The year of the beginning of manufacture Victorinox 111mm with locking blades

[Fronta]

Does anybody know the year of the beginning of manufacture of Victorinox 111 mm knives, such as Victorinox 111 mm liner-lock and slide-lock series?

Hi, Fronta.    I join a question.

I will remind - the first mention of them in catalogues is in the SAB Victorinox catalogue 1991 (slide-lock series):

Whether it is possible to consider as 1991 of the beginning of release? Or it was earlier?
Possibly, 111-th liner-lock were later.

I can't find all the information right now.

I think I remember it being narrowed down to 1986 or 1987. The Patent for the lock mechanism was filed in 1986.

Need to update the wiki.

ICanFixThat, thank you!

If there is any information on the beginning of release 111-th liner-lock, write, please.

I`m not absolutely sure but I think the 111mm DAK (Centurion) was the first Victorinox linerlock model. As far as I know it was developed for the dutch army in 1993/1994.
In 1994 it was introduced as the new DAK.

I have a 1987 Victorinox flier that shows the slide-lock knives.
