The Victorinox Executive Swiss Army knife offers the most functionality in the comfortably pocket-sized 3" format. They are ideal for the business executive. Judging from the paint stains we see on many used knives that come in, this model also works well for construction workers and many other folks.

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 Executive 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 Executive is still pretty common, so we price them just a bit higher than the standard Executive knives.
