Description
The Victorinox 108mm Trooper (also known as the Safari Trooper) is a robust, large Swiss Army Knife featuring durable nylon scales (red or olive green), a large blade, a combo tool with wood saw/can opener/screwdriver, reamer/awl, and a prominent corkscrew, designed as the civilian version of the German Army Knife (GAK) for the military, known for its intuitive tool layout opening in one direction and its distinct look compared to typical Victorinox models, making it a popular collector’s item.
Key Features:
Size: 108mm (larger than standard 91mm SAKs).
Scales: Red or Olive Drab (OD) green nylon, durable and grippy.
Tools:
Large blade.
Combination tool (saw, can opener, cap lifter/screwdriver).
Reamer/Awl (without sewing eye on some models).
5-turn Corkscrew (often with an aluminum liner).
Design: Built to German military specifications (GAK), with tools pivoting from the same end for intuitive use.
Markings: Features Victorinox tang stamps (e.g., “VICTORINOX SWITZERLAND STAINLESS ROSTFREI”) and often a blank space for personalization on civilian models.
History & Context:
German Army Knife (GAK): The Trooper is the civilian counterpart to the GAK, which Victorinox supplied to the German military.
Safari Series: The 108mm line was initially marketed as the “Safari Series” and was produced for a significant period, with models varying slightly.
Collector’s Item: The unique design, durable build, and military heritage make it a sought-after knife for collectors, especially the olive green Mauser-branded versions.
