This is a fairly old, 58mm blue alox Pocket Pal. This model usually had red alox scales, but apparently other colors were used on advertising knives. The Pocket Pal name is currently used for a 84mm model.

Victorinox 75mm alox pen knife

It has the old Swiss cross on the front scales and it looks like the knife has never been used, carried or shapened. It’s in mint condition which is what I prefer ;) It came without the box, unfortunately. Victorinox still make the
