Cellidor is one of the most common scale materials. It’s a nice, shiny type of plastic. Cellidor scales will warp/deform when exposed to high temperatures. Be careful when cleaning your SAKs and never throw them in the dishwasher.
Available in a wide range of colors.

This is a pretty old Executive. It has the Victoria stamp on the tang of the main blade, aluminum tipped tweezers and the older style scissors (with a single leaf spring). The orange peeler has finer teeth than current Executive knives like this green Executive and this older, smooth alox one. The red cellidor scales

The (original) Traveller is basically a Climber without key ring. This particular one has the Victorinox shield and cross on the back scale, since there is a metal inlaid company logo on the front. This knife is from before 1985 (because the awl/reamer has no sewing eye). Note the fluted corkscrew and the absence of

The Pocket pal is one of the most simple, slimmest Victorinox knives. It measures 84mm and has a slimmer profile than the regular 84mm knives like for example the Sportsman, Bantam and Lumberjack. This one has a nice logo of Jasper – Canada on the back scale. It is a metal inlay, just like the

This is a Victorinox Fisherman. It has the Phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew and is one of only a few knives that have the fish scaler/hook disgorger tool, which is also a ruler and, apparently, a Halloween pumpkin carver ;) The Fisherman has a metal inlay of a fish on the front scale. Older

I have a couple of other non-standard Spartans as well, including some Michel Jordi ones, a blue “Spirit of Greece” model and a

These are a couple of unusual Victorinox SAKs. The SwissFlame adds a butane gas lighter to the Climber model, while the CampFlame adds the lighter and a small screwdriver to the Camper model. The SwissFlame and Campflame models were only manufactured for a couple of years (from 2002 until 2005). They were never for sale

The kit was probably issued for the 700 year anniversary of Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica) in 1991, but the knife itself was not
