0175 – Victorinox Centurion (Dutch Army issue, 1993 model)

This is the 111m Dutch Army Knife, the standard issue of the Dutch armed forces (army, air force and navy). This is the 1993 model, which was replaced by the new (and current) model in 2010.

The scales are green (olive drab) nylon, with the so called “interservice” logo of the Dutch armed forces.

The interservice logo represents three branches of the Dutch armed forces: the army, navy and air force.

For some reason, “T56” is stamped on the back scale. I haven’t yet figured out what it means. I have seen someone with a different number stamped on the back scale, he suggested it may have been a (numbered) test run of these knives before it as decided to issue these to the troops.

0045 – Victorinox Dutch Army Knife (2010 model)

This is the 111m Dutch Army Knife, the standard issue of the Dutch armed forces (army, air force and navy). This is the current model, in use since 2010.

It has two liner locked blades: one partial serrated main blade and one gutting/rescue blade. The cap lifter is also liner locked, so it can be used as a prybar.

The scales are green (olive drab) nylon, with the so called “interservice” logo of the Dutch armed forces.

The interservice logo represents three branches of the Dutch armed forces: the army, navy and air force.

0010 – Victorinox Cheese Knife

The Victorinox Cheese Knife is a 111 mm knife with all the essentials for a romantic entre nous with wine, bread and cheese. Nothing more and nothing less. It was originally designed for the Switzerland Cheese Marketing group in 2010, but in 2013 Victorinox added it to its own catalog as a special edition.

A very nice knife to steal the show with at a family dinner!

0002 – Victorinox Trailmaster (or: Trekker)

The Victorinox Trailmaster is the second Swiss Army Knife I bought. It’s key features are a locking blade and extra strong caplifter (which also locks and can be used as a small prybar). In other parts of the world this knife is also known as the Victorinox Trekker.
