This special version of the Victorinox Weekender Swiss Army knife
is a real oddity.
First of all, it uses a different color of red for the
scales-- it's lighter and brighter than standard Swiss Army knives.
It also uses the older style of solid awl (with no sewing eye),
along with the newer style of corkscrew (with no grooves). About
the only way we can explain this combination is that perhaps the
frugal folks at Victorinox discovered a supply of the older awls
(retired
in
1987) sometime in 1991 or later, and decided to use them on a batch
knives with non-standard shells.
Because of its unusual tool combination, we sell this "special" knife
at a premium, although it's still a very inexpensive knife.
NOTE-- We don't see huge numbers of this
knife, but there have been enough of them to rule out the possibility
that it is
a repaired or custom knife. |
