I would put the Tali in the LIGHT 711 category. NO It's not as much of a chopper as the 711 is, but if all I had was a tali and no 711 I wouldn't feel hindered at all. The Tali will chop, just not as well as a "Blade heavy" designed one. For a Multi function blade, I would have to give a LOT of thought between the Tali and the 711.

Considerations would be weight, ACTUAL type of use, and blade shape. IF it would be more of a protection blade, the Tali would win hands down. TO ME the blade shape and balance are more conducive to a "Fighter". If more of a Chopper/camp blade, the scales might tend to tilt toward the 711.

It would just require some serious thinking, much like the Wilderness Survival Knife thread has brought about.
