Victorinox Fireman, Slide Lock
on:
October 11, 2012, 01:11:11 AM
Here's a rare victorinox 111mm SAK.
This is a Victorinox Fireman (not one handed) in black nylon scales. This older one is new, and has the slide lock. Modern Firemans have the linerlock. For detailed tool descriptions, see below...
-Scales: The scales are black nylon, typical of 111mm SAKs. The tweezers are typical two-pin tweezers, and the toothpick is straight (doesn't have the tiny hook).
-Blade: The main blade is marked as follows on the nail nick side:
VICTORINOX
over
SWITZERLAND
over
STAINLESS
over
ROSTFREI
. The other side is marked
PATENTED
. The blade is very sharp.
-Saw: New, as it still has the "leaves" on the teeth that go away after the first use.
-Belt Cutter: This is between the blade and the saw. Very sharp.
-Can Opener: Standard Victorinox can opener / screwdriver.
-Bottle Opener: This is the bottle opener / screwdriver / wire stripper found on most 3-1/2" SAKs. This is not the larger, locking one found on most 111mm SAKs.
-Corkscrew: Standard victorinox four-turn, unfluted corkscrew.
-Reamer: Standard, has the sewing eye.
The box is included, but has wear around the two ends. The box and the insert tray are both marked
FIREMAN BLK, CYRK BOXED
above the model number
54867
. From what I found out, Cyrk Inc. was a promotional firm (where the CYRK on the box comes from) but the knife has no markings to indicate this.
The SAK itself is new. Never used, carried, sharpened, or modified in any way. I'm seeing values of $55-$70 for these retired models in good condition. Mine is new. My asking price, whether for sale or trade, is $60 shipped.
For sale, I don't have PayPal, so a money order will have to work.
For trade, I'm looking for a standard Fireman (with the linerlock and locking bottle opener) plus cash. If you don't have a Fireman, I'm also looking for a Dual Pro (not the Dual Pro X) or Hunter.

I got an E-mail asking the differences between the standard (linerlock) Fireman and the slide lock Fireman. Here they are...
-Scales. The standard Fireman has red handles, but is also available in black. The slide lock Fireman has black handles scales. Both come with a toothpick and tweezers. Neither has a hole for the straight pin. Both are nylon, not cellidor.
-Lock. The regular Fireman has the a linerlock, and both the blade and the bottle opener lock open. The slide lock Fireman uses the slide lock, and the only locking tool is the blade.
-Corkscrew: Both use the same four-turn, smooth corkscrew. Both have the corkscrew in the same place.
-Reamer. The linerlocking Fireman has an awl with no sewing eye. The slide lock Fireman has the awl with the sewing eye. Both awls are in the same spot.
-There is also a difference in the keyring attachment point. The regular Fireman uses an extended part of the liner (between the reamer and the backspring supporting the main blade) for the split ring point. The slide lock Fireman uses a part of the backspring (between the outer liner next to the corkscrew and the liner on the other side of the corkscrew) for the attachment point. In other words, the keyring attachment point is on opposite parts of the knife.
-Tool Layout. The Firemans have the same tools, but they're arranged differently. Starting from the Victorinox logo on the scale, here's the layout...
Standard Fireman:
Handle scale.
Liner.
The bottle opener / can opener share the first layer.
Linerlock.
Main blade.
Liner.
Belt Cutter.
Saw.
Liner.
Handle scale.
Slide lock Fireman:
Handle scale.
Liner.
The bottle opener / can opener share the first layer.
Liner. Saw. Belt cutter.
Liner. Main blade.
Liner.
Handle scale.
The slide lock Fireman also has all of the nail nicks facing the side with the logo on the handles, where the standard Fireman has all of the nails nicks, except for the belt cutter, facing this direction.
-Main Blade. The standard Fireman has a linerlocking blade. It stops halfway. The slide locking Fireman's blade is the same length and style, but doesn't have the half stop. Also, it locks open with the slide lock. Duh.
-Saw. The saws are exactly the same. They differ only in where they're placed on the tool.
-Belt Cutter. apart from the placement of the nail nick, they're exactly the same. Same shape, size, thickness, same number of serrations. They're placed in different spots on the SAK.
-Can opener. This is the standard Victorinox can opener / screwdriver found on 3-1/2" SAKs.
-Bottle Opener. The linerlocking Fireman uses the larger screwdriver / bottle opener / wire stripper that locks. It has a half stop. The slide lock Fireman uses the standard bottle opener / screwdriver / wire stripper found on 3-1/2" Victorinox SAKs. It doesn't lock, but it does have the half stop.
If there are any more questions, please let me know.
EDIT: I can't edit my original post, but I've updated what I'm looking for. Victorinox Hunter, One Handed Fireman, Dual Pro, or Wenger Ranger 57 (with corkscrew). Used is okay, but let me know what condition the tool is in. Trade value on the Fireman is $60 shipped.
