I did it...

After wayy too much deliberation,, research, hemming and hawing..
I bought an 1111.
The Chophouse looks amazing,, but for reasons I decided I wanted my first(maybe only for now) dedicated chopper to have:
-Res C handle
-10" or more blade
-1/4" thick
-SR101 or INFI

The 1111 fit the bill.. CANT WAIT to use it!

Any Dogs out there have experience with one? What can I expect?
Ive heard it compared to the ASHBM dimension wise,, what about performance?

Congratulations!

rcb2000, with these specs:

1111
Blade length: 11
Blade thickness: .250
Blade height: 1.80
Overall Length: 16"
Blade Grind: Saber
Steel Type: SR101
Handle Type: Black Res-c

Weight: 21.4 oz.

It will be VERY close to the legendary Dog Father, a Chopper that is one of the GREATEST blades Dan has ever came out with. That being said, I don't think you will be unhappy with its chopping ability. Now carrying that piece of steel, well...

Have your wife carry it for you like a native bearer!

Tom, don't you want him alive long enough to enjoy his purchase!

I was just thinking about "equal rights for women". ..........................

I hadn't thought of it that way. Good thinking!

Gratz! aA LOT of us own a 1111;)

Hahahhaha what a thread to wake up to!
I can barely get her to carry my sunglasses in her purse,, much less a big chunk of Dans finest!
Carrying I'm not too worried about, I've been doing some long Virginia hikes with a Gransfors strapped to my pack,,which is right at two pounds.

I've loved every knife I've had from scrapyard (HDDD, Regulator),, I'm sure this one will not only win a place at the table,, but will probably smash the table in half for kindling!!

It's good to see a man happy with his knife!

Congrats, the 11-11 is a sweet blade

Awesome can't wait to see the pics!

We definitely need pics!

Howdy Ole Timer!

Whatchu talkin' bout' Willis??!!??

Nice score, that is the one large busse I have right now. Great blade

Will post pics as soon as it gets here I'm guessing Tuesday or Wednesday

Holy crap, holy crap,, holy crap!!!!!!!
Im at work so can't play with it too much but couldn't wait to unbox it.....
Its a BEAST!!!!!!
My hands are literally shaking with excitement!!!!

Congrats on your score!

Looking good.

Happy in her new home,,, got home too late to play in the yard,, will have to wait.
Absolutely could not be happier,, just perfect.
Not too heavy,, especially compared to that GFB.

Nice lookin load out.

Thanks!
Im honestly a minimalist,, so I try to keep it to one small/med/large....
With two kiddos,, theres never really any extra money



Theres a mora, a beater Kershaw,, and my first knife I made missing,, but you get the idea

Congrats on your 11-11.

Cant wait to see some user pics

Nice score indeed

Nice group!

Wont be any action shots for a few weeks,, just shipped her off to get fitted in some leather,,,
Nothing but the best for that beast!

Just got it back from sky at Patriot Leather
All I can say is WOW,,,, this is my first custom leather, and it is a work of functional art.
Wish I could say it will stay this pretty,, but that hunk of SR101 is going to be a user,, and get beat accordingly.
This combo is chestnut and green stitching.










Big thanks to Sky at Patriot Leather,, he is a great guy and super easy to work with.
Cheers!

Nice!

Very nice.

Beautiful.

Looks great, I'm excited to try that spring loaded opening strap for the Saw.

DUDE! That sheath is GORGEOUS!!!

Congrats!!!!!
