   Hi guys    I just ordered a victorinox outrider camo version model 55731 from amazon  , now I don't know what I will get! I just noticed on youtube  that the red version with the corkscrew has some kind of button on the back. smartknives.com and other sites don't say  if this 111m  has a locking main screwdriver or not. I can not find a picture of the back of this model. I thought I was getting a trekker with and extra scissors  and small philips screwdriver . Maybe I should just cancel the order.Does anybody know about this knife?

The Outrider, IIRC, is a sidelock 111mm, therefore the bottle opener won't lock.  With the linerlocks, such as the Trekker, both the main blade and bottle opener lock (and firmly, I might add <3).

With that said, you could always go with a Forester or a Trekker (OH or not for the big T), depending on if you want corkscrew or Phillips.  Either way, though, you could always get a Classic SD or Rambler to satisfy your scissor needs. :)

Thanks Sazabi.   If it is a sidelock I will cancel  the order. I'm still searching for that. The camo version is somewhat different model . It has a screwdriver instead of a corkscrew I may have to call amazon-if they even know!

You've noticed that, too, huh?  Yeah, I've seen conflicting pictures on the Outrider, myself. :/

The Outrider is worth having anyway. The scissors is a rare tool on a 111mm knife and the long reach Phillips Screwdriver is very useful.

I Called amazon. The order was already sent to shipping and could not be canceled. So...... I ordered the trekker with a straight main blade, black, camo not available in that model . I may end up with two knives instead of one. I think that part of the victorinox marketing plan from the beginning. Oh well..... I like sak knives. I have a of couple of blue farmer models and they are very nice . The amazon rep said I could return them for the cost of shipping if not happy.

Updated Wiki. I didn't know there was an Outrider with a Phillips.

Don't worry about that.

I'm sure you'll want to keep both anyway.

And a few more later down the road. XD
Got those frog legs.
