M1 or SR11

[Curtain Call]

Anyone with experience regarding these knives? I am interested in FOX cutlery and read up on these, being developed by a martial artist with experience in Philippino fighting styles. Just can't decide on which to obtain. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Do you have any reasons for this? Just wondering because the 2012 models are going to differ from the originals. So any gripes you have about the SR11 might be changed. Thanks for the response.

i personally prefer the slightly recurved drop point over the tanto which in my opinion is reason enough . it also has a flipper tang, although not very functional as it requires wrist flicking like the boker trance. the m1 also carries better in both tip up and down position. the sr11 with its banana shaped handle carries much better tip down in my pockets. i do however love the 3d type machined micarta scales on the sr11 which is why i bought it and own both.

Thanks. I have a weakness for recurves and tantos so I was caught between the two >_<
