Did anyone notice this?
https://www.victorinox.com/global/en/Swiss-Army-Knives/cms/swissarmyknives-main (https://www.victorinox.com/global/en/Swiss-Army-Knives/cms/swissarmyknives-main)
Under the top banner "Explore our Swiss Army Knives" is a photo where a white scaled 111mm SAK is partially visible.
Yet in their catalog I can't find any white scales options.
Was this ever a thing? Or is it something we can expect in the future?
-
Yep - That is definitely a white scaled 111mm SAK - Great spot
I have never heard of one either - But if one has ever been available someone here will know about it !!
And also if there is one to come !!
-
I've seen them but those were all advertizing SAKs with a company logo.
Strange that they would use one on their promotional images.
-
Well that definitely looks like a white 111mm... Did anyone else notice the old (oval) thumb hole?

At first I thought you were looking at a different image, but my picture got larger when I full-screened the page :facepalm:
This is the image I referred too:

I don't see a thumbhole. Isn't that the linerlock you see?
-
Here's a couple of white ones: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,70658.msg1425865.html#msg1425865

Oh, those are wonderful!
White really suites the 111mm.
Those white/black dual density scales are something else!

You’re right... :facepalm:

The Siemens ones that Karl posted? Those are cool. Must have been made specifically for Siemens.
-
Yes, the Siemens ones. Really cool!

Fooled me too
- Had to get out one of my 111mm to understand the pic
- It's a nick-opening blade and the 'hole' is the shadow of the top scale on the liner-lock !!! :think:
-
Or a very desaturated Rescuetool? Minus the window breaker :)
Probably not.

In 2018, at least 3 111-mm models (Forester, Outrider, Picknicker) were released for Russian market with 'unusual' color of scales, - green, blue and white.

Oh wow, that's amazing.
I'm going to see what it'll cost to import one. White scales really are nice!

LeaF,
Maybe this is a stupid question, but is the Russian Vic market the same as the Ukrainian Vic market? There are some tensions between the two countries (understatement of the year), so I can imagine that these are separate markets.

Unfortunately, they are not the same. In the past we were a part of one big country, but now - we're living in different ones with different markets.

I can't see the pic...

Only two I've seen was on a (slide-lock) Hercules for Leica and a (linerlock) Dual-Grip Nomad for Siemens. Guessing both were more or less exclusive.

White is part of the choice of color for 111mm advertising knives, not for the bi-material scales though so that Siemens example is probably a rare thing. https://victorinox.myassets.ch/fb/en/wa/index.html#56
I have a blue Nomad (or a Sentinel? I can't recall) which was an advertising knife which I sent to Vic for repair (the blade was a shadow of its former self). They replaced the front scale with ad by another blue one without the ad (both original scales were mildly damaged btw). So this may be a trick to use if one wants a fully white and non-advertising 111mm knife. Probably wouldn't work with the bi-material scales though.
Also with contacts at official Vic retailers, one might be able to just order the scales. I have heard that the headquarters have tightened the rules and will only sell you "special-colored" scales (as in, not in the store lineup/only on ad knives) to replace scales of a same color on a knife you own. How the stores apply this rule may vary... and you could walk in with a scale-less knife and say both white scales were broken and you want new white scales...

Hello !
Back to Base, just made two pics. Siltec logo not as small as I remembered it.
