All this talk of the 85 lately got me looking at the two bladed version. It's not what I usually carry but it draws me because it is the closest modern production to my grandfather's antique Case.

Reading the dimensions does not really help. Is it comparable in the pocket to a Vic Pioneer? Anyone have any photos of it compared to a SAK? Not concerned so much about length as I am thickness and weight...

I may pull the trigger on this one, but it might not get much pocket time if it isn't comfortable.

I tend to live my life in Levi's 501s. I don't think I own any dress pants anymore...
 
I don't know how much help these will be. I haven't carried a SAK in about eighteen years, and I can't remember what any of the models are called.

My only Vic is a solo which is very thin. I also have this older scout knife that may serve as somewhat of a comparison. These two followed by three 85's; Forums knife, two blade and single blade.

It doesn't show too well in the photo, but the forum knife seems noticeably wider than the standard two blade version.
Hope this helps a bit
