The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

Well since Mr. Steeley Man won't do it, I guess it's up to me to give a review.

First it fits my medium fat hand perfectly. The butt end sets in the groove made when you move your thumb toward your little finger without extending into the wrist area. Now for the cutting.

It has a lot better edge than I thought. It slit open an envelope just like a razor.

I did the obligatory press cut and it was Extremely impressive. It cut so well that I could hardly tell there was any resistance to the blade at all. The first cut, just like a hot knife through butter. In all I made 10 cuts and the last was just as easy as the last.

I don't know about how it will cut EVERYTHING, but let me tell you, it went through that boiled hotdog SO easy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, this is gonna be a GREAT knife for Dan. Oh and us as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Lol I don't get to sit at a computer all day Skunk <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. I love it. I'm still working on getting it as sharp a I would like. But it is super comfy and I wear an xlarge glove so hopefully others will find it as comfortable.

The Yard is just killing it with the 11 series. This is an awesome little knife and a bargain to boot. Thanks Dan!

Give us an in hand pic, buddy.
Will do asap. For some odd reason this handle feels roomier than the 511 handle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.

Thats what I was gonna ask. Steely or Skunk is it the same handle?

I don't have a 511 so I can't say, but hang on a sec.

Ok BLD, I am guessing the handle is the same. The 511 is listed as 10.00 inches overall with a 5.5 inch blade. So that would make the handle 4.5, same as the 311.
