The 111 knives are great. I have recently become very fond of the Alpineer. Its comfortable handle, good size razor sharp locking blade and a lightwheigt but solid constuction, makes it a great EDC knife.

An Alpineer in an Alpine setting.LOL.

Good show!

111's are great work/outdoor knives, esp. the OHT and Master. It would be nice to see Vic develop this line further, maybe merge the OH models with some slide-lock features. :tu:

A couple of older hunter model 111"s.

The red scaled hunter has the back lock activated by the slider switch.

The black scaled hunter has the newer liner lock,which needs to be activated by your thumb.The opposite end of the same liner lock also locks the cap lifter/screw driver.

Only two slide locks for me, a PE Picnicker and an Adventurer. No pix, I'm at (shhh) "work."   :D

For some odd reason I like the slide locking mechanism but actually wish it was on the other side. The way it is seems left handed to me (no disparity towards lefties).

Workchamp XL.

Largest 111mm knife. It has one of every tool that Victorinox uses on their 111mm line.

Across from the combo opener tool, hidden behind the clip-point blade?

I think that is a Fireman.

You're correct.When I first saw this knife,it appeared that this knife had a better gutting blade than my current Vic Hunter with the smaller blade.Since that time, I adopted it as "my hunter" and have referred to as a hunter since then.

Good catch !

Me too...

But only got two:
  • Rucksack - Which I bought in Switzerland on a climbing holiday when I'd forgotten my Huntsman
  • Solder 12 - When I got the SAK collecting bug last year - Gotta have a Soldier eh?

When Vic merged the product lines this year - Shock Horror!! I was thinking that they should drop the 111 range.
Why? ...... My theory was: ' If you want a big knife - Then get a properly big knife - And just have the Ranger series. - Assuming that your big knife would be in a sheath or ruacksack/kit bag as opposed to a pocket.

However I am changing my mind a bit now - The 111s  are a very nice intemediary between the 91/93s and the Rangers. And the smaller 111s are still very pocketable - eg The ones above

And of course there is no way Vic would drop the 111s anyway  :D

Exactly, you don't drop the product line which has running government contracts. :)

Thanks for the pics Chako.
