Continue readingThis is a picture of 6 very different 111mm Swiss Army knife models made by Victorinox. Top left is a Jumpmaster. This model usually has black nylon scales, but this one is red which is rather uncommon. Next to the Jumpmaster is the first version of the one-hand German Army knife, with the older, oval shaped thumb hole and a low-profile lock release. The next one is the 2010 Dutch Army knife. This was the first Victorinox knife with 2

The DAK 2010 has 2 one-handed (OH) opening blades while the 1993 model has
