I was hoping that you would do a chop off. I appreciate the compliments on the knife. This was a an intense effort in trying to get a good balance of all the different variables of weight, length, grind, balance, thickness and control. I was pretty happy with the out come but then that doesn't really count, its about the Dog's and what they think. The 1311 sets a new standard for the Performance to Price Ratio...very cool

It was funny to see and listen to the Busse and SwampRat team members as these blades went through the shop. They usually said something like "What the heck is that beast...I gotta get one of those". I informed them they needed to be a ScrapYard Forum Member to buy one since it was a special offer...not sure I made any friends <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again for going to the effort to test this blade.
