The pins on side locking 111 mm knives and 91 mm knives are both 2.5 mm, and the small tools are the same, so really no surprise the prying performance is pretty much identical. Similarly with liner locking 111 mm and 93 mm, they both have 3.0 mm pins which give a 44% larger cross section, as well as steel liners and thicker aluminium, respectively. And thicker tools, of course.(I know you know, Lynn, I just felt it was relevant to the thread. )Also:

I think the OHO versions are just WAY more common around here. I've never seen a non-OHO trekker available in stores here. It's not like i couldn't order one online, just never have, and I don't recall seeing any (or at least many) on ebay.I'm sure the non-OHO versions are more common where locking and OHO features together are frowned upon (or straight up illegal).
.........Why would I favor this over something like the Trekker/2008 Soldier? Mainly weight. At 103g (3.63oz) it has nearly identical function, at a much lighter weight. The benefit of the one hand opening function is offset by the discomfort in prolonged use of the saw caused by the OHO blade 'bump'........
well Lynn after finally reading this I can only say that I love this review and test
