111mm collection is growing

I'm up to 8 111mm tools now. From left to right Workchamp (oddball - one less liner and no long Phillips. Can't find a part number to match up to this so far), Workchamp (normal version), Outrider, Hercules, Trekker, Rescue Tool, '11 Soldier, and a blacked out '17 US Soldier.
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. However... there is a dead guy here with a Bic in his hand and a Samurai walking away.

That's a very nice collection you have there.
Your picture made me realize something
The OHO blade would be easier to operate if it occupied the right-most position where the opening layer is... especially in the case of the OHO Nomad where it's right at the other edge.
And now I want a US Soldier!

I do love the 111mm. Between my Soldiers, the BYSAK won the honor in the Soldier Challenge. Next year will be the 111mm chance.
Nice collection you have going there!

Nice expansion Craftsman!
I’ve been trying hard not to do the same as I only have Rescue Tools so far. But that US/blackout is already in the list...just not sure if I want one or two.
Forgot I have the Garant too.
Maybe I’m more on the edge of yet another slippery slope than I realized!

This is me. I love the 111 mm SAKs and they're so dang useful. I used to have one or two but hadn't paid much attention to them. Now I bet I have 10 or more.
Nice set you have accumulated, Craftsman!

Thanks everyone! I've gotten used to the OHO out of necessity at times when I only had one free hand hanging off the side of a utility pole. I've found the trick is to choke up on the knife with your index finger (and sometimes even start off with your middle knuckle over the top edge) and start the thumb in the top of the circle as you open it so it's closest to the knife when I'm done. When I close 'em I just put the spine of the blade against my leg while holding the liner lock in (usually end up spinning it counterclockwise at the same time). It's second nature to me now. I'd love to have a Workchamp with the OHO, and the newer ones have the heavier duty screwdriver/cap opener now as well. For it to work for me, it would at least have to be in the second position from the right hand side though.
