My only 111 mm. It gets more hard use than any other SAK in my inventory. Great knife!

I met some guys out here that were training in the area and were members of the German Air Force and that is what they really carry.Bundeswehr Taschenmesser, neues Modell (GAK 2003)
I like the eagle.

One-Hand Nomad, Victorinox Grip collection
I bought one as an $18 closeout. The dual-density scales are injection molded polycaprolactam which is called Polyamide 6 in Europe and Nylon 6 in the USA. Unlike hard nylon, Nylon 6 has a little "give" and it stresses your carpal tendon less when you grip down hard. The scales have inserts of black thermoplastic polyurethane to give a stickier grip when the knife is wet. They work as intended and they are springier than Nylon 6.
Soldatenmesser 08 has dual-density scales. Very nice!

Does anyone know when the first 111mm Vic SAKs were introduced? (Reviving this old thread.) Since I carry the Adventurer (2-layer enlarged Tinker), I was trying to figure just when the 111mm models were introduced. Can't remember how long its been since I started carrying the Adventurer, but it certainly has been more than 10 years. I carried a Tinker in the 80's and believe I switched over to the 111mm size in the 1990's.
