Haha, not only can Dan make knives, he also knows how to sell them. Check out this sales pitch copied from the 1111 info page.
Born from the shadow cast by the SYKCO 1311, this newcomer to the Yard of Scrap is so bad-to-the-bone strong that no single person can swing this mighty blade and not feel the strength of its spirit.
The howls that emanated from the Yard over the need for a heavier duty blade have not gone unanswered. The need for chopping of things once thought to be anchored with unrelenting life forces will now give way to the power and majesty of this blade. Sporting more blade forward weight, overall heft, and a lower center of gravity, the new 1111 brings an endless supply of clean, fly-away chopping to the party. Twisted knots and angry gnarls that wish to impede its function are no match for the quarter inch thick SR-101.
The Commander and Chief of Chopzonia, a small psychotic community, located just West of the Hogdom Compound, has declared The SYKCO 1111 as it’s Secretary of Fragment Fractification, in other words it is the "Supreme Head of Chip Making".
Having debuted at Blade Show 2013, ScrapYard Knives is now pleased to bring you the SYKCO 1111. Priced at $219.95 the SYKCO 1111 continues the tradition of delivering the best price to performance ratio in the market. If you have the need to chop the soul out of the most stubborn of trees and brambles there is no better choice than to grab the 1111 and release it upon your foe. For those whose idea of backing down means adding ice to their bourbon, this is the blade you've been dreaming of. . . . welcome home!
