opinion on 'one handed' SAKs

FordRanger said:
I love mine! Its a great knife, everybody says "outdoors knife" but I like how big and sturdy the tools are on them, for me its great any time! I need to get the pocket clip scales for it, but for now I just pull it out by the lanyard or carry it in a generic belt sheath. I'd like a Trekker with pliers, but it would make it much thicker so I'm willing to forgive it on that note. The linerlock makes it a much safer feeling knife, not that I've ever had a blade close on me while being stupid.. :rolleyes: Also it does close one handed, even if it is a little backwards. The bottle opener on the Trekker locks too, which means it won't close while prying/turning screws.

Overall they're great knives. Absolutely no complaints.

Thanks! This saves me the trouble of writing the exact same comment. :thumbup:
 
are the OH blades any different than the standard SAK baldes on the same model? Specifically, I'm looking at the Trekker with 3 versions - standard SAK blade, OH serrated, OH smooth. Right now, I don't think I need a OH as this would be a backup when I'm carrying a belt knife.

in the three versions of the trekker, or any other OH SAKs, are there any differences in blade properties other than the thumb hole or partial serrations?
 
Hope you enjoy your 111mm SAK. Which one did you end up picking up? I very much like the Trekkers but they are a tad thick for pocket carry for me. The fine saw has big appeal to outdoors folks. I am torn between the regular version and he one-handed version as I really don't ever use it "one handed", but it certainly is easier to finger squeeze and open. The one thing I don't generally like is the liner locks made by Vic (or anyone for that matter). I find them to be inconvenient to close and the side lock versions are much easier to close. They say that the side locks aren't as strong as the liner locks, but I have not found them to be a problem.
