Victorinox Director with one exposed rivet
This 74mm Swiss Army knife is rather special IMHO, never seen one of these before. It’s a Director with the “Feathers” guilloché pattern. But apart from the engraving panel on one of the scales (a bit uncommon in itself), this one has one exposed rivet: the pin holding the non-floating spring (pin nr. 7 in

Various 93mm alox SAKs
I mainly collect 74mm and 91mm SAKs, but somehow I now own more 93mm alox SAKs than I thought I would. I have bought and sold/traded several more in the past (including a 2010 Damascus Pioneer, colored Classics, Farmers and Cadets, and of course a million Dutch Army Knives), and there is a mint old

Victorinox Tinker and Climber with Mossy Oak New Break-Up camo scales
Look closely or you may not see them :)These two SAKs feature a rather cool camo pattern made by Mossy Oak. It’s called New Break-Up and each knife uses a different/random part of the whole camo image. The scales feel a bit like paper, I have no idea what material they are made out of

Victorinox Tourist with horn scales
This is a Victorinox Tourist, which is basically a smaller (84mm) version of the Spartan, in this case without key ring. It has horn scales and the tweezers have an aluminium handle but I think that’s not the original one since this knife is newer. I bought this knife hoping it was 91mm, but since

Victorinox Spartan – Schloss Neuschwanstein
This is my third fourth Swiss Army Knife made for KulturGut AG, related to my Bavarian Palace Department Spartan, my Bayerischen Schlösserverwaltung Huntsman and my Kaiserburg Spartan (I just realised I bought that Kaiserburg one a year ago). All four of those SAKs have a similar, but not identical laser etching on the blade. This

Victorinox soft grip Tinker “Wabenmuster”
Here’s a nice Victorinox Tinker. It has special soft grip scales with a Wabenmuster (honeycomb) design in black/gray. I think the scales are actually cellidor with some kind of rubbery coating. Victorinox introduced the soft grip scales in 2009 with the Climber Road Tour. I think this Tinker, along with a ruby soft grip Spartan,

Victorinox diamond cut gold Ambassador
This is a rather fancy Victorinox Ambassador (or Windsor) with diamond cut gold plated scales. I already had one of these in used condition, but this one is actually brand new. It has an embossed Swiss shield on the front, no scale tools and no keyring. This luxury model (0.6500.88) came in a nice burgundy
