We all love being a member of some Club. So, here we have Big Toys Club for 100 mm and up Victorinox and Wenger knifes.

Rules? Nothing but to show off, and talk about your Big Toys collection. Be very welcome to post as much pictures of your toys as you want.

I am very sure everyone would love hear how and when you use your knives. All good and bad things aswell.

Only the one right now, but I'm considering others.  I got it for hunting when I lived in Wyoming.  But I ended up moving shortly afterwards and haven't hunted since.

I really like how they integrated the hex bit driver in the handle on these.  It makes me wonder if a (hex bit / lanyard hole) could be integrated into the small knives like the 91mm.  Perhaps one that only had blades mounted from one end.

108mm... sold them all except for one Solo:



Red Jumpmaster:



OH Master, I quite liked those scales:



Trailmaster:



DAK 2010:



GAK:



Armee Suisse SAK (OHT with corkscrew):



Old DAKs:



I think I sold all of those 111mms (and more). But I still have that 108mm Solo so I'm still a member of the Big Toys Club 8)

The hex bit cutout is there on all the newRanger models, just that they don't have the scale cutouts for the bit. Probably as it only passes the first few layers and they thought there wouldn't be enough grip with more torque and you would damage it.

I do like the bigger saks especially 108s and usually edc one in my pocket or backpack, I find the longer blade more usefull at work and on the farm plus there a good size in the hand.

I'm going to set some time aside to takes pictures of some of my "Big Toys".

According to my records I have 30 of these tools now.

All old pics...I need to update.


Here's most of my 108's.

Troopers and GAKs  (early group shot, probably less than half of current).



Trooper, Pathfinder, Solo Plus and Solo.



More Troopers and a GAK.



The 108's are a neglected area of my collection. I really need to get a current group shot



Some of my 111's.

Rucksack


Nomad


Forester


Early Hunter


Hercules (The top of the food chain 111mm IMO. Mine stay stored in bad weather/survival kits etc)



One Hand Trekker (Very capable knives. Mine stay in my Emergency/Wildfire bags)



For scale next to a 91mm Climber.


Also various thin ones like Cowboys (Philips) and Alpineers (Corkscrew)...nice to slip in a pocket.(Group pic)



The Liner Lock models have heavier (and locking) screwdrivers....


111mm's have great saws



One big Wenger...

Reminds me of a silly book about the adventures of Lieutenant Vic... seriously, it exists, it's a promotional item from Victorinox. I had one when I was young. I even started a thread about it here on MTo but given the small number of replies I think most of you thought I was going crazy :facepalm:
