The Victorinox Ambassador Swiss Army knife is a basic Swiss Army knife, in a slender 3" format. It has the same tools as the popular Classic knife, but they are all a bit larger and longer.

Between 1980 and 1991, the Victorinox scissors were attached with an adjustable screw, rather than a fixed rivet. Many people prefer this version to the modern Ambassador knives, since the scissor screw allows you to adjust the scissors tension, and it also makes the blades a bit easier to sharpen.

This version of the Ambassador is still pretty common, so we price them at about the same price as the standard Ambassadors.

Ambassador-- modern version with rivet instead of screw
Ambassador Vintage-- older model with vintage single-spring scissors

Diplomat-- no toothpick, slightly larger size (3 1/4" / 84mm)

The Ambassador knife is available only in red shells.
