Nice knife.  I can see why you really like the 111mm.
It is! Can’t wait till you get yours.  :cheers:

It’s amazing how many SAK are kept in the vehicles and we forget about them.  :rofl:
The Rescue Tool is one of the nicer ones in my option.  :tu:

The Soldier model 2008. The new Soldier model comes with a hole in the blade for one hand opening. A requirement the German Army wanted in a knife to replace their current model. The model has some soft strips on it to help you keep a good grip on the knife.

I have the German Army version of that knife Ray.  It's my hiking and camping companion.  Do you know if Vic is discontinuing sales of the Army models?  I'd like to get the Swiss Army version.

I'm drawn to the new Soldier knife, but....and this is a big issue for me...I don't care for the serrations.

I guess I'm an OHT guy.   :dunno:

I have not heard anything in regards to the Soldiers. I would think that one is safe.
The German Army hummm... :like:  :tu:

I can go with a plain edge, but for the woods I would want the serrations. Then again, that’s why Victorinox makes so many different models!  :tu:

I have several OHTs and a Soldier, all with the serrated edge.
If you want the plain edge then go for the Forester. Although it has a corkscrew instead of a Phillips driver.
The Forester replaces the slide lock Rucksack model, another one of my favorites, there´s one in my backpack always.

I like my Rucksack for sure. I prefer the slide-lock better myself.  :tu:

Nice knife RR.

The textured grip something I really like about the 111mm knifes.  It is also one dislike I have of the 91mm standard cellidor scales.

Other than the Soft grip Tinker that would be it. I heard the soft grip is what is used on the Soldier.

The German Army Knife aka the GAK. This 111mm is the replacement of the 108mm GAK. Now, of all the different Soldier model 2008, I think the GAK is the best looking. The German Army eagle is one of the best markings period! While I only have one, I do plan to buy a backup asap.

Great that you’ve managed to get to the end of this challenge Rapidray! It’s been a great thread.  :like:

You’ve inspired me to do the same...I’m going to kick off on Friday. Will overlap the discontinued challenge that I’m doing in September, but I’m always up for carrying 2 SAKs!

As a little spin on the theme, I will step through each of the SAKs in the current 91mm range, as this has been my main collection focus.  :cheers:

I've always like that insignia as well.  I can't believe we're at 29 days already.  Well done and the time sure did fly.

91mm range only - now that would be a cool 30 days! I look forward to it.
