In September 2017 Victorinox introduced a new version of their I.N.O.X. watch called the Sky High Limited Edition. While the watch is pretty cool the reason why I bought it was the Handyman that was included in the gift box. It’s a regular Handyman but with white scales with the famous astronaut inlay on the […]

This is an awesome Victorinox Fieldmaster made for the Mexican market. It has a lot of unusual details like the uncommon nylon pouch with yellow piping, yellow tweezer head and translucent black scales. I think these actually differ from the onyx scales that were available some years ago. I’m not sure about total production numbers

Updated group photo of most of the translucent scale colours, excluding the colours used in the 58mm line. Note that the two onyx SAKs used to be quite different from each other a few years ago or even just two years ago when I took another group pic of several translucent scale colours. They have

BLS is one of Switzerland’s biggest railway companies and they use this bright lime green in their corporate identity. Usually, Victorinox only offers the standard scale colours for advertising SAKs, but it

This white Victoirnox Spartan has a very nice image on the front depicting the traditional Swiss Alpaufzug. This is the yearly tradition of taking the livestock to the higher alpine pastures. In some regions in Switzerland this is a very important festive custom which can take a few days. I should replace that image with

A few years ago Victorinox started offering a new 3D printing technique for promotional knives. The digital haptic 3D scales feature raised surfaces that feel realistic to the touch. This particular Victorinox Spartan has those 3D scales with a stone-like surface. This Spartan was made for the 2017 Unspunnen festival in Interlaken, Switzerland.

The famous Victorinox emblem consists of a Swiss cross inside a shield. In some countries Victorinox uses a different logo without the cross, for religious reasons. Instead of the cross the logo has a capital V and a small globe inside the shield. Swiss Army knives with that World Logo are a bit hard to

The Victorinox SwissChamp is arguably the most iconic Swiss Army Knife. It’s the largest regular knife although several larger models primarily aimed at collectors exist, like the SwissChamp XLT, SwissChamp XXLT and SwissChamp XAVT. For me, my interest in SAKs started back in the 1990s when I borrowed a friend’s SwissChamp. That’s why this iconic

This Victoria stamped Champion is one of my absolute favorites in my collection. Not only does it have all the vintage tools like a clip-point small blade, long nail file, old scissors with single black leaf spring, +PAT can opener and old style saws, it also has beautiful mother of pearl scales and it is
