And the 511's handle just doesn't fit my hand <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> "Wroof! Wroof!" - George IV misterdog-muensterdog-monsterhog

Very light, compact, easy to sharpen, handle ergos, and tough as nails. I have the MO 511 camo version, but the black one is basically the same thing. Franco Unklfranco JYD #159
