If the 711 is close to the SOD I think a Cold steel ReconScout is a blade of the same size but the trail master is a little to big. The Trail master is better to compare with Swamp rat M9.

My cold steel recon scout is a real workhorse, I can't say anything bad about it.
(used it to dig, work, chop, batonning,pry,throwing...)

But if I think to compare it with the SOD, the ReconScout will be out gunned by the SOD for sure !


just my 2 cents,
