What's great is that we don't have to wait 6 months to see the results! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm looking forward to it as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Me too. What about a TT Regulator compared to a SODLE? What is the weight differences between those two?

I did a 8" Aspen last fall with the SOD... It still gave me a little workout and that was after me sharpening it, but it improved the results 10 fold from when I first recieved it...even still the SOD has still been my choice as my main type of survival type blade stashed away with other gear ready for D-day ......I would imagine they would be similar in chopping using the Kenetic Energy scale. Speedxspeed x weight / 42xxxx. If the grindheight is different ..or further up (flatter) I'd give the edge to the regulator.... Even being made of different steels the SR77 has shown excellent results for me vs wood and really never had an issue with lots of wood so I think only geometry will be the only key player with the REG and SOD heads up challenge.

I do have both and a friend has a Camp Tramp but it will be a couple weeks before I can get away and do any test. Between school, state tournament, and me taking a trip to IL to pick my brother up there is no sun left.

Mine is 14.1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I have a hypothesis...my SoDLE will outchop my TT Reg. Without weighing the two, my experience is that the SoD is 'blade-heavy' and it is one hell of a chopper for its size. I've had to sharpen both knives to get a better edge than as delivered. Hopefully, I can test, compare, and photograph in the very near future.

Will do. I am thinking of taking boyh on the trip to Chi-town in hopes my brothers place needs a trim before he leaves it.

My T/T Regulator weighs 14 ozs., my two SOD LE'S each weigh 14 ozs., and my Tan SOD weighs 16 ozs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So e are probably looking at weight/handle ratio differences between the two. Then we need to run the test again except the 2nd one first since it will be a fresh new day? Cold be a lot of fun!

You need a more accurate scale, Tom - we want at least three significant figures <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


(I feel like I'm back in Atlanta, teaching intro physics labs again)

I am lost MM. I just want to chop some wood!!!

If you will buy a more accurate scale for me I will be happy to post more accurate figures! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Actually, I am using my Rapala electronic fish scale - come to think of it you may be right. I'm SURE that my fish are bigger and heavier than that scale indicates! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

See, I was thinking, instead of buying you a scale, you could send one of the SOD LE's to me for proper measurement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


(I think we've had this discussion before - deja vu? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

Well, I'm a little leery about sending a sharp knife to a youngster like you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> You may not shoot your eye out, but you might cut off a body part! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

MM haven't you are gotten my SODLE I sent to Georgia?

The LE vs TT will be interesting. I think the Regulator can hold its own especially if using a three finger hold on the Regulator. It's amazing how much more you get out of it by sliding your hand back on that handle.

My mail forwarding finally kicked in yesterday, so it ought to be here soon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

That sounds very painful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I just asked it in another thread when I remembered about this one, does anyone have side-by-side pics of the 2?

I just replied in the other thread, but I will throw my poorly-lit picture in here too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the both the replies MM. The picture is perfect, I wanted to see the blade height of the 2. They look good in black. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

This thing has a nasty point...looks great!
