The DF remains a favourite of mine !!! As does the 1311 !!! I recently got a BWM at a most reasonable price (as it has some edge and point damage that I have now fixed) and it is a sweet thing. I also love the FFBM, you just feel like you are weilding a monster !!! That said...the DF...well I do keep comming back to that one... wink.

I like my 911(s) as well, but as you note I like them as a BIG knife, not a chopping tool (duty they can perform though). I think the 911 makes more sense strapped to a pack when weight is more of a consideration. It can still chop and multifunction, the later a little better than the DF I think, but the DF is THE DF and you can't go wrong grabbing one !!!!
