What do you think guys. Is a 1311 a fair trade for

Well a guy offered to trade me a new b8LE with buy brown sheath for a new in used 1311. I like the b8 I'm using this week from a Facebook group pass around. I just don't know if I can bring myself to part with one of my 2 1311s... I have 2 battle grade ASHs ordered so I'm just not sure...

Grab the B8 and RUN !!!!!

Well, I ended up trading my 1311 away for a Rodentsolution Trailpoint.
To me, that was a fair trade, since my 1311 didn't get the attention it needed.
Also; the 1311 was on the long side of my needs. Now my recently acquired MountainMandu and BWM fill the void, left by the 1311.

What was the original price of the b8?

I'm not positive, but I believe it was sold for $258.00.

Ok thanks Tom. I'm thinking that if I do this I might be able to snag another big chopper at knob creek.

I think the B8 was closer to 300, I have to check my invoice. Add $45 for the Bb Sheath.

The B-8 LE's were $317 if you bought two or more, single they were $327.

Dang guess I would be gaining. Idk what the current market price for a 1311 is.

A brand new 1311 in the exchange is up for $275. I paid $240 new for my in 2013.

I'd say $275 is probably a bit steep, more like $250 IMO.

That being said, I'd definitely trade that bad boy for the B8 w/ BB

I believe the B8 is a fair trade. You may never get your hands on another 1311 though. That is unless the fifteen guys that bought about twenty 1311s each ever decide to sell a few.

He's correct; I was thinking of the B-8 CG at Blade show.

^--- +1 to this. The 1311's don't seem to be popping up in the exchange any where near the way they did. IMHO, If you can live with only one 1311 it is a good trade.

Seriously though, you better trade him before he changes his mind.

INFI for SR-101 is always hard to pass up….

Haha yeah. It's tough I still haven't decided.

As the commercial said, I could have had a B8!

That's a great deal!

A 1311 for B8 trade? Thats a good trade for you and since you have two 1311's, you will still have one 1311 to use.

Talked to the guy a few days ago and he talked himself into keeping the b8...
Maybe a INFI ratmandu would be better for what I want it for.

That sucks he backed out on the deal, that was a fair trade for both of you.

Lol I don't see it as a back out. I changed my mind on him a weeks ago on my b10le pair. We both are happy so I see no loss

It will fill the void and THEN some!

The 13-11 is a GREAT knife! Of course, I DO have an extra B-8 CG.

I missed the mountainmandu. Sadly. Hope there will be one at knob creek.

The B8 is a great knife. It is one of my favorite go to blades. I was a bit disappointed in the length of the cutting edge though. My buddy's Sar 7 is just as long if not longer. I got over it pretty quick though and abused the heck out of it.
