The second-generation came out in 1994, following the introduction of the Dutch Army Knife {DAK} in 1993, and featured a more robust liner-lock mechanism for the most demanding of tasks, in rescue and military operations. This family did not replace the slide-lock models rather introduced new models that were available alongside the originals.
Until 2008, all the models in the series used a Nylon synthetic handle, but since then some of the liner-lock models became available with dual-density injection moulded Polyamide (PME-6) synthetic handles. Also in that year in the Swiss Army’s Official Soldier's Knife became a 111mm liner-locking knife - with dual density scales. See image right.
For several years both liner and slide-lock models were produced. However in 2017 Victorinox completely revised their 111mm product line, and ceased production of the slide-lock models. Some slide and liner-lock models were retired, some models were renamed and some converted from slide to liner-lock. See links below and layer and individual pages for details.
