the Regulator. I can pick it up, touch it, turn it, twist it, etc. but I don't know what purpose it fills. It gets touted as a new age Bowie but the absolute last thing I would want if I was silly enough to fight with a knife is a bunch of weight. I'd rather have a Bic pen in my hands than a heavy knife if it came to that. All the better to jab you in the throat, my dear..

I know I'm not one of the old school dogs but please don't take this as an affront to SYKCO. Other than the above listed knives that I already have I'm also in the red for both versions of the Chop House and the SYKCO Skinner. The best thing I've done with INFI is sell it and buy more ScrapYard goodness. I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around this particular model. Variety is the spice of life and I love that, I'd just like to hear if people have found a practical use for their Regulator

Grog, some LOVE the Regulator and to them it is the end all knife for everything. Me, not so much. I am like you. AS a fighter, it is I THINK, and I have no really real world experience, just a couple Little things, it is WAY to heavy. Now as a COMBAT knife, it might well be one of the best out there. That thing should be able to support an Abrams tank and not blink, so it would be good for digging, some chopping and other tasks someone in a combat situation might find themselves needing. Personally though I would use my BullDog Regulator as I like the FFG better.

That being said, the new Regulator might be quite a bit better. Time and use will tell.

Love the FFG Regulator and the handles are the bees knees. Don't fight with mine but it is my all purpose blade. Can chop stab cut batton with no problems.

I don't know anything about knife fighting. I watched the video that was posted...and a, yeah.... Pretty sweet and light for it's size. The one thing I have learned about this forum is... listen. Thank you all! Chop house!

Gave my 9 year old the 711....he said heavy. gave him the Reg...light.

The Regulator is a nice back up to your pistol, I have been carrying this blade for 2 years everyday. I will be doing more SD work with knives on my new FB page so you are welcome to come see the Regulator in action.
