Looks like it might just be a new model of the 511.

Edit: Yep, according to this blog post its the new Morakniv Basic 511.

"This fall we will release a updated version of the old 510/511 as Morakniv Basic 511, still only 2mm thick blade but a robust version with a 3.2 mm thick blade will come to"

I got letter from Mora:

It's a new model MORAKNIV® BASIC 511 which will be available in Scandinavia in autumn 2014.
Sales in other markets will start later, exact dates are not confirmed yet.
 
Did you see the sheaths in the closeup? They look pretty slick! Looks like they'll have a button on them for doubling.
 
Nice I like the pro C & pro S model. I'll be picking a couple of these up.
 
I am pretty rough on those basic models because they are so dime a dozen, and I have a pile of them. It's nice to see them upgraded. I admit to being a little dismissive toward the basics because they are so inexpensive. But they are still a good knife for many of my needs.

Yeh, try a different model with a thicker blade, maybe companion.
 
The 510's are great, I picked up a bunch a few years ago, for dirt cheap, combined a holiday sale and a coupon with free shipping and a gift card I got as a rebate. In the end I paid only $10 out of my own pocket for 6 of them. My couponing mother would be proud. Glad to see they're coming back, hopefully the price stays low.
 
I got a couple of these knives now, the basic-511 and the pro-s (because those where in the store here in Norway). They are quite nice, new 511 is IMO a nice improvement over the old one, which I never really got used to. The all-plastic handle is so nice I`m not sure it`s worth the extra $$ to get the rubberized models, though they are wery nice indeed, and got a slightly different blade (not sure it`an "improvement", but different).

I was out metal detecting and I forgot my regular digging tools, My Leshe hand digger etc. I always carry one of these base Mora's, with a fero rod and fatwood taped to it, in the glove box. I didn't even feel the blade snap and I didn't feel that I was excessively rough with it. The square item was a 1929 Chauffeurs badge. A kind fellow on Bushcraft UK put these pictures up for me.
