This Executive is wearing white cellidor scales. Strangely enough this color is fairly uncommon for 74mm Swiss Army knives. Victorinox recently announced colored toothpicks, tweezers and micro scredrivers in red, blue, green and black. Dark red (maroon?) tweezers have been available for years in the Limitied Edition Classics. I thought I’d try one of those …
The famous Victorinox emblem consists of a Swiss cross inside a shield. In some countries Victorinox uses a different logo without the cross, for religious reasons. Instead of the cross the logo has a capital V and a small globe inside the shield. Swiss Army knives with that World Logo are a bit hard to …
Here’s another Victorinox Executive. This one has rosewood scales with a silver painted shield and cross. It took me a while to find one in (near) mint condition. I do have another one in my collection but on that one the shield has worn of.
In November 2011 Victorinox released a rather unique version of the 74mm Executive mode featuring hand crafted mammoth tusk ivory scales. It came in a nice gift box with a cloth sleeve and a small leaflet with some information on the material used. According to sources close to Victorinox and based on pictures I’ve seen …

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 …
Here’s a nice black Executive: it has black scales with an image of the 1996 Summer Olympics. It’s not in very good shape unfortunately, but it fits my 74mm Victorinox collection quite nicely.
The Executive is one of my favorite models. It’s small enough to be used as a key chain knife yet large enough to be actually useful (I think the 58mm SAKs are a bit too small although I’ve EDC’d a brass Rambler for months now). It also has a funky tool config with the weird …
This 74mm Swiss Army knife is rather special IMHO, never seen one of these before. It’s a Director with the “Feathers” guilloché pattern. But apart from the engraving panel on one of the scales (a bit uncommon in itself), this one has one exposed rivet: the pin holding the non-floating spring (pin nr. 7 in …
Latest additions to the 74mm family: a yellow Executive with an Emmentaler logo and a black Ambassador sans shield & cross. I am usually not interested in knives with company logos, but I think this yellow one is quite nice. You cannot tell from the pictures, but it looks like the previous owner sanded away …
