No Nail Nicks - Standard

[ICanFixThat]

Here are a couple of large Victorinox Pruner knives that can be seen in resent catalogs.  As shown in the catalog they do not come with nail-nicks.  There is a lot of exposed material that one can pinch the blade and open it.  I'd actually like a nail-nick it would be helpful, but they have such strong strings it could be they wanted to reduce the number of people that would break their nails on them and thus maybe be unhappy with the knife.

these must be heavy duty knives, would be ok with nailnicks

I've been looking at the Pruners in the catalog but didn't notice the lack of nail nicks

Do you know if the wood scaled ones have the nail nick or not?

I have a new (as in unused) one with nail nick. Brass liners and very thick hardwood handles. Very solid knife, I like it. Personally I prefer to open it using the nail nick, although it works well to be opened without as well.

The larger Pruners with 'hour-glass' handles don't have nail nicks; the smaller ones with curved handles do.

Like Karl said;  Said in a different way;

I think the 120mm Knives do not have the nick and anything smaller does.  I posted this pic of a 110mm pruner a while back and it has the nick.  Going by the 2011 catalog I'd say 1.96xx, 1.97xx and 1.99xx models would not have the Nick even in their wood handled versions.  These are all listed as 120mm knives.  Of course earlier versions might vary.
