TNA happy Monday and thank you for your well made video. FYI I have liked and Subscribed to your channel, I am subscriber no.141.- good luck in growing the channel. The current liner lock Picnicker was formerly known as the Nomad, at one time both were in production together until 2017. I have 2 bought new in box slide lock original picnickers (one red & one black scaled) and I have 5 bought new liner lock Nomad/Picknickers - one with red scales, one on which I placed the orange/black rubberised grip scales that are normally is found on the Hunter XT grip , one on which I placed the Navy Cammo blue/black scales that are normally found on Skipper and 2 of the special model Nomad known as the Garant, the unique slate blue Plus scaled 111mm SAK made for the Hoffman tool company & marketed exclusively by them (albeit I bought my 2 new in box on eBay). Like yourself I prefer the slide lock version to the liner lock version but I do have all but the plain red liner lock one in my EDC rotation.

You can carry lock knives but you need to have a 'good reason', so you can carry a lock knife if you need it for work or you're going camping in the woods.
Would you mind how the authorities seized the locking-blade knife from you? Was it at an airport or a random check on the street? I ask this question because I have a bunch of locking Swiss Army Knives too. Thanks
It was at "the London dungeon", a tourist attraction. They have security at the door in many museums and other tourist attractions. looking in bags and searching on person. My knife never stood a chance 😅.
You missed one thing, if you squeeze the handle on the new model the Liner is uncomfortable in the hand. The new version is a bit more stable. Because of the same differences, I got two new ones of the old model in 2018, I also like the old version more, especially because of the weight difference
Agreed....prefer the older version.

Ah, ok. They said it was forbidden in the UK. Thanks.
I really like the slide lock of the older one. The Rucksack was my favorite.
I don't like it's heavier, but overall I like newer version better
I tried the Victorinox Outrider versions and agree, the older version is better and I sent the liner lock version back 👍🏻
interesting the weight difference is really big! It should not be that much

I'd rather new model it's more robust

Thank you for this
New one looks more like the soldier.
