This Main Blade Comparison did not work out as well as I had hoped, but maybe someone will find it useful.

Oh I don't know, that's actually quite good ICFT

Only thing it might need is a "label" for each blade saying 58mm, 74mm, 84mm, etc

What Bob said

If it had labels would be great

OK then, you got it. I removed the old one.

That's great - really nice visual guide

Thanks! Sometimes I'm too picky I guess. I'm glad I posted because it all could have ended up in the digital trash can.

I didn't realize the 2 84mm main blades were different, and I didn't realize the 93mm blade was so different compared to the 91mm even though I've looked at them a million times.

I should have included a OH and the 100mm soldier, but my little point & shoot met it's limit when it comes to desk photography with that many knives. I guess I'll do a Soldier only comparison one day.

Very helpful thank you

Very nice.

I have a suggestion. Maybe have some sort of length measurement on the bottom in the form of a ruler. The SAK lengths can be a bit deceiving as evidenced by the two different 84mm lengths. New people could get confused by that distinction.

Great job.

It really brings the lengths into perspective. I think perhaps it's worth incorporating into the wiki.

OK I added a ruler, I think it's accurate to about 1mm, which is probably more accurate than the alignment of the knives. The hand scale on the bottom before the ruler looks a bit funky now, but oh well. I'll post here before updating the Wiki Image this time.
