108 mm Badge request
on: February 03, 2019, 05:58:27 PM
This oddball format is still, forty years later, quite interesting and has its share of dedicated followers.
Furthermore, it is not dead :
  • There are a couple of modders, guys who re-mold scales out of resin,
  • A whole batch of GAKs and Troopers is going through IBACH at this very moment to be refurbished, cause yes, they still do have SOME of the parts.
  • Skilled craftsmen make custom sheaths or fancy scales out of just about anything

Unfortunately, I started too late to obtain a Stag Hunter or a Walther or a Fireman at a reasonable price or any price,
but there is still a lot left to collect if one concentrates on the different versions.

That is one awesome collection of 108mm!  :hatsoff:
thanks Glenfiddich - coming from you, it is quite a compliment.
featured on the pic are the usual "reds" : solo, solo plus, pathfinder, Safari, Hunter. Looking for a Fireman
amongst the "greens", I try to collect the tang stamps variations.
Four of them : four lines, four lines large V, three lines, two lines (pics later on)
I got a couple of Adlers, because the story of this factory is interesting, and because they used Victorinox parts
Also featured is a Herbertz, because I love the neutral medallion sans german eagle.
and of course, my pride and joy, my custom Adler with fancy black and white scales courtesy of fellow member Grenboerg

Nope, it is a C.J. Herbertz, respectable german Solingen maker. Finish is different, quality of the materials is different. Looks cheaper.

Four of them : four lines, four lines large V, three lines, two lines (pics later on)
sorry for the lousy pic, they shine so much they are impossible to shoot properly in artificial light but you get the idea.....
left to right : 4 lines large V, 4 lines normal v, 3 lines, and the rare two-liner.

I think a 108mm on a dangler would be a great companion to a 58mm on a keychain.  I'll have to look for one of these gems. At 6'4", I wonder if a 1008mm in my hand,  would feel like a 91mm does to "normal" people...

Mizedog, I'm 6'2"+ and I feel much more comfortable with a 108 that with an alox 93 or anything smaller.
Since my interest for that frame format was rekindled, I reckon it is the perfect balance of no-frills matter-of-fact design,
ruggedness, usability, and smaller bulk than a 111 or 130. works for me. On top of that the GAK is built like a tank and dirt cheap. Amazing value.
Mizedog, I DO NOT recommend a 1008 (pun intended)

I have never seen a Herbertz GAK before.  I know Robert Klaas/Kissing Crane did as well (they also offered the fixed blade GAK utility knife), and it was even sold here in a box, but I have never seen one offered for sale.  I guess, in part because they don't have a name on the tang stamp, just the pair of kissing cranes as typical.  Some KCs don't even have a tang stamp.

I have pictures somewhere of two different Herbertz tang stamps on GAKS.

I knew you'd know!
There is this guy, somewhere in the former russian block, who makes tremendous leather pouches for the 108's.
Pretty much the colour you want, the thickness you want, and the embossed brand you want. Thick leather.
Sure thing, there are plenty of skilled leather craftsmen in the States, but what this russian guy makes worked for me.
