Two examples of the Victorinox Gardener. This model is also known as Floral Knife and dates back to maybe the 1960s or so. The frame is 100mm and the single sheepsfoot blade has a chisel edge. The black handled one has brass liners and was probably some sort of Premium version.
The Victorinox watch-opener (or watch-case opener) is an unusual knife. It is related to the Bantam model, but instead of the combo tool it has a special watch-case opener blade. This dedicated blade, which is not sharpened, is used to open the back of watches that use a snap-back case. It’s a 84mm knife with …
This is a picture of 6 very different 111mm Swiss Army knife models made by Victorinox. Top left is a Jumpmaster.

It’s also the same as the German Army Knife, but the GAK has no tweezers/toothpick. This Trailmaster has the old, oval shaped thumb hole in the …
This is the 2010 model of the Dutch Army Knife (DAK). It is closely related to the Victorinox DualPro knife, but has a Phillips screwdriver instead of a corkscrew. The DAK has olive green nylon scales with an embossed Dutch army emblem. There are no toothpick and tweezers. Both large blades are one handed opening. …

It also has a reamer/awl, Phillips screwdriver and a keyring. …
