The 1311 has much more forward weight than the B10LE or 911, the B10LE balances about an inch from the end of the handle whereas the 1311 is a good bit farther down the blade.

When choking up your grip, the 1311 will not be well balanced like the B10LE or 911 would be and is also a bit heavier overall. This means that you can get good control for finer task from the B10LE/911 due to their lightweight and balance.

You've also got the ability to choke up the spine which should help further for control, a trick that works quite well is to tuck the handle into your armpit and grab the spine at the front of the blade for finer carving/cutting. This will not fatigue you as much as having the blade floating and should give you more control for making your cuts.

If you paired a 1311 with a "bushcraft" knife, this will present difficulties in carrying the larger knife and will weigh a good bit more than a lightweight 10" chopper. I guess the main reason people probably look at 6-8" blades as all rounder is mostly due to the fact that most Busse' are quite heavy even at that size and likely another part could be inexperience at using a larger blade for finer tasks.

In many less priviledged parts of the world, people will only carry one blade on them at all times in the form of goloks, kukris, machetes, bolo, etc.......

If I could only choose one Bussekin blade to have/carry, and was not limited be the ability to conceal said blade........I would likely choose something quite similar to the 1311. Unfortunately, carry is a problem for most and therefore the shorter/lighter choppers are a good compromise between utility/concealment/carry weight.
