Yeah the 311 is a really nice little blade. I have a Muppy as well and I do actually like it better mainly for the blade shape but the Mudder handle... I wish it had a small 311 handle on it. Don't get me wrong, but just for me, I just feel on a blade of 3 1/2 inches the 311 size and shape handle is better than the bigger mudders.

I love the War Dog handle, though! Got the WD Hack and 2 B4s, ScrapMax, and gone for the two Max variants in the Ganza That handle is soooo comfy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The 311 blade is 3/16 inch thick, ok add a couple thousands for the coating, but the steel is 3/16. I know that, but Ganza specs say .250 When they first came up on the site for sale the specs under the pic said 1/4 inch and a lot of folks were wondering. Dan later said it was a mistake and it was supposed to have been fixed. I don't think it was corrected. Dan did say that the 311 is 3/16 inch thick. So unless they came up with something special just for the ganzaa..... Yep, saw that and rember that story as it played out. I'm thinking this time it is not a misprint, doubtful they'd make that mistake twice. Besides the photo does look like it's .25....

The scrapivore would make a nice piggyback on the 711 too.... If the 311s a fatty, that might be how I decide to roll. Better yet would be tan res-c Scrap max

EA, I have a Wardog HACK as well. Wonder why there isn't more talk about them. Have you used yours? How is that DEEP hollow grind holding up? My regular Wardog is holding up well.
