0041 – Victorinox Classic (US Mission Geneva)
This is a red 58mm Classic with the Great Seal of the United States alongside the text “U.S. Mission Geneva” on the front, instead of the Victorinox Shield.
U.S. Mission Geneva refers to the permanent diplomatic mission of the United States to the United Nations (and other international organizations) in Geneva.
The Great Seal of the United States consists of a bald eagle, holding a bundle of arrows in one claw, and an olive branch in the other. The eagle is looking towards the olive branch. This symbolizes the United States has a strong desire for peace, but will always be ready for war.
Above the bald eagle you see a so called “glory” with in the middle a six pointed star. The observant reader could now be thinking: wait, one six pointed star… this can’t be right ?! That is correct. The original Great Seal doesn’t have one star, it has 13 small stars arranged in the shape of a six pointed star. I don’t know why on the knife it has only one star. I think the metal inlay on the Victorinox scale don’t allow a small enough level of detailing to make 13 individual stars.

0032 – Victorinox Classic SD (Army Strong)
This is a black 58 mm Victorinox Classic SD with “Army Strong” inscription.
“Army Strong” was the recruiting slogan for the US Army from 2006 until 2015, when it was replaced by the “I became a soldier”-theme.
“Fort Leavenworth, KS” refers to the US Army installation at Leavenworth (also called the Intellectual Center of the Army), which -among other things- houses the US Army Combined Arms Center, the US Army Command and General Staff College, the Foreign Military Studies Office, the US Disciplinary Barracks and Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery.
Because on the front of the knife is the inscription, the Victorinox shield is moved to the back side.

0028 – Victorinox Classic SD (Tennessee National Guard)
