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 colours!
I think I (finally) have all different colours 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 colours in 91mm, including the Climber Gold edition, green and orange from the Colour Twins sets, different shades of teal (for Motorex and

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

The Swiss Army Knife is used by companies all over the world as a promotional item and that’s why there are literally millions of SAKs with a company logo on the scales.
