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.
The Victorinox Grand Prix is a four-layer Swiss Army knife. This model was introduced in 1980 and in the following years (up until about 1995) it underwent the usual changes in tools like the addition of the hook in 1991. The unique feature of the Grand Prix is the inlay of a classic Ford Model

This Spartan was part of the Confoederatio Helvetica series, released in 1991. It has an image of William Tell on the front scale. The other knives in this series had metal inlays. Note that the Ambassador was not part of the series and neither was that Sportsman with music cassette I showed a decade ago.

This small pocket knife was listed in the 1940s Elsener/Victoria catalogue. It was known as 50CT: 50 = the Student config (75mm, two blades), CT = Celluloid Tortoise. I’m putting this under cellidor although this knife predates the cellidor scaled SAKs. Old celluloid has the tendency to decay and shrink. These tortoise celluloid scales however

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

This is an older version of the Victorinox Huntsman. It’s probably from the 1970s. It features the long nail file on the back side of the scissors layer. That tool has been out of production for years. Unfortunately this one has a broken tip. When this particular knife was sold it was probably known as

Over the last few years I’ve added ten different variations of the 74mm Travel Spray to my collection. I’ve never used one and they are a bit of a weird gimmick, but somehow I really like these. I’m a big fan of the 74mm line of Swiss Army Knives and I like the scale designs

It’s (almost) always a good time for coffee. The SAK is a Victorinox Spartan Lite with scales designed by Christopher Raeburn.
It’s almost summer and all the sunny days we’ve had recently prompted me to post some bright, shiny, yellow Swiss Army Knives. Yellow is quite an unusual color in cellidor, even though some yellow 91mm models should be readily available new. 74mm SAKs with yellow scales are fairly rare, while in 58mm it’s one of
