Well as many of you know I have been searching for a Tan Son of Dogfather for sometime. Well I finally found one!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It needs some work and isnt as pristine as I had hoped, but I also will not hesitate to use it. I will still search out a mint Tan SOD for the collection but right now I am thrilled to have one in my hands!!!

This thing is a BEAST! It is solid, thick, and mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It feels great in the hand.

Here a couple of shots for you all.

Here she is out of the box,

The greatest logo of all time!!!
(which Dan I hope you never stop using. The SYKCO on the 11 series is nice but the [color:"red"] DOG logo is just freaking awesome, it is the symbol of Scrap Yard Knives and I love it!!! )[/color]

Congrats

Can't wait for the chop off with the 7-11.

Off the cuff how does it feel compared to the 7-11?


MM
I'll take a shot of Jack as well

NICE .....mine is with a bunch of other knives that will be hitting the post to me from FL (a mate there takes bulk deliveries for me and then sends them on). The SOD was one of the knives that MADE me look further into SYKO.

Congratulations mate...!!!

It feels great. It is heavier than the 711, but not in a bulky way,

The choil is a whole lot easier to use on the 711. The sod is further from the hilt or top of the handle causing you to reach further

Now this has always been my Grail so I wanted one.

But for a user the 711 will get mre carry time. I really like the feel, weight, and design of the new one.
For those of you who do not have a od but have or are going to get a 711 you are not necessarily missing out.

The final results will be in the chop off and actual field use, but as of right now the 711 is still a top knife!

Congrats, my SOD is second only to my scrapper-6 but that's just me. I agree with you on the original logo it is sweet, I actually sent my SOD back because someone stripped the blade and they recoated it and reapplied the logo.

You have to hang around the blade forum exchange in the busse/swamp/scrap yard for sale sub forum. It wouldn't hurt to place an ad in the want to buy thread, that's how I got mine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And that is such an awesome color combo also! Perfect. Makes me once again regret having sold my DDF...
