Hmm, maybe a Basic Gemini should be a thing?
dang...both would be awesome - love that saber grind and combo on that reg you got.
Also - INFI M9 would be shiz.
Im with you Warder! Or maybe a FFG but keep the front of the spine nice and aggressive. I like the half circle choil too. Dare I say Nuke it? But don't release it for a while haha. oh man....I need to sell some knaffs :"(.

I was blown away when I got this one, it was so much bigger than I expected...but in a good way ;'P.
I loves me some INFI and Res-C, but I sold off the knives I had with the regulator handles because of what I felt was a slight "miss" in the design. Before they do another run of Regulator handles, I'd like to see them grind the Res-C out just a little more behind the guard and change the angle of the tang slightly so the blades run in a straighter line coming from the front of the guard. Right now, they look a little "upswept" to my eye. I'd love to see a Regulator Gen2 handle the overall blade angle slightly dropped (point of blade to red dot and front guard area like TGLB and Lg Res-C handles)...

(Thanks xxwarderxx for letting me use your picture!)
This is exactly why I got the clipThe clipped HOG B8 is not too far away from an INFI TT Regulator.
And then there's a question of which Regulator style?
Were there just the two styles that you posted earlier? I completely missed out on the Regulators (is there also a DeRegulator????) so I'm a little out of the loop, but would sure like to try one of those full-height grind models.
Yup...a brief overview of the model would include:
* the original Regulator...coated hollow ground blade with semi-circular choil
*American Regulator <AR>...FFG & squared off choil as on most SYKCO's
*Test Team Regulator...same as AR with main difference being the TT's thicker bladestock
*Parkerized Regulator...same as original but with non-painted Parkerized finish and wider variety of ResC colors
*DeRegulator...same as original but with top guard bobbed.
I think that hits most of the highlights...I think.![]()
