Victorinox "Replica" Knife - 1891 Original Swiss Soldiers Knife
-- Victorinox has created a "Replica" of the Original Swiss Soldier Knife in limited numbers as a part of its 125th Anniversary Collection. The Replica is a remake of the Original Swiss Soldier's Knife created in 1891. Each knife comes along with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and an illustration of the original plans for the Swiss Army Knife in 1891. This limited edition knife is packaged in an elegant red 125th commemorative gift box, wherein it sits regally at the center of the presentation box. Each knife is stamped with its unique limited edition number.
During the late 1880s, the Swiss Army decided to purchase a new folding pocket knife for their soldiers. This knife was to help the Swiss soldiers in
opening canned food and disassembling the Schmidt-Rubin model 1889 service rifle. At the end of 1891 the company Karl Elsener, that later
became Victorinox, delivered the first model 1890 knives produced in Switzerland. In January 1891, the knife received the official designation Modell 1890 which officially became the first 'Swiss Soldier's knife'.
This collector's item is a model of Swiss quality precision and craftsmanship.
