So far in this challenge, I've really missed having pliers in a MT as I'm used to carrying a Leatherman.  Maybe I needed a Workchamp.  :ahhh

I'm also having a hard time with the liner lock working the opposite way of every other liner lock I own.

IvanDrago day 9/30

Using saw, awl and knife I carved boat for my son from the thick piece of pine bark. He is 4 years old and did most of sawing, but I didn't take any photo of that. I was too absorbed not to let him cut himself ;)

Good job Dad!

Day 9

Stayed up late last night watching the news and drinking adult beverages so mildly hungover. I'm so glad I'm not watching Grandkids this morning.

Day 9

This wood is well aged white oak.  It is way too hard to cut with a pocket knife, but we all have to make sacrifices sometimes. :salute:  I made it about 3/4 of the way through it, before it broke off.

So this is day 10 of the 111mm Challenge.

A few weeks before the challenge started, I got an old-school 108mm Safari Hunter. The big curved blade on that turned into my favourite apple-eating blade. It's just fun lopping chunks off with it.
The 111mm gutting blade is serrated, meaning it's a better belt-cutter, but less ideal (I find) for apple munching. Still, it can be done - and I could of course use the main blade, which is non-serrated -  but I miss my 108mm knife quite a lot.
I also prefer the hefty "clack!" of the 108mm backsprings. I'm also thinking about how often (or not) I need a locking blade. The 108mm seems sufficiently solid without any locking mechanism.

All of which has jumpin'-jack-do-do to do with my photographic effort of the day. It was cold outside when I went out this morning. There is frost on the ground. It looks nice but I'm gonna have to invest in some gloves....

To illustrate the above paragraph, here are the hunting blades in my collection...
I'm a little unsure about the rules here, as you can tell by the way I have totally forgotten to write DAY # at the top of my posts - hopefully photographing the 108mm and the 74mm whopper don't disqualify me from the 111mm challenge.

Excellent pic.   :tu:
Don't worry about the rules, we're pretty relaxed about such things.
Even more so if you are going to take the time to share quality information with us, thank you.

I totally agree with you on the apple munching with the 108mm gutting blade. Although I prefer the serrated one over the non-serrated one.

The gutting blade on the 111mm has a very different grip than the 108mm one. When speaking about cutting apples, I prefer the 108mm over the 111mm  :D

Nothing, absolutely nothing, handles my apples like the Swiss ShArK. It is unprecedented  :ahhh



Sorry for spoiling this thread with the 108mm  :D

I'm certain that comparison photos are reasonably within the rules of the challenge as long as you only use the other knives for the photo and continue to use only the 111mm for actual tasks.  I hope that is the case because I was thinking of doing a comparison set myself.

Day 10

This photo illustrates why I chose the Outrider for this challenge.  I hate to be without scissors in my EDC.  In this case Victorinox also fitted the inline Phillips under the folded scissors as long as they had the room for it.  Although, it is a little irksome to have to open the scissors to get to the Phillips.  The Malaysian military version of the Outrider is also on my want list.

I don't know why they don't make these for people who aren't in the Malaysian military...! That thing has a fantastic bunch of tools.
But the regular Outrider is pretty cool too.

+1 on the MAK, very useful set of tools but not too bulky like the Workchamp.

 Using the locking cap lifter again. These clasp rust and stick all the time so it's a regular task for my Soldier.

Tool set is the same but the MAK is in camouflage and has the Malaysian crest.  The Outrider with a OHO blade would be awesome.  I'd like to see that as an option as it is with the Trekker.

Nearly the same - they lose the corkscrew in favour of a back side Phillips. So they have two Phillips drivers of differing sizes, which to me is a fantastic upgrade.

Speaking of corkscrews, I haven't used mine once so far this month... nor have I used the super-tiny screwdriver cunningly hidden in it. Overall I find it an odd decision by Victorinox - I know hunters like to plod around half plastered but generally they aren't drinking bottles of Merlot in the middle of the forest. A backside Phillips screwdriver would be more useful to me and easier to clean for them - presumably the whole knife gets kind of yucky when its used for its intended purpose.

Traditional European hunting folders have three blades - a plain blade, a gutting blade (whereas US knives usually have a gutting hook) and a saw, and in addtion to these a corkscrew and a bottle opener on the saw blade. It would make more sense to have a Phillips instead of the corkscrew, like a soldier's knife, to disassemble/reassemble a gun. But hey, tradition! In the picture: a traditional hunting knife by Hartkopf. (Not mine  :().
