Dan over on the Scrapyard forums clarified earlier that the 311 is going to be 3/16" thick, original 1/4" was just a mistake by the web guy. He also mentioned that he's pretty sure the Rodent 4 is also around 3/16" when he saw one.
I wonder if Eric can post some comparison pics next to the ratmandu and hrlm. Looks like a nice blade.
I will probably get the 711 but not 100% sure
hopefully not for a couple weeks, I need to give my credit card time to recoverWonder when they will start shipping the 4's?
