Well , along with the knife I had ordered a sheath for a Scrapper 6 (which I suspect will fit my Basic 6) and a couple of T-shirts all to be packaged together (for a bit of postage savings) . I have also already got a sheath here that I bought for the 711 on that auction site , that will now not fit it properly either . I will buy the kinfe just the same and who knows , I MAY end up selling off my Basic 6 and keeping it , or keeping both . More than anything it's just a real buzz kill to now realize that I'm not getting what I thought I was .

Mike let's see if anyone else got theirs and measures out. Hopefully it's a fluke.
Good luck and for what it's worth, the 711 fits perfect in my kydex camp tramp sheath, no play or looseness.
Take care.

I have seen as much variation as 1/8 (and maybe a touch more) in a few knives, this might take care of the length part for you, but as far as the height from edge to spine I don't have a clue.

I measured mine today. It is dead on at 7 1/2 inches long, .252 inches thick and 1.609 inches wide.
Mike did a great job of sharpening it. It needs work on the sharpness of the curve to tip but the flat part of the blade is a sharp as any I have ever recieved from the factory.
I am looking forward to getting out and using it to see what it will do for me in the backcountry.

My two are 7.5" long x .258" & .262" thick x 1.610" & 1.645" wide. They both increase .015" & .020" towards the belly of the edge. One blade exhibits a higher grind line on the right side. Tough to tell with the coating. Manufacturing tolerances are to be expected at this price to performance ratio. Very happy with these knives, at this price point.

I don't have my SOD anymore but here are some weights from my notes.
SOD 17.2 oz
711 14.3 oz
scrapper 6 12.5 oz
Camp Tramp 14.4 oz
I like the 711. It feels like a pointy Camp Tramp!
