Favorite Res-C handle style

Okay dogs, with the release of the War Dog and the new handle style...I was wondering what handle style is most liked. Put in your votes!

NOTE-- New Mad Dog Style should be New War Dog Style. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I voted Mudders. I like all the others but Mudders feel best in my hand.

I haven't voted yet, gonna wait until I get to work tonight and play with the new pup then I'll cast my vote.

I voted standard style like the Dumpster Mutts but I am refferin to the original run with the Basic handle.
I LOVE the Basic Res C!!!!

I like the regular style like on the Dumpster Mutt Double Cut. Smaller than the S6 and a perfect fit for my hand. I'm not to sure of the new War Dog's handle. I guess I would have to feel it to decide. On a side note, after seeing some of the other dog's pics, I'm glad I didn't purchase one. Seeing it side by side with some other SY knives I'm not liking it to much. Just my take.

Yep,gonna wait till I get the War Dog in hand.
It'll be hard to pick just one though,the 4 previous work/feel so well on their respective knives.
I think for overall comfort,the reg handle gets the nod for now.
I & a few others (IINM) would like to see it on the next chopper.

RES C RULES!!

I could handle something like that without the top "Guard" on say an 11 or 11 1/2 inch .200 thick full flat ground blade. OH wait, that almost sounds like the Busse Combat B11! Now if DAN would make one, with a satin finish or a tanker gray blade and green handles.....

I kinda agree. I am glad I paid a decent amount less for a Scrapper 5 with sheath. The War Dog looks nice but all my fixed blades are in that size range and I need a Sykco chopper. Oh I voted mudder handle as well it's the only one I have handled though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My Fav is still the Mudders!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I love the Reg handle, I'm waiting for a HUGE chopper with it.

I voted Mudder, but the Reg and the new WD are not far behind. I would love to see a 10"-11" Regulator. I think it would be a huge home run for chopper lovers.

P. S. Good poll knotslip

I will just throw a big +1 to your entire comment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I voted Mudders, I like the way they are shaped more than the "straight" new WD handle, although it is really nice. Just like the way the Mudders fit the contours of my hand better.

The War Dog handle is the only one I've handled or seen up close. I like it.

Looks like mudders are the favorites with a commanding 47% of the vote. I agree with some others that the others aren't far behind...Its just that the mudder handles just feel nice in my hand and are easy to hold onto. All of the others are close with the standard Dumpster Mutt style handles in second place with 21%. We'll see if this changes but so far looks like mudders are the favorites. Thanks for voting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have to give preferance to the Mudder handle,just about perfect in my opinion. I like the handle on the War Dog but I am certain I will be rounding off the corners of the pommel.

Dunno, I voted the new style handle ( though I'm not sure what the mad dog is? ) mudders have always felt to short and chunky in my hand , they are comfortable, just not natural for me

Hah! Good catch there JR - I didn't even notice that I typed Mad dog instead of War Dog. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I guess everyone figured out what I meant though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks.

Could not figure out how to edit a poll entry so I just added a note at the top. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I went with the Regulator style but the War dog would be a close second.

I'm not sure how a War Dig handle would be on a large chopper.

It might be to fat in the palm swells? Or not - so without knowing I went regulator.

My order (favorite to least):

1.) original <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
2.) new WD
3.) regulator
4.) mudder <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> yeah, I was just razzing ya. I knew right away what you meant

I love them all. I guess I would say that the original is my least favorite, but it doesn't mean I don't love it. They're all so comfy!

I've not held one but based on looks I've voted for the Wardog. I love the mudders but the Wardog handle looks even better. The DM handles are a little too small for my hands.

After handling your War Dogs, does any one else feel compelled to round the side corners of the Butt/Pommel. The voices are trying to talk me into it.

I got the war dog at work today.Awesome knife!
It beats mudders by a smidgen in my book,they both feet great,but I like the overall feel of the new handle better.
Smooth but grippy without the ridges on the top & bottom of the mudders.
I like the smaller ridges in the sides of the mudders,but the top & bottom are just a bit too pronounced IMO.
Maybe I'll just sand 'em down on one of my muppies.
I'm still going with the regulator handle for a chopper.
In any form,Res C still rules!

Yes.
Just a little off the sides please. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think that as well. Also what I like most about the mudders is the way they are contoured. The way they follow the curvature of your hand as you hold it. And I DO like the WarDog grip.

Too hard to really decide..............I love them all.

I chose Regulator for the poll. Preferences are below.

Regulator for anything with a longer blade => ANY chopper, ANY Bowie, and also fighters or combat knives with a blade about 7" or longer.

New War Dog, I like this for smaller, lightweight knives less than 7". I would love an anorexic Regulator shaped blade of about 5" long (anorexic HG-55). I also would love to see this new handle with a "guard" on top just like it has on the bottom. I'd love an anorexic War Dog.

I really like the Mudder for many reasons - it's very useable, provides a great grip & texture, and the "mudgrip" styling is really cool.

Nothing against the Basic or the Standard, but it is my least favorite by far.

I am with you...but obviously I like them all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Having had them all... Mudder all the way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

mudders get the most use. Reg handles are nice but the OG handles seem to work well with those blade designs.

I'm hoping Dan has plans to toss magnum mudders on that 9" recurve on the first page of the gear thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I may have to change my vote. I originally voted for the regulator style, but that was before my War Dog arrived in the mail, I really love the way it fits my hand.

Basic, wardog, mudder, then regulator

I am a mudder fan.

War Dog and Regulator are more "grippy" to me than the Mudders. Prefer War Dog first, Regulator second and then Mudder.
