I'll second the notion of the 911 being a more well rounded blade. If I could only have one, I would likely choose the 911 over the 1311 because of this. But, if I was pairing it up with a 4-6" belt knife the 1311 would be a no brainer.

I strongly believe that 9-10" blades make for the best all-rounders, ESPECIALLY when they weigh roughly 16 oz. AND have a nice forward balance like the 911.

One thing I will disagree with you upon is your statement about the 1311 being a one trick pony, as it should be more capable than the 911. The 1311 is basically a heavy machete, which have long been known to be very versatile tool. I believe what you were getting it is that it will be too unwieldy to do the finer tasks without difficulty.

Probably my two favorite Scrap Yard blades currently, can't really go wrong with either of them if you got them at factory or better pricing. Two thumbs up!!
