I tried looking for the info but couldn't find it.

What are the sizes of the handles on these Scrapyard knives?

Is the 311 like the size of a DumpsterMutt.

Are the 511 & 711 the same .... like a Scrapper 6 ... or is the 511 smaller like the DumpsterMutt.

Thanks for any help!

Easiest way is to subtract blade length from OA length to validate handle length and compare.

The 511 has the 311 handle...which is about 4.5". The 711 has the larger dogfather handle...which is about 5".

Cool, thanks for that.

I only have experience with the DumpsterMutt and Scrapper 6.

Are the molds the same as the ones on the 311/511(DumpsterMutt) and the Dogfather(Scrapper 6)?

I cannot be 100%....but I would say that is correct, based on the local presumption that there are only two sizes of handles produced in that format. Again, not sure this has ever been verified by Dan or otherwise.

Also....that would exclude the original basic series handles, as those are approximate in length....but the mold is distinctly different.

For what it's worth, the 7-11 seems to be exactly the same as the handle on the Dogfather. The 5-11/3-11 is about 1/2" shorter. Don't have a DM or a S6 to compare to though.
