It wouldn't hurt to contact Renee, but it sounds like you two should be good to go.

I have to admit, I am really fascinated by this whole discussion as to why the 711 was so much more popular than the 911 in these various circles. I say this because I feel like the 911 is the ultimate "if I could have only one main foundation knife" to have a system to build around but I am not in the military and this is based only on my own field tests in the sticks. Yes my 1311 is brutal on brush BUT the 911 still does a great job and is much more nimble and easy to wield for lesser tasks.
I would really enjoy hearing from any of our boys in harms way as to why the 711 is preferred, but I guess this will not be possible and that is a shame.

I would suspect that it's the size and weight difference that makes the 7-11 more popular with our troops. Keep in mind that the Grunts particularly carry a LOT of gear!

I think the 711's popularity: stems from a Kabar fighting knife. its the general purpose do everything knife.

Oh and the 911 as a survival style knife is my idea of perfect. I pair my go bag 911 with a bahco laplander and Mora Bushcraft Black as of now. That system weighs nothing for its capability.

I'm sure the Busse crew was all busy prepping for Knob Creek; give Renee a chance. She's really great!
