I was surprised in my knife searching recently to come across another Victorinox (SAK) knife in WOOD --- but it also a multi-tool. A very cool tool, but as you good Henry Folk may be tired of hearing from me, I love the wood handles!!
They are made from Swiss Walnut with some very nice coloration and wood patterns.Intro of my Forester Wood. This knife is what SAK considers a large folder at 111mm. One thing I learned is that with the larger 111mm-models, the main blade has a Liner-Lock. And on this model, the flathead screwdriver also locks. All told, there are 10 multi-tools in this model. And the name of "Forester" speaks plainly to the beautiful walnut wood handles.
So here is a brief picture show with some additional comments. Enjoy!
Victorinox Forester Wood -- 111mm Multi-Tool The saw is excellent, and very sharp! I've cut a wooden doll with it to make a brass casing removal rod...sometimes reloads swell in my derringer barrel, and the doll rod will help slide them out. Some of the Multi-Tools "on display." The two locking tools: large main blade and flat-head screwdriver. This inside view shows the angled rod that serves to lock both multi-tools at each end of the knife. Both Multi-Tools are marked at the lock release point. [/i][/b]
The last two photos highlight my favorite look of this Victorinox -- the wood handles. Notice the slightly lighter/darker colors on each side of the knife, and especially the grain lines running through the wood. I do have a black Victorinox sheath, in which this Forester fits perfectly. They make a good combo. It will be a great tool for a lot of years to come! Have a great day, Everyone.
