Just checking and found the 1111 is up at the shop !!!!!!!! I'm in for one, just placed my order !!! One off the 2014 knife list lol

Well THAT came up with no fanfare or announcement. Hope it's around for a good long while. No way I could pay for one any time in the foreseeable future...

Makes me wish I had passed on the 911.

Mike, you did OK on the 9-11.

Yeah, 'cause a 911 is a different knife than an 1111. You need both!

Put one in the bag
Looks like this one will be really close to a ASHBM in size, but lighter. It will be interesting to compare performance.

Also man if they can doa run of 1311 I am all in.

The 911 is an awesome knife. It doesn't get a lot of love around here but IMHO it is fantastic.

I'm out, but only cause I already have 2.

Got mine almost a month ago.



With big brother:

OK now I can order - shipping two knifes to Germany is much more resonable then just one

Haha, not only can Dan make knives, he also knows how to sell them. Check out this sales pitch copied from the 1111 info page.



Born from the shadow cast by the SYKCO 1311, this newcomer to the Yard of Scrap is so bad-to-the-bone strong that no single person can swing this mighty blade and not feel the strength of its spirit.

The howls that emanated from the Yard over the need for a heavier duty blade have not gone unanswered. The need for chopping of things once thought to be anchored with unrelenting life forces will now give way to the power and majesty of this blade. Sporting more blade forward weight, overall heft, and a lower center of gravity, the new 1111 brings an endless supply of clean, fly-away chopping to the party. Twisted knots and angry gnarls that wish to impede its function are no match for the quarter inch thick SR-101.

The Commander and Chief of Chopzonia, a small psychotic community, located just West of the Hogdom Compound, has declared The SYKCO 1111 as it’s Secretary of Fragment Fractification, in other words it is the "Supreme Head of Chip Making".

Having debuted at Blade Show 2013, ScrapYard Knives is now pleased to bring you the SYKCO 1111. Priced at $219.95 the SYKCO 1111 continues the tradition of delivering the best price to performance ratio in the market. If you have the need to chop the soul out of the most stubborn of trees and brambles there is no better choice than to grab the 1111 and release it upon your foe. For those whose idea of backing down means adding ice to their bourbon, this is the blade you've been dreaming of. . . . welcome home!

I saw that posting. So funny!

How is the swing weight on the 1111 vs the 1311? I like the longer length and slimmer profile of the 1311 but I need a reason to get a 1111, too!

It MIGHT swing more like the legendary DogFather. Having never handled an 1111 though I can't say for sure. I THINK the 11 is .250 and the DF was .276.

Well if the information I have in the knife specs thread is correct the 1111 weighs in about 1.6oz more than the DF.

It's a LOT of knife!!!

Owning a DF, not sure I can rationalize an 1111...anyone wanna help out?

that 1.6oz may be the difference between life and death.

You can see how well they work when you try to use them both at the same time..

I don't have a DF,,,yet :-) But if I did, I'd still buy a 1111. You can only get them new from the shop once. Nothing wrong with having two or more knives ? :-) lol, give me a little I'll think of some more reasons. Oh it supports the Yard directly by buying from the shop.

Don't forget that it puts a smile on Dan't face as well!

But not as big as the smile on the new owner's face!

That is true Tom, that is true.

Mine sure made me smile at Blade!!!

My 1111 currently remains a safe queen until my NMFBM is finished/delivered and I can decide if I want to keep the 1111. It IS the Yard's FBM after all...

With that said, IMO the 1111 feels like it has a MUCH heavier swing weight vs. the 1311. However, from a physics standpoint, it does not and the 1311 wins. Even though it is about 33% thicker than the 1311, the 1111's rotational moment of inertia is only about 80% of the 1311's despite being only 2" shorter (85%). Kinda surprising. (This assumes published weight specs of 19 oz. for the 1311, and 21.6 oz. for the 1111. I don't know if those are correct, and need to verify them for myself.)

Scrap, Please let me know the weights you get. The ones listed now SHOULD be pretty a pretty good representation of the weights.

I agree with you E/S, and the tan/camo clip-point model is my FAVORITE! It was a special run offered up at a Knob Creek show I believe, and I was able to buy one from messer 454 at the Busse Bladeforums buy/sell/trade forum.

Skunk, I weighed them tonight. I get 606 grams for my Sage/Tan 1111 (21 3/8 oz), and both of my 1311's come in at 528 grams (18 5/8 oz).

Close to the current published numbers, but 3/8 ounce light in both cases. I KNOW that my scale is accurate to less than a gram, FYI.

The 1111 is longer, heavier, and more brutal than the DF. Doesn't have the choil or humpback either. It is second only to the mighty MOAD. You need one!

THANKS SP.

PK, yessir! I really think if I could only have one knife, the 911 would have to be the guy. I think it's the ultimate in-between all-arounder. However, that might change after I do my test with an RMD tied to the end of an axe handle.

A 3/16" thick Regulator with a DogFather style handle would be good competition!

Wow this is so true !!!! My 1111 landed today it's a beast of a blade. Didn't really know what to expect, but I'm truly impressed. What a knife for the money, worth every penny IMHO ! Been waiting for these bad dogs to release and now I've got one !!!!!!!! Now I want another lol. Now I see what the hype is over here in the Yard ! So far love what I've scored 1111, Urban Reg, Mud Mutt, 411 all awesome !!!!!
