I think the best answer you will get to this is the standard "two weeks", which is loosely translated to the word "soon" in the english language.

Yes, I guess my question is just rhetorical.

Calendar?!? We don't need no stinkin' calendar!!!

I hear in addition to handling the SY warranty and replacement service, Klink will be filling orders soon from his extensive private collection.

Ya better watch out though, I've heard he's a gouger.

I hear he's got a lot more than that.

Cutthroat!!!

I'm going to go against the grain of this thread....

I didn't like my 511's. I feel the Scrapper 5 is a better design, and the execution was higher on it. (All of my 511's had noticeable gaps between the Res-C and blade where it met the tang).

The mudders on the S5 feel great, and the blade profile is better (IMHO). The mudders are why I like the 411 (kept the 411's and sold the 511's). In fact, I'm giving away four 411's this Christmas because for "sheeple" its a perfect sized knife.

I think the Scrapper 5 was one of Dan's best designs (if not the best overall knife).

ETA: My wife prefers mudders to any other handle design she's used.

I bought a mil overrun 511 a while back, then sold all of my S5s. I agree the mudders are better, but the choilless (for the most part) and ffg design of the mil 511 made it a winner for me. Mine has zero issues with the handle-to-tang fitting problems. Mudders would make it better, though.

I traded GunfixrJoe a while ago for his Scrapper 5, and while I liked the mudders I was not entirely satisfied with the knife overall.

I felt the 5" blade was just a smidge small for what I would use it for, 6" would have been perfect for me. I liked the thickness (.170") but would have preferred a different grind, either full flat or full convex.

Wasn't feeling the thumb ramp or choil too much either, they are certainly not for everyone.
