911 Has Arrived. Bring the BIG ONE! #732349 09/09/12 08:59 PM

It fits the 10" nylon sheath well enough. It also fits several other sheaths I have. The knife reminds me of my old trusty (and rusty) Ontario Survival Bowie. The 911 is just a bit heavier and slightly more of a blade heavy feel. I am guessing the full flat grind and taper of the blade on the Ontario makes it lighter. The 911 came with a decent even edge (thanks Mike). The mosquitos are hell today. I'll wait for a cooler day once I get the 1311, and do a good comparison. I did enough with the 911 today to know it has the right stuff. Last edited by Horn Dog; 09/10/12 02:24 AM. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I was thinking of comparing it to the M9LE, but what would that prove? Only that my M9LE is a little sharper. The one I am really looking forward to giving a workout is the awesome 1311....or Scrapchete. That will be a chopping, slashing beast of a knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

OP Horn Dog Junk Yard Dog Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 14,586 Georgia	This isn't much of a review. I will do a thorough comparison between the 911 and 1311 when the big one arrives. I have many knives similar to the 911, but nothing like the 1311 except machetes and goloks. A 13.5" blade is longer than the BRKT golok, longer than my custom parang, longer than my kukris. This thing is going to be awesome. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I look forward to your review of this knife at a later date <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I dont think their is anything in the same league as the 1311, just a beast all the way around. ~Jeff JYD#172

I have lots of 9" to 10" choppers, but a 13.5" blade 3/16" thick of that sweet SR101 steel. The palmettos and wood chips will be flying! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
