While viewing some camparrison pics of the 711 and a Camp Tramp on another thread , I saw a couple of measurment photos showing the blade widths . This brought something to my attention that I'm not very happy with on the 711 (as I have one on the way too) . The blade width measurment clearly shows the Camp Tramp at 1 3/4" wide and the 711 at 1 9/16 wide . But on the Scrap Yard site it clearly states the blade width as 1 3/4" and that's one of the reasons I bought the knife . My Busse basic 6 is a little over 1 9/16 wide and I "thought" the 711 would be bigger . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm pretty dissapointed about this . NOT that this means the knife is any less great and I'm sure it will be one of the most loved Scrap Yard knives . But if it has the same blade width and only 7/8 longer blade it's more similar to my Basic 6 than I had hoped and expected .


HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS !
