What's special about them?
1) They can be pressed into service as a self-defense weapon, but somehow, they still don't seem as threatening as even a smaller Spyderco.
2) Victorinox's side lock is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering
3) Serrations at the tip > serrations at the base of the blade
4) Vic's stainless steel + long enough blade for food prep = easy to use and clean
5) Can be had with dual inline Phillips'!
6) Can be had with a locking screwdriver. (that's pretty unique for an MT that isn't plier-based)
7) Nice long saw
8) Ergonomic shape fills the palm, but isn't TOO big.
*********
My favorites are the One-hand Trekker NS, Skipper, and Workchamp.

1. It is large enough to have a substantial length blade and saw on it.
2. It is small enough to sit mostly unnoticed in a pocket.
3. It is the perfect size for a strong grip in my hand.
4. The one handed opening of the blade can be done with the left or right hand.
5. Blade shape works well for my uses.
6. Rounded blade tip makes it look more like a tool than a weapon.
7. Rounded blade tip works as a nail cleaner.
8. Saw handles anything that I can throw at it.
9. Locking screwdriver functionality.
10. Locking screwdriver very strong and effective as a prybar.
11. Extremely quick and efficient as a bottle opener.
12. Can opener screwdriver reach is better than expected.
13. Can opener effective at its base job of opening cans.
14. The Philips head screwdriver works with an impressive range of screws.
15. Reamer makes great circular holes in anything.
16. Tweezers useful at everything from splinters to hairs.
17. Toothpick solves all annoying day to day teeth issues.
18. Easy to clean and maintain.
19. It is possible to open every tool with one hand if needed.
20. Takes a thrashing, regularly, without complaint.
... and a nice pic of the Damascus!

I've got three (I had four. Pesky Thieves took my favourite. Still angry)
OHT, Helmsman, and..a red one? An Outrider I think.
None ever get carry time, they do not sit nicely in my pocket, and I do not find them comfortable in the hand.
the OHT sits in a box somewhere (like a disappointing child), the Helmsman in a drawer (too nice to use), the Outrider at least has potential for use, as it is in my emergency kit (a position it earned through being A. Red, and B. Having scissors)
I want to like them, I so really do (and I did kind of like my German Army knife, before someone needed it more than I did, apparently), but they just do not "work" for me.
Post by: Smaug on August 01, 2015, 11:06:39 AM
Nothing much.I agree there. To carry a < 4 layer one comfortably in the pocket though, you only need a belt hanger of some sort. I have a simple one with a clip on one end to go through the keyring of the SAK and a loop on the other end, to go around my belt. This lets it hang vertically in the pocket, with the weight on the belt instead of the pocket. MUCH more comfortable than just tossing it in there. Give it a try with your Trekker. I bet you'll like it a lot more.

and I do not find them comfortable in the hand.Now THIS one, I haven't heard before regarding 111mm SAKs, except when referring to using the saw on a OH Trekker, some people feel like the thumbhold lump on the blade wrecks the grip. I just put my finger through that hole while I'm sawing, and it actually gives extra purchase.
Quote
I want to like them, I so really doTry the pocket hanger trick.
A couple more ideas: The Helmsman makes a great one to keep in your bag. It is one of those big MTs that is well-complimented by a smaller one with a scissors. Big, serrated blade, inline #2 Phillips and pliers are not a common combination in a SAK. I broke mine out at dinner out the other night when all we had were butter knives and I felt the need for something properly sharp without fear of dulling it against the plate...
How about getting a belt pouch and carrying them that way? I've found the simple and inexpensive nylon/velcro Victorinox pouches to be VERY comfortable on the hip...
****
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when that big blade (esp. the side-locking type) gives that solid "CLICK" as it locks open, it never fails to give me an ear-to-ear smile. :D
Oh, did I mention the pocket hanger trick? It makes all the difference, Bro. :tu:

1. Large(er) blade, saw, file.
2. Larger grip area.
3. That re-assuring heft in your pocket.
4. The sound of the side lock (or liner lock) engaging with a BANG! and not just a meek click.
5. Locally, you can get a Workchamp for at least 30% lesser than a Swisstool. (If you're just after the tools in a Swisstool and not the pliers, this is a good deal)

111 never appealed to me for some reason. I now have a Wenger Hunter which I love, being big enough to be distinguished from 91mm SAKs. I wonder now that 130mm is a Victorinox line if it sells more or less compared to the 111.
I'm quite happy to skip the 111's too. I'm currently getting rid of all my SAKs over 91mm, but if I was going to keep one, it would be a 130 not a 111

So far the only 111 I have is my Soldier. But now I want a Hunter, Locksmith and maby a WorkChamp. It may be a mutation of the Alox pox it's gone 111 and I may have it! :facepalm:
I'd like to try out a Locksmith as well simply coz its toolset takes advantage of the 111mm size- bigger knife, longer file, longer saw. All in a liner lock package. That off course include the locking cap lifter end.

My understanding of the side lock is if the lock breaks the knife still functions as a slip joint. You only lose the locking ability so it works like any other pocket knife.

That is correct. It still functions as a slipjoint. The spring isn't super stiff, but it will not fold on it's own.

Not a fan of the OHO blade. It makes for an uncomfortable grip and the lock doesn't easily facilitate OHC. It also would have been nice to have a locking saw. In general, they are easily pocketable and the scales are great. I keep this guy in the truck for general ranch use. The blade itself is awesome.

As far as inline drivers are concerned, the small driver in a Hercules/Workchamp is just the same size as the one found in the Explorer (and Swisschamp).
It's the long, fine driver that's unique to the 111mm series that made me pick the Hercules versus say a Handyman/Ranger/Deluxe Tinker.....

The serrated blade is long enough to cut food, and foam. They have about the right tools on them for me. Well, almost! I think they'd make a nice frame base for my "Dream Machine", and they fit my "pinch" or my pinch is easy to construct for my OHT 3 layer. The one hand opening ain't bad either. They remind me of my Spyderco's, which have all gotten away from me. There are a few more tools I'd like on one, so Thale O'Mille, what do you want for your Outrider? email me @ Oclip@live.com. I would also like to find a Malay ATM SAk (111mm), if anyone knows of one. And one other thing I like; I think I can refit them with a Snap On #2 Phillips tip, and cut the scale in a straignt line, to the Tweezer hole, and put a longer, stronger tip in one. Yes, I'll change the pin, and add another side spring layer, so I can lock open, the T-driver Snap On Phillips tip (and the saw). Yet to be seen. Snap on Phillips and all their screwdrivers in general, are the best I've ever used as a professional mechanic, when I was one.
But mostly, They got.....Style.....:salute: Thanx, Oclip

The 85mm Delemont and 91mm standard Vics are superb knives, and their size can be a valued characteristic, especially the compactness of the Delemont Evolution, but they have limitations driven by their size. The 111mm offers ability to take on tasks not possible with the smaller blades and tools. Main blade locking is the common theme, which is only found on some of the Delemont Evolution (notably missing from the Evolution 23; wishing there were a S23 variant). They also liner lock the bottle opener with its large flat-tip screwdriver, a feature only found on the Delemont with its spring lock. Some offer one-hand deployment which can be very useful when you don't want to let go of something to deploy the cutting blade. The grips are ergonomic and textured, with dual density now offered on many. The Swiss, German and Dutch armies use their own variants of them because of their size and robustness. There's a lot to like about the 111mm . . .

in a package that's still feasible enough to carry in the front pocket (versus 130mm. I mean ever tried to pocket one of those?)

Was thinking last night that this is exactly what I want! It must happen! :)
Essentially a one handed trekker non-serrated that removes the saw and replaces it with scissors and an inline Philips! (Whether it then has two different Philips OR puts the corkscrew on the back, I don't mind!).
Ie a 3 layer with:
One handed non serrated liner lock blade
Scissors
Inline Philips
Can opener-screwdriver
Bottle opener-screwdriver with liner lock
Awl on back
Philips OR corkscrew on back
Toothpick and tweezers
Has anyone made one? :) I've seen a mod that seems to add scissors to the trekker; but then it's getting big... :)

The camo one is a Hunter not a Trekker. The slide lock 111mm saw is different from the line lock.
Is that a scale swap ?
I've never seen the Hunter offered in camouflage.
Thanks.

A RescueTool joined my humble 111mm SAK collection, though it was destined and delivered to my brother who is a nurse and red cross member and drives a lot. I hope he likes it but never needs the unique functions.
Now that is a nice gift :tu:

Who ever had it never used it so it's like new and advertising 111mm aren't very common so out of thousands of Trekkers this one is a little unique. For what I paid for it I'm not going to complain about AT&T having their logo on it but I'm not going to bitch if it rubs off either.

This is my Käsemesser upgrade from my old Hardwood Cheese model, which has the opener layer that I don't use (because I always have one in my pocket).

I think the metal file is the "premium" item for the 111mm. Based on the catalog, I don't see anyone below a Workchamp and Locksmith having a metal file. I would like something like that too -- something like a 91mm Mountaineer but in 111mm.

I also have a thing for those Garant scales and orange/ruler tweezers. Woulda been cool if it had orange headed fire steel instead of toothpick, and orange mini screwdriver with phillips head....3D printing isn't quite cheap enough yet :)
A cutout for the swisscard type nailfile would be ultra-nice. Seems like there would be room on this size of scale.
Some jealousy-inducing collections here. I really like the blue scales with compass rose design on all the fishing/boating models, but I'm not sure I'd use the nautical oriented tools.
My favorite is still that white one I saw on another thread, with a name like "Leia" or something.
Post by: SAK Guy on August 18, 2016, 07:04:27 AM
I want a WorkChamp. Love the small phillips and I like how they tuck tools underneath the scissors and pliers, making for less layers than equivalent 91mm knife. I could see the WorkChamp as my "you can only take one" wilderness SAK.

The good thing about the OH Trekker/ Forester /Soldier etc is they are slender and pocketable. Adding one more layer suddenly gives you a big fat knife that loses that portability.
The scissors on the Outrider are what you'd find on any 91mm SAK, while the long, narrow philips turns out to be too tiny for most uses. The stubby philips on the Atlas is a far more useful tool - again, you'll find the exact same tool many 91mm SAKs.
I love the size of the 111mm Saks - I love the OH blades, the serrations, the long saw etc. Having tried several I have concluded that for me, the trick is to have a 111mm SAK that does what 111mm SAKs do best (long blades!), and match it with a 91mm SAK that gives you the things you're missing - ie a Forester and an Explorer, for instance, or a Locksmith and Deluxe Tinker.
I suppose the other approach is to simply buy a Workchamp and a pouch - a drastic step that irreversibly ruins your chances of ever having sex...

I was looking at the 111mm models... but once it's that big, why not just jump straight to the 130mm knives? I was considering the Outrider, but if it's going to be a saddle-bag knife anyhow, the RangerWood 55 seems like a better deal. Bigger saw, bigger blade, sounds like a plan to me.

Although the Atlas is rather thick, it still can be carried as a pocket knife. Not really comfortable, I know, but it can be done!
In my opinion this may be the best all-round camping, bush craft and survival knife ever. Scissors are nice when you are around your home or at the office, but out there in the fields you probably are better off with small pliers when you have to apply force that is beyond the force that your bare, maybe wounded or frozen fingers can't deliver.
