108mm Victorinox
on: August 08, 2009, 05:19:43 AM
I wasn't going to post this photo. I feel like I am flooding these forums somewhat. But then, part of the fun is in taking photos and sharing them. So here it is.



I just got in yesterday, the Safari Trooper on the left.
A little Leatherman information.

I am starting to get into the 108's, looks like you need a Mauser.  Nice shots.

Funny that you would suggest that. I have one on its way along with a Safari Stag Hunter from different eBay sellers.

I love the 108s. There is something about their shape, size, and wonderfully strong back springs that I just like.

If you don't mind the limited tool load (the emphisis is very much on cutting) they really are a superb knife :)

Since I got the blade in decent shape, I almost always have my Aitor GAK with me when I'm out in the boonies.  It's just a good, solid knife.    It is really a shame they stopped making this line.

I agree, there is something very pleasing about 108mm style.  Just feels rock solid and dependable.
