Victorinox Spartan – Schloss Neuschwanstein
This is my third fourth Swiss Army Knife made for KulturGut AG, related to my Bavarian Palace Department Spartan, my Bayerischen Schlösserverwaltung Huntsman and my Kaiserburg Spartan (I just realised I bought that Kaiserburg one a year ago). All four of those SAKs have a similar, but not identical laser etching on the blade. This

Victorinox I.N.O.X. Spartan
This Spartan features a nice scale design matching the website and other promotional material used for the Victorinox I.N.O.X. watches (check out the background used on that site! Same image :) ). I was told this Spartan was only available during the introduction of the I.N.O.X. product line. It’s a bit weird, using a rusty

Victorinox Spartan – Bavarian Palace Department
Here’s the little brother of the Royal Bavaria Huntsman I posted earlier. It’s a Spartan with Swans, Lions and Bavarian shields on the scales. It also has a laser etching on the main blade.

In the summer of 2013, Victorinox offered this Spartan Lite with a nice “Neon Cross and Shield Camo print”. It was part of the Festival Ready product range which was only available through the Victorinox X Editions e-boutique in the UK. It was designed in collaboration with Christopher Raeburn and came with a certificate of

Four shades of blue
I am always looking for unusual SAK scales (materials, designs, colors). A couple of days I found a Spartan with light blue scales which I had never seen before. Turns out at least four shades of blue exist in 91mm, of which only one is actually found on regular knives (with item number codes ending

Translucent SAKs, all the existing colors!
I think I (finally) have all different colors of translucent scales that exist. Anyone know of any others? In 91mm, that is? Edit (2020-11-28): there are roughly twice as many translucent scale colors in 91mm, including the Climber Gold edition, green and orange from the Color Twins sets, different shades of teal (for Motorex and

Vintage, horn scaled 84mm SAKs
Two nice vintage items. Both with horn scales and in 84mm. The older one (stamped Inoxyd/Armée Suisse) has the pre-1940s opener layer, the old style reamer and brass liners. It has a taper towards the end, with the blade layer being quite a bit thicker near the small clip point blade pivot. This is a

Victorinox Spartan with metallic blue sparkly scales
How cool is this? I love uncommon scale materials and scale designs. And the scales on this Spartan sure are uncommon. They are cellidor with some kind of metallic paint or coating. Very sparkly :) As you can see these scales are a bit darker than the regular blue ones like on this Compact. Almost
