Perhaps the most well-known scale color. Iconic.
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

This is a 91mm Victorinox Golfer with the rather uncommon divot repair tool. Earlier versions of this knife had a combo tool (can opener/cap lifter), very similar to the current Compact model. This knife has plus scales with tweezers, toothpick, ball point pen and straight pin. An image of a golfer is screen printed on

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 is a Victora stamped Champion. It was probably known as model number 146 fmaU at that time (around the 1970s). Notice the long nail file on the back which shares its layer with the scissors. I also have the exact same model but with the triangular awl.

This is an even older predecessor of the current Spartan model. It was made in the 1950s and it was probably known as model 234. It has a shackle (or bail) instead of a key ring, the older, triangular type reamer and a clip point small blade. Note the exposed rivets.

This is a Victorinox pocket knife that is basically an older version of the current Spartan model. It has a Victoria Officier Suisse tang stamp, a clip point small blade and a 5 turn corkscrew with groove dating it somewhere in the 1970s I think. The Victorinox shield on the front is made of nickle

This red Victorinox Executive comes with smooth alox scales. It differs slightly from the gold Executive I posted almost a year ago: this one has the Victoinox cross and shield on the front, it has a key ring and it has no Victoria tang stamp, making it a little younger than the gold Victoria one.
