I have been waiting for this for a while. I like the 511 but I thought it was smaller than I had expected, ( the handle, choil, etc.) I have come to love it as a small edc knife and it fits the bill.
But come on, WE love bigger knives.
The 711 fits the bill. This thing is awesome!!!
The handle is full size and comfortable. The choil is is big enough for my sausage size fingers.
It came pretty dog gone sharp. It will shave hair with a little effort and paper cutting isnt easier in a shredder <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
This is going to be a big hit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> My friend wanted to know about the difference between the Camp Tramp handles and the 711 so I figured I would post some pics for you all as well.
Here they are side by side

Here they are from the top

And as you can see with the 711 it is pretty much the same.

Hope this helps Doc.
Here are the comparison pics for you Fumbler.

Notice the slight difference in blade shape
[img]
http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h459/sar511/lay.jpg[/img]
the CT is wider in the blade then the 711

The finger guard before the choil is more pronounced on the CT while the 711 has a more sleek look and feel, offering a lower profile.

In my opinion they are the same handle size. The Camp Tramp feels more solid or hard, hard being the proper word I believe. The Camp Tramp is also a older knife and my thinking is that maybe the res c gets a little more solid with age.
All in all I find it hard to tell the difference in a blind fold test. Word to the wise, be careful of the edges when working blind folded!!!<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
