Updated group photo of most of the translucent scale colors, excluding the colors 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 colors. They have …
This is a pretty cool knife from the 1950s or 1960s, measuring 84mm. I have not really tried to date this but it has all signs of being a vintage knife from that era: Victoria tang stamp, wide version of the long nail file spanning two layers, exposed rivets, metal tipped tweezers. SAK enthusiasts usually …

Just a quick pic of all different translucent scale colors in my collection. Note that the orange Cybertool (bottom right) is a different shade of orange than the Color Twins Spartan. There are more colors in 58mm, but those do not exist in 91mm as far as I know.
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 …
Found these “new old stock” 75mm SAKs a while ago. Here they are next to their slightly bigger brother (84mm) on the left. All four have horn scales and a long nail file.
This is an unusual 84mm Waiter. It not only has pinstripe scales (never seen those in 84mm before), but they are orange as well! Pinstripe scales have been available in 91mm a while ago in red, black, green, blue and pink, but it’s rare to see them on a 84mm knife.
Two nice vintage items. Both with horn scales and in 84mm. The older one (stamped Inoxyd/Armée Suisse) has the pre-1940s opener layer, the old style reamer and brass liners. It has a taper towards the end, with the blade layer being quite a bit thicker near the small clip point blade pivot. This is a …
A nice Victorinox Secretary with smooth gray alox scales. I don’t really collect knives with company logos but for VICTORINOX IBACH – SCHWYZ I can make an exception :) Update: I’ve seen older versions of the exact same knife but with VICTORIA IBACH – SCHWYZ on the front scale.
The very popular Climber model was once available in a slightly smaller 84mm version. This is a Victoria version with a five turn corkscrew, a +PAT can opener, the old style scissors (spring is broken) and a small clip point blade. Unfortunately, Victorinox stopped producing 84mm knives with scissors a couple of years ago. It’s …
This is a very nice, special edition Swiss Army Knife. It is basically a Cadet with translucent rose colored cellidor scales. It was introduced in, I think, 2007 and it was aimed at the European market. It is one of the very few cellidor models without any backside tools.
