Like? OK, it's more than just like. My Trailmaster Nero (OHT) in semi-retirement as a work knife and it's replacement Master RT with corkscrew, sewing eye awl, and it's latest scales are a more traditional SAK red with T&T, and red lanyard on 58 mm ring. Never was a big fan of the slide lock models, but the OH linerlocks are the best.  :tu: I still prefer the 91's for pocket carry and the Spirit gets a fair amount of pouch time, but for a heavy duty SAK, the 111's are my favorites so far, they are just so well engineered.  :)
Another Winner!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

In fact, if any of the older(SOSAK) members remember the "Fireman" Lockblade SAK that starred in "THE PUB SAGA".  Me thinks I'll start squirrelling up the funds for the "Cheese Inspector".  And revisit THE PUB!! :whistle: :whistle:

PS- Anybody got a link to THE PUB SAGA.  It would be appreciated if you can link it to this thread  :salute:

1st, no photos sorry. As a leftie I'm partial to the slide lock over the liner lock. That being said I EDC a Rucksack since 91. Approx 3yrs ago I replaced my 2nd Ruck with a Hunter for EDC. I wanted to try out the combo tool and the gutting rescue blade. Not sure yet, I may go back to Ruck.
As a user, more than collector, I usually only buy knives I need. Occasionally I discover new needs though :) Both the OHT and the Rescue are on my list, as well as the Soldier.

It is interesting that you would say that, since many people consider the 111 mm liner lock a "left-handed" lock.  (While I understand what is meant by this, I've never had an issue with the lock in spite of being right-handed.)

For some reason, the lock throws alot of people for a loop :think:

I love 111mm SAKs.  I prefer the slide lock over the liner lock, mostly because they weigh a little less than their counterparts and because the slide lock is what I'm more used to as I've owned those since I was a teenager.  I'll try to post pics later, but off the top of my head I own the following.

Alpineer
Cowboy
Hunter
Nomad  with Slide Lock (or plain edge Picnicker, however you want to classify it)
Fireman with Slide Lock
Sentinel w/pocket clip
One Hand Trailmaster
One Hand Parachutist
Parachutist (without one hand hole)
and I recently acquired an Atlas second hand that is in the mail as we speak.

Next on my list is probably a Hercules or a Workchamp.
Yes that's true, but I've been out to sea a long time.

That is a great review.  As you said, he is someone who really uses his tools.  That means a lot to me in a review and few reviewers seem to be real users.  For the record, cutting up cardboard in your yard and stabbing inanimate objects doesn't count as use for me even though it can provide some decent data.
