Scrapper 5 hands down. You cant beat the mudder handle, and I think it looks better too. I might be a little biased because it was my first Bussekin ![[Linked Image from i1226.photobucket.com]](http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee407/drbarnes/5e444c57.jpg)

I've never handled a 511, but, The S5 mudder handle looks like it be a little roomier. I like the blade shape and grind on the 511. Not much help, I know.

I prefer the SS5 in hand. I like both and have a "few" of each.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just because you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong.

The 511 blade shape is what wins it for me. I do prefer the other handle.
I sold my SS5s...

Someone needs to do a little head to head match up! I'm curious how they perform next to each other...
