Recently high quality scrap has been tough to come by. Scrap Yard delivers the highest performance to price ratio in the business. A key component is the availability to utilize high quality scrap steel.
With this challenge, I am announcing that the SYKCO 711 is going away...early retirement if you will. I suspect that the knives I have on hand may last for a week…maybe two if we are lucky. When these are gone, they are gone.
If you have ever thought about getting a SYKCO 711 you might want to make a move on this stoic blade.
I will continue to build the highest performing knives at the lowest possible price. The SYKCO 711 is giving up its career so others may continue. I salute the honor of this move and encourage you to recognize an icon that has graced our Yard

Brethren, if you are thinking about a 7-11, do it now while you can. It is a great knife; I have a couple of them myself.

Sorry to see it go.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the release of the Ratweiler LE.

This is a blade I can get behind--a quality blade at a reasonable price. Not quite as nice as the SOD (man that is a sweet little chopper that acts like a much bigger blade) but serviceable Neither blade will be leaving my service If you don't have one, get one. Unless you are prepared to drop more coin on an SOD, Camp Tramp, Chopweiller or Ratweiller, you will be hard pressed to find a better camp knife--certainly not one for the price.

My favorite Scrapper so far. I agree completely! I really like this for my "one knife" outings.

I loved my sod so with it gone i can see this as a good option. Though i liked my chopwieler even more. They do make good big blades without going into the huge size. I prefer the huge blades but realistically it is this size of blade i use most.
I just got the 1111 and i have been on the look out for a 1311. That is a lot of dough for one month so i might pass on this, maybe...

Of all the knives in the '11 series, I am surprised to this one go.  IMO the 711 is the top choice from that series, and a knife that will stay with me always. Killer campknife
