Some of us aren't rich! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

BUT, if I was I would go after the 311 (And I did!), the 411 just because, the 511 because it is such a handy length. Then the 711, not because I need another 7 inch blade but because it looks cool and finally the 911. MY long lusted for chopper. Is it really bad to lust after an inanimate object?

And no, I didn't mention the 611. With my 5 inch blades (I have 3) it just doesn't appeal to me. I had a 6.5 regulator for a while and although it is a nice blade, it just didn't feel right in my hand so I traded it for a BullDog Regulator, a knife I am MUCH happier with.

The 611 is interesting but I went with the 711 and I think that will do me just fine in the medium size. The 911 looks like a sure thing and will sell like hotcakes I'm sure. IF the 411 has mudders, I'll be all over that as well. Now IF Dan would also grace us the long desired ORANGE mudder option on a 411, well then [censored], second mortgage here I come.

I have never held a regulator handle, but I am sure it feels great in hand. I guess the layout of the knife, 611 being more straight than the others, the regulator handle suits it better. The basic handle calls for a bit of a curve on the tang, I think...

Maybe I am just being difficult, (or "Rasmus modsat" in Danish) because I don't have a Scrapper 6, and want something close to that.

I'll probably get one though I think it would look better with no choil or a small one like the 311. The first three 11 series have been awesome knives so I suspect the rest will be also. Dan and company are on a roll here!

For me I want the 911,411, and possibly the 611. The first two for sure, especially if the mudder handle appears on the 411.

The 611 is an in the middle size and I usually opt for smaller or larger. But I will be picking one up because I can't resist the value Dan is providing here.

I think the 611 is going to be a special model. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Usually I am a choil person, but if the 611 is made with the regulator handle, I don't know how usefull that choil would be... I mean, it would be pretty hard to reach.
But yes, I am sure whatever Dan comes up with, it will be spot on.

Well I will not be buying all the 11 series . I just can't afford to and don't need every size . But I have bought the 511 and 711 and can't wait till the 911 come out . From the knives I got and what other have said about the ones they bought , I'm pretty sure that the whole line of 11 series knives are going to be winners .
