Swiss made or otherwise. Maybe there´s an old thread but we don´t yet have a club like the Dutch and the Irish.

Only 1 GAK in my collection - a Victorinox 108mm, early version (no match striker on the saw).

I was looking at the clubs for the German Army Knives just this morning and found nothing. And here you are! I will be on the side line watching and learning.  :popcorn:

I know, but there are 111mm GAKs too. And maybe others.

Well then, I would like to collect, but I have none...
Still looking for a (near) perfect Bundeswehr 108mm Victorinox, including green plastic pouch. And one of these knives with 'BUND' on them. There seems to be al lot of imitations around.

Are GAKs really used by the German Army or are these just SAKs with a fancy logo?

From SAKWiki:

(about the 108mm GAK)
The German Army Knife, or GAK, is a 108mm knife manufactured by Victorinox and was official issue to the German Army (Bundeswehr).

(about the 111mm GAK)
Victorinox was awarded an exclusive contract by the German military to manufacture a one handed opening knife, which contained all the features of the 108mm GAK, as a replacement for that knife (many manufacturers had made the 108mm GAK). Victorinox selected the Trekker model and adapted it to a one handed design.

So.... I wonder if it is bad that I swapped the scales from my GAK?  I still have them, they’re on my Centurion.

Does that make it look too much un-GAK-like?

I had swapped them out with the scales from my Centurion as it has the Swiss Bianco pocket clip installed. But the GAK scales do look much better.

Both the GAK and DAK scales are nice. I have both 111mm DAKs but still have to get a 111mm GAK.
