well I love mudders and could use them all day as a utility blade. never once experienced any weirdness when it comes to holding a mudder handle. if fact its opposite. very natural in my hands. the only thing I ever noticed was that the S5LE I have is a we'd but from heavy which probably makes it a better fighting blade. the SS4 and Muk are perfect utility blades and I wouldn't change a single thing about either one of those except release quantities. If Dan was to change the handle on the 411 like this I think it would just about break my heart.

Im a tinkerer and plan to add a blade like 311 to the my tools since I've found myself grabbing the Muk or SS4. I literally smash my hands quite a bit because things slip. have held these blades in a lot of ways I shouldn't have and risked injuring myself but the mudder handles have always been reliable and provided for good grip. so far have never let me down. It may be due more to the ResC properties but if something works I like to stick with it. I would probably stick kidder handles on everything if I could. And I'm hopin one day we will see a magnum mudders of a 7 inch recurve blade. like the Yard version of a EU Mr. Mojo.

I have only held a couple bladed with the small basic style handles and they where too small for my liking. I still hope to add one to the collection but it may become a queen if it's anything time I remember.

look forward to seeing some 311 reviews...
