Choils on large choppers and other neat elements like a "skull crusher" pommel are nifty on some custom knives with tactical names, but SY knives are for those of us who expect quality hard-use knives. Choils have their place, but not for every knife or every model. I'd like to see a departure from that on a 4" model to be used as a good bushcrafter. If the 311 blade's mini-choil was removed, thinned out a bit, extended out about 1/2" and left uncoated, (look at CABS blade) I think it would be a hit (expecially if made from INFI)! A CABS blade on a Res-C handle = SY perfection.
