I've got some new 1311 pics and decided to consolodate mine into this thread and encourage others to post pics of their 1311s in use! Here are some old and new pics of mine being (ab)used:

I was gonna chop it down, but I decided to try and push it over and it went right down.

The only reason I batoned sections this large is becuase they had these natural cracks I could exploit.

After all that work, and NO sharpening, it's still sharp enough to make these:

It is just amazing fun to swing that blade!

Nice pics!

At first I thought that the 1311 was just curious to have, but it actually serves a great purpose then prepping wood for a fire.

Great pictoral story of how this neat blade can be used and then some. I'll venture to say this is one of the best, big knives to make it to Arhus and beyond!

MOAD strength!!
Tony and I love flexing and bending any Busse and Kin we get our hands on.
So I started,

A little this-a-way


and a little that-a-way


Then Tony saying, "How about a lot THIS-a-way?!?!"
(And yes that is my beautiful Weiler getting photo creds here.)


Way to go Tony!!!


I didn't get the pics of him straightening the bend but it didn't take much at all.

Hope you enjoy Dogs!!!

Dang, did it bend back ok?

Oh heck yeah!! Easy too.

So your saying that Dans SR101 is pretty tough, eh?

I need the Ratweiler Re-Release soon. Also if you can do That to the 13-11 and have it bend back OK, is the Differential Heat Treat really necessary? I mean what else would you put a knife through to need it?

MM

Awesome pics!
Thanks for posting.

That is pretty amazing, right there!

I feel like I 'baby' my knives too much after seeing that kind of use.

I realized I never posted some pics I took of my 1311 in use:
