Victorinox Digital Camo Huntsman
This one has been on my wanted list for over a decade. I remember posting a WTB on MTo nine years ago. Also, this. Finally, a few weeks ago I got a saved search notification from eBay for this nice (near mint) one. Shipping took six weeks from Canada to the Netherlands (it was held

Victorinox matte black Spartan with golden shield
A nice Spartan with matte black scales. No idea what the finish is exactly but it looks and feels quite nice. It’s similar but not identical to the 3D haptic scale designs. The golden shield is painted on, not inlaid.

Victorinox Executive with sterling silver scales
This Victorinox Executive has sterling silver scales. Or rather, it has regular red cellidor scales with a thin layer of 925 sterling silver on top. The red is clearly visible near the key ring where the red scales are poking through. Rather classy indeed. It came with the regular grey plastic tweezer head – a

Am I getting old?
Probably. It’s a question I asked on MTo years ago. Over the years I’ve bought, traded or otherwise acquired hundreds of SAKs. I’ve also sold, traded, lost and given away dozens or maybe hundreds. For the most part I can remember quite clearly how and when a particular knife was added to the collection or
Victorinox Prince with celluloid tortoise-shell scales
This is an older Victorinox Prince with tortoise-shell scales. In certain markets (e.g. Canada) it may have been sold under the Treasurer name. The scales are made of celluloid which predates the Cellidor material. Celluloid is a plastic containing nitrocellulose and camphor. This material is chemically unstable and has the tendency to deteriorate with age

Victorinox Tinker – Orange pinstripe
Years ago Victorinox offered a set of SAKs with pinstripe scales. I believe they where Spartans and they came in blue, red, green, black and pink. I’m still looking for that complete set, but I did manage to find an orange one. Not part of the same set – this one was a custom scale

Victorinox Ranger Topo
A nice Victorinox Ranger with part of a map of the surroundings of Ibach and Zürich on the front and the back. I like the green print on the white cellidor scales. The Ranger is a beefy model with five layers and five back side tools, so no “blank” back springs on this SAK.

Victorinox Spartan – Black Topography
A nice black Spartan with an unusual front scale. This “Black Topography” SAK was part of the Marlboro Rewards program. Unfortunately the back is just plain black, but the SAK did come in a nice cardboard box with black padding. There is even a listing of all of the Spartan’s functions. The use with care
