French combo set no. 3 :) This nice set has a Valentine’s Day theme and consists of a purple/pink Classic (for her) and a blue Spartan (for him). Both knives have little hearts printed on the front and the back. “Elle et Lui” means “Her and Him” in French. The Victorinox shield and cross are …
Here is another “Nature Series” set, made for the French market. This set consists of a White Spartan and a Classic, both with an image of green grass on the front and the back. There is also a lime green Classic and Camper set.
