I'm just looking at the yard offerings I need the 711 since I let my SOD go when I was laid up after back surgery, in fact I lost several blades at that time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I may check out the swamp offerings but I think no busse, the only busse I had was the skinny ash but I didn't like the way it felt in my hand so off it went, I REALLY like the res-c handles as they all seem to fit my hand very well. That is the only problem with ordering the way we do from the bussekin family not getting to put it in our hand to see how it feels another reason to go to blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.
