Victorinox – makers of the original Swiss Army Knife. Based in Ibach, Schwyz, Switzerland.
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.

The Voyager has plus scales, containing a straight pin and a pen. Usually, the tweezers are in the front scales, but since there is

This is a pretty old Executive. It has the Victoria stamp on the tang of the main blade, aluminum tipped tweezers and the older style scissors (with a single leaf spring). The orange peeler has finer teeth than current Executive knives like this green Executive and this older, smooth alox one. The red cellidor scales

The (original) Traveller is basically a Climber without key ring. This particular one has the Victorinox shield and cross on the back scale, since there is a metal inlaid company logo on the front. This knife is from before 1985 (because the awl/reamer has no sewing eye). Note the fluted corkscrew and the absence of

The one-handed German Army Knife (OH-GAK) replaced the 108mm GAK in 2003. This knife is almost identical as the one-handed Trekker, a 111mm liner locking knife with a one-handed, partially serrated main blade, a wood saw, a can opener and a locking can opener/screwdriver/pry bar. It also has a reamer/awl, Phillips screwdriver and a keyring.

This is an unusual, 111mm one-handed Swiss Army Knife from around 2003. I don’t know it’s exact name, but it’s basically a one-handed Trekker (OHT) with a corkscrew instead of the Phillips screwdriver and with camo scales with an Armee imprint. Toolwise, it is the same as the new one-handed Forester. But since that the

The Pocket pal is one of the most simple, slimmest Victorinox knives. It measures 84mm and has a slimmer profile than the regular 84mm knives like for example the Sportsman, Bantam and Lumberjack. This one has a nice logo of Jasper – Canada on the back scale. It is a metal inlay, just like the

Okay, so this is not exactly a Lumberjack. It’s an older, ribbed alox 84mm model which at the time (probably the 1970s) did not have a name, but was simply known as model 2231. The tool configuration (blade, saw, bottle opener) is almost identical to the newer Lumberjack model, but that one has the combo
