Regulators just arrived :)

My two regulators with sheaths just arrived. Great looking knives that feel good in the hand. Thought the blade would be longer for some reason but def underestimated the thickness...overall beautiful great feeling knives that were an absolute bargain!

THIS NEEDS PICS

Sweet, but we need pics.

Pics up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sure, I just resized them for forums. Here you go:

NICE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />!! I don't recall having knives in the store AND being delivered at same time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />? This way guys can get all excited and order even more !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very nice! I'm glad that I have one on order.

are they numbered?

good catch Wiggitty. And congrats on getting your regs Md

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

They are indeed numbered. One is 4599A and one is 4599B. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

weird it looks as tho mds are numbered and mine is not what does that mean?

and 4598A-4598B-4598C is the first batch I have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

??? mine are all numbered as above- are yours sterile ? The sheats are EXCELLENT <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Great buy- now I am going to test them against my TT versions. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I am VERY PLEASED I have both models <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Quite a differance IMO. Further testing needed- but just holding the two seems way different to me- how about you guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> ?

yep really weird i just gave mine a second look over and indeed there is no numbers at all just the scrapyard logo.....im not concerned just curious.....freakin sweet knife and sweet deal tho

The numbered ones baton better.

...

Sorry, had to be done! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

lol!!well then i better buy another so i can have a better batoneer then

are the ones that are numbered ones that were received at a reduced priced and "locked up" from reselling for some period of time?

That would make sense, good point

for getting them at the mil, LEO , TT price, can't sell em for a year,

Maybe that is it- I don't really know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. I can tell you they are SWEEEEEET <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />! and one hell of a deal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Hey- are we allowed to talk about these <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />? I remember I couldn't say anything about the other TT version- so don't want anybody upset with me fer sure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />.I started to express my first impressions about one against the other- but I will wait for the green light so I don't get in hot water <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. I WILL say- that if ya haven't ordered you better get on it REAL fast as thes knives are classics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Thanks SY one hell of a knife and one great deal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

well our guess is that the special test team price and military discount knives are numbered so they can track who sells them

Nice!!! sweet pics! i ordered a Dereg but these pics are making want to get a Regulator too!

Yep- that is a FACT Joe- I just confirmed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Without the extra writing- it is LIGHTER- so- naturaly the heaveier one chops better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Plus- the Reg will out chop the de reg as part of the quillion is gone making it MUCH lighter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- good call <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ( lol)

Did you guys get into some catnip by chance? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I want to hear a comparison between the TT Regs and Military Overruns.

I don't think Dan ever said we couldn't.

Just got mine today. It is numbered after my invoice number. Great knives. Great knives!

If Tom or someone can confirm it is OK- I will be more than happy to voice my OPINION <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.You also have both Seth ? Correct ? I just walked back in from outside where I was comparing. I can say there is a BIG differnace- BUT - BOTH are absolutely AWESOME knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.I didn't think they would be that different- but they sure are IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. How about others ?-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ordawg1 if you got yours that means mine should be waiting for me Monday

I have three TT Regs with 1DeReg and 2 Regulators on the way. Cant wait to compare them

Cool! get one dirty yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You get charged in the first pass?

All three of the TT Regs are dirty and once the others get here they will be too.

I got charged first round and if they are numbering by invoice # mine will be in my hand soon.

Yes and Yes-I think Seth did also ( get charged) I imagine his and Ron's ( sportsnut) are waiting for them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.The NW Dawgs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I bet that is it.

I just got mine too. There is a huge difference between the test team version and the mil bowie.

Is it just me or the sheath really hard to lock up? the first button was impossible to tighten with one hand O.o.

Lets hear your opinion on the differences

The sheath is very tough to snap/unsnap yes. But I think that may have been the point. Honestly, I think unless you were actively parachuting or something that the sheath can do without the velcro. In a military setting I'd almost consider it a liability because of the noise factor when taking the knife out.

However, that being said the sheath itself is amazing and I'm simply trying to offer some criticism on it, not bashing it whatsoever. I really like it, particularly for the price I got it at! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The mil version is a bit more blade heavy than the Test team. That usually means a better chopper but I can not say for certain since I didn't take the mil version out of the house yet. The spine is nicely rounded unlike the TT. I'm also digging the new logo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

The sheath is very nice for the $$ too! I hope Dan can offer sheaths like this from now on with his knives!

Thanks, anymore reviews comparing the two different models? I can't wait.

that would make sense why I havent gotten dinged or anything because I didnt get the discount. I just purchased the dereg at the regular price.

My two Reg's arrived today, but aren't numbered. Did anyone determine why some are numbered and some are not?

http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthread...ge=0#Post387894

I'm bummed. I was dinged on the 15th but didn't get my Reg today. But I did get in my SRKW knives so it took a little of the sting out of it.

There,there,MB it's ok,you'll get yours.

LOL,

I think I'll be able to make it through the rest of the weekend. I will just have to soldier on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The new Reg is a bit blade heavy making it a better chopper for sure. With that being said-the original TT is a much better fighter and better balanced.The sheath fits both versions with no problem and if you work the snaps a bit they do break in. For camp chores the new one has a slight edge- but as a pure fighter or a defense knife to carry in the rig I will keep my original <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.If a guy was wanting to buy just one- I really can't say as i am not in that postion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I would say with the very limited runs of the original that prices are going to go up for guys seeking a fighter/ defense type of blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. On the other hand- at 100 bucks with sheath I would suggest that if you haven't ordered one best get on it while these are still in the store <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. These two knives in SR101 are going to be classics for sure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I will give a few more opinions after I have bashed on the new one like I did one of my old version <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. Keep in mind- these are merely MY opinions and i don't know a hell of a bunch <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've always wondered what a pure fighter is? and if someone was attacking me wouldn't I want to chop him? If I had my choice I would walk around with a Dog Father <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But really what is a pure fighter? In Los Angeles for a number of years the number one weapon used to attack people were box cutters!! I'ld use ANYTHING to deal with a maniac like that

Also this is out of curiosity (I am a newbie) not criticism <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on the Regs, I'm really looking forward to mine... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Interesting about the Numbers...and Letters...

You can rest assured that all THREE Regs will chop <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I was merely stating my OPINION mostly as to BALANCE and how " fast in hand" the original Reg was as compared to the new ones. This being a Mil overun-I can imagine that the military is indeed using these in combat situations <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Here is a description of a Bowie Fighter and I must say that the Reg ceratinly meets this description IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> http://www.historicarkansas.org/knife_gallery/ .Yes- if someone was coming at me with a box cutter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />-I would not really like to use ANY knife- but if I had to- the Reg is one heck of a defense knife. Of course so is the handgun that I carry in my rig here in Oregon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. That may not be the case in LA <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />? Not sure of the laws. Keep in mind- this is merely MY OPINION of the Regs. One heck of a knife I must say at a great price whichever model you prefer. I like both versions so I have several of each. Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sweet!! That was fast.

Thanks!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

No problem and if I somehow messed up and forgot " WELCOME" to the yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- nice having you here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was under the impression that if you got the discount for the Reg. you had a agreement not to sell for a certain amount of time and the Regulators would be numbered if you got the discount....However I do not work for Scrap Yard but I had asked Renee about this when they were released because I was thinking about getting one for my brother in law who is in the military.

But remember I do not work for Scrap Yard so I might be wrong.

You have it correct Amy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- but you usually do-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yahoo....I thought that was how it was but sometimes I make mistakes...LOL

That might very well be it. I did get them at discount (well, one of them...still waiting on refund for the other one) with my military ID and trust me when I say I have zero intention of selling either of these even after the year is up. They are going to be heavy duty users this summer when I take my brothers-in-law camping <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
