In 2011, Victorinox offered another model with a Damascus steel blade, following the 2010 Damascus Pioneer. The Damascus Climber comes with very dark brown, almost black Ebony wood scales and has its serial number stamped into the liner near the corkscrew. Production was limited to 4000 pieces. The Damascus Climber comes in a similar box […]

This is a very nice Limited Edition Victorinox Climber made to celebrate the Chinese Year of the (water) Goat in 2003. It has an image of a goat on the front and there is a serial number stamped in the liner near the corkscrew. This one was obviously carried, that’s why the image has faded

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 Climber has unusual scales. They are cellidor with a hot stamped shield (not a metal inlay) and a couple of Swiss flags and edelweiss flowers printed on them. Switzerland is printed in 4 different languages. These climbers were a special order for Migros, a large Swiss supermarket/wholesale chain. Update: this SAK has found a

You can never have too many Climbers :) The SilverTech scales on this Swiss Army Knife were introduced in 2009 (I believe). They are colorless translucent cellidor scales that are painted silver on the inside, giving the scales a high tech, polished steel look. While they look pretty futuristic, I haven’t decided if I like

More StayGlow scales! The Climber is (was?) one of only a few models available with glow-in-the-dark StayGlow scales. You can see the pins and bushes through the scales, unlike my StayGlow Camper. A bit odd, that :)

This Climber has a long nail file on the back instead of the multi purpose hook the current Climber model has. It’s an interesting knife: the long nail file is a very old tool and I believe this Climber is the only recent/current model available with the nail file. This model is mentioned in the

The series also included

In 2010, Victorinox released a soft grip version of the Climber model for the On The Road tour. It is called the Climber RT (Road Tour) and has black cellidor scales with a special coating giving it a nice soft grip finish. You can see the difference between the soft grip scales and the regular

There is a thread on the MultiTool.org forums about black Swiss Army knives, with lots of great pictures. I happen to like black cellidor scales a lot. In fact, it’s one of my favorite scale colors, along with green and any kind of colored alox. Here are some of my black Victorinox SAKs. I have
