Usually when I am excited for new knife to come my way I can look up similar knife in a review or grab something out of the knife drawer that will help me imagine the new arrival on the horizon. For example, checking out an S5 and SR R4 I can imagine what the 411 might be like. Waiting for a 911 I could look up old DF and Battle Rat reviews. Then there is the 1311. I was swinging my Condor Golok this weekend and it dawned on me......my 1311's are going to be almost this big! I cannot recall ever handling a “knife” this big or seeing one in action. I got to looking around for a review of such an immense blade and found one on BF: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showth...t=grass+macheteThis great little review of the grass machete made me want my 1311 even more. I found a few youtube vids of it to and, needless to say, I am pumped!!!! The 1311 will be a game changer for sure! It did raise the question; is the 1311 a knife or machete? I guess I’ll go with knife because if it is a machete it would be dubbed the DOGCHET!!!!!!

knife - it's over 1/8" thick, which is kind of my breaking point on that. if you like, you could also think of it as an "extra-short sword". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

IMO it is a knife, but I am sure there will be folks here that will debate that

I think the 1311 is similar to the rucki. Which also is in between a short sword or a machete. Same thickness too.

Or maybe that is what I keep telling myself because my rucki is ready to ship and I missed out on the 1311.....

Anxious for it to arrive, yep.
Going to get into an argument of "knife" or "machete"...nope.
It's wicked cool no matter what one decides it to be.
I'm really looking forward to this one.
