That is what a pool will do...

the MO511 would be a good fighting knife. full flat grind special choil and tan and camo

I can never understand the whole knife fight stuff, if you are wanting a knife for fighting then you might as well get something nice cheap, pointy and made in China from someone such as Cold Steel. In fact you might as well go to your nearest hardware store and get a long screwdriver. Stabbing through skin and fat doesn't require a very strong blade and edge retention definitely isn't an issue. For me the only reason I purchase quality knives such as Busse-Kin is because they keep a great edge when Bushcrafting, hunting etc..........Sorry for getting off topic, I will now step down from my soap box ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I agree with you. but if i was in a fight I would wan a kin blade. why carry a hipoint into a fight when you can carry glock

Fair point !

why thank you

The reality is that most kitchen knives would make better fighters than the vast majority of Bussekin blades ever produced.....

But let's get back on topic of the 611, I only brought up this matter to illustrate just one instance where choilless most definitely beats choil....

No need to convert me buddy, I can't think of one single example of where a choil could be more usefull than a well designed blade with no choil ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I regret trading my MO 511, it's really the only Bussekin I can think of that I whole-heartedly regret letting go...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

It was most definitely a cutter, probably the best Scrap Yard I've ever had in that regard.

While I had mine, I accidentally banged the edge right into a thick drinking glass which I didn't see sitting on the carpet.

I was pleasantly surprised that there were only a couple of microchips in the edge after that impact.

I have not seen one on the exchange since I traded mine off a couple months ago.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

The more I think about the 611, the more I start to think that this one is not up for debate....

I have a strong feeling that the 611 will be exactly what was debuted at Blade 2011 with the rest of the 11' line.

Only time will tell on this one, so I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet.

Well, the boot HD Dagger is up for grabs right now... Throw some paracord round it, and you got your self a fighter worth more than any kitchenknife.

I too think Dan will bring the Reg. handle on the 611.
The majority of the '11 had the generic basic handles, which I love.
But I believe Dan will throw a bone to all those in to the Reg. handles.
Heck I may even go for it, and find out I like it...
