I don't know what situation forced you to sell your Dog Father, but if you're an, "All my knives must be users" guy, then [IMHO] you've got the right one. Not to take anything away from the Dog Father (I own several -- it's a the first knife I think of when I think of Scrap Yard and I'm in no hurry to divest), but I'd rather tote a 1311 -- it just feels "right" to me. I see that you're enjoying yours; great pics.
