Hmmmm OK

And how would that apply to the 58s - with their two - full, front and back layers of tools  ???
... And tools that have either one or two springs   ???
Just about all the others have a 1:1 relationship from spring to tool to layer :think:

@ Whoey - Thanks - It all seems to be OK  - At least so far :tu:

I think the page hit counter is still not working though !! Or is that a major version change / upgrade - Or maybe just no-one is visiting the Delémont pages :(   !!


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
@  Everyone

I named the Delemont pages eg  "Delémont Evolution 17" -  Or such like  -  ie:  "Delémont xxx nnn"

I just noticed that, in a Google search, the Wiki pages do not come up near the top of the list  if you search for eg "Victorinox Evolution 17"  
They do if you search for  "Delémont Evolution 17"

Do you think we need to rename all  the pages to  "Victorinox Delémont xxx nnn"   - So that they come up in searches !!  ???

Hi there!
Could someone please implement on the wiki, under the Wenger "series" page, what I wrote years ago about the Patagonian Expedtion Race series?
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=57194.0
I came across that old topic recently, and I think it would be bad to have all that information lost, since I spent quite some time researching.
I would had done myself, but I stopped editing the wiki years ago, and I don't remember anything about it

Looking at the wiki, there's a number of modules that may have changed and need to be looked at. I'm not overly sure how the wiki is setup, I've only been upgrading the core software, not actually using it (I have plenty of other tasks to chase up). Also we've upgraded the software through many versions which might explain some of the breakage. As usual searching for help on Tikiwiki's site is increasing frustration over the confusion of using tikiwiki itself.

Any ways, the bottom line here is, I don't know enough about tikiwiki itself to actually help out with any encountered problems. I've got a full plate of other fish to fry at the moment, but obviously if there is something I can do that will fix it, I'm more than happy to do it.

I think the "Victorinox Delémont xxx nnn"   is a good idea. It reflects the fact that those knives, although not originally from Victorinox, are now being made by them. I've seen some sites and they separate both collections, too.

DO IT ! ! !

Yes I saw you were an editor    :)    :o   

Why don't you finish off the 85mm Delemonts - There's about 5 or 6 still to do - And a reasonably straightforward  job - But significant
Copy one of the other 85mm pages and edit away. The main 85mm series page is all there - Ready and waiting

I just took the pics from the Vic website - You need to upload them first

We had some very detailed discussion about what to do about the switch to 100% liner locking models for the 111mm range at the top of the previous page.

Well I had a go at updating the Forester and Rucksack models with those changes, - along the lines of my suggestions, of course:  :o   ;)

- The SAAMS site we link to in the page has an image - But does not say who owns it - Although I almost consider SAAMS site to be part of us !

Thanks for that JM - The missing  pic has been uploaded - So we are now 100%

In 2017 Vic completely revised their 111mm product line - Many, many models were retired, renamed, or converted
Well all the changes are now reflected in the Wiki and I think I can say that every single 111mm page has been updated in some way or other

Thanks to Leaf for letting us know about the changes and doing all the legwork around what had happened.
And for providing so many great pictures as always

Let us know of any feedback, comments, omissions, errors etc

Hey and can anyone tell us please when the 111mm family first came on the market? ???
I am thinking the 70s or 80s - We should really have that date in the Wiki

Thank you, Ralph for your great enormous work!
You're a real giant! :)


I will update some 111-mm models' pages with new pictures (2017 liner-lock models) in the nearest time.
Regarding born-date of this family.. I suppose - early 80s (but I'm not sure for 100%)


Cheers,
Alex

Hi Knights,
I have a proposal for y'awl to consider.

When you go into the layer or main size pages of the WIki - ie you click on a hyperlink from the menu on the right handside (eg You click on the '130mm 5' button )
.....The next sceen that pops up is a blank grey screen - With the regular index down the right hand side, and the Layer Index (which repeats the right hand side index !  :-\ ) down the left hand side
What you then need to do is page down to get to the info you want
- For me this is not very user friendly and a bit of a pain   :pok:

I have a proposal to fix this   :cheers:
We could change the layer index from being presented vertically, as now,  to be presented horizontally
If we did this, you would get to the information you need on the first screen that is presented - And we don't loose the layer index - as it will still be there in a re-arranged format.

I have not changed a whole page - But I have constructed a sample of what the new layer index could look like at the bottom of this page:
http://sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+111mm+5+Layer+Models
Just page down to see it - I am proposoing that the 'Layer Index' section at the bottom replaces the one you see at the top - For all Wiki layer and size pages

In the proposed new index - The '5' looks a bit lonely and odd at the moment (it is copied from the 'vertical' list)
- I think going forward - We would leave the icon for the page you are on blank - or just use the full list with all hyperlinks every time - Thoughts ?

Whaddya awl think ....  ???  -  To me it's a no brainer  ;)  - But it will change the look of the Wiki
Please let me know your thoughts on whether we should do this  :think:

:salute: Huntsman

PS. LeaF - Thanks for your comments above -  :tu:   -     PM inbound about that other topic we are discussing

My only hesitation was about the look on a mobile. If it's OK, I'd say Yup! Got more info in a smaller space. That's awlways good.

:hatsoff:

Thanks for the feedback guys - really good to know about the mobile - Good thinking !

Nice screen shot JM
We don't have any pages for 6,7,8  layers etc - There is just the + page, eg as you see in this example, when there are 6 and above layers - So it will all fit on the screen just like you show !

I will make the change fully for the 91mm: all, 1  and 3 layer pages  in the next 24hrs or so - To see how it looks - We can always revert if we don't like it or it does not work  !!
I will pop a quick note here when I have done it

Check it out..

One thing I found is that I use the links more in this new format - Which I guess is a good thing?    :tu:
Maybe they are easier to use, as well as being more compact?  ???

Another related knife is the Victorinox Artisan, which is nearly exact.
It's not linked in the related knives though.

So is the Delémont Evolution 18   :o

So I decided that the 111mm liner and slide lock model comparison matrices needed updating for the 2017 changes.
Unfortunately for me (as Wiki/Tiki tables are a nightmare - especially if you change the column order which of course I did !!  :crash:) I also thought the main table needed restructuring to make it more usable  ... Basically - condensed (so you an see it all on one page) and in layer model order.

This is done now:
http://sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+111mm+Slide+Lock+Models
As always: feedback, comments, requests etc etc very welcome.

I can't show you the old version - But you can look at the Liner lock table to get some idea of what is was like:
http://sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+111mm+Liner+Lock+Models

When I recover I guess I'll get onto that one too  :cry:
