Probably the most well-known size in the Victorinox product range. The 91mm line contains a large number of models and scale colours/designs.
I recently visited the Victorinox Brand Store in Paris, France. I had a little chat with the (very friendly) Victorinox people and, of course, I had to buy a couple of SAKs, like this nice Spartan with a picture of the Eiffel Tower on the front.

This is a Victora stamped Champion. It was probably known as model number 146 fmaU at that time (around the 1970s). Notice the long nail file on the back which shares its layer with the scissors. I also have the exact same model but with the triangular awl.

This is a Spartan SAK with a pretty cool “Tool Evolution” logo. This logo was also used on t-shirts, playing cards and other Victorinox items. It’s a pretty high resolution image with lots of detail. I have also seen Climbers with the same logo. This Spartan came in a nice gift tin.

This is an even older predecessor of the current Spartan model. It was made in the 1950s and it was probably known as model 234. It has a shackle (or bail) instead of a key ring, the older, triangular type reamer and a clip point small blade. Note the exposed rivets.

This is a Victorinox pocket knife that is basically an older version of the current Spartan model. It has a Victoria Officier Suisse tang stamp, a clip point small blade and a 5 turn corkscrew with groove dating it somewhere in the 1970s I think. The Victorinox shield on the front is made of nickle

This is a Victorinox Master Craftsman from the late 1960s. It has some nice features like a shackle/bail, alumin(iu)m tipped tweezers, a small clip point blade and the old style scissors. Pictures will follow later (I took several close ups, but the image quality is very poor ;) ).

The Battle of Murten was released in 1989 to commemorate the battle of Murten (or Morat) that took place on June 22, 1476. The knife is part of the Victorinox Swiss Allicances and Battle Series knives. This series of seven knives started in 1983 and ended in 1991. This is a rather special knife. It

This is a Victoinox Champion from the early 1980s. The Champion was the biggest model in the Victorinox lineup, until it was replaced as the top model by the even bigger SwissChamp in 1985. It was still offered in following years and it underwent the usual changes throughout the years (reamer with sewing eye, chisel,

Here is another SwissFlame. It’s a much sought-after Swiss Army knife for two reasons: first, it has only been on the market for a short period (between 2002 and 2005) and secondly, it was not available in the United States. Unfortunately, this one has a company logo laser etched into the lighter implement. Also, I
