In December 2013 Victorinox launched a new collector’s knife. To honor the memory of Mr. Carl Elsener senior, who died this summer, Victorinox choosed for the this year’s Damascus edition the Explorer model.

The main blade is made of Damascus steel (Damasteel). The handle is made of oak wood and Mr. Elsener Sr.’s signature is laser engraved on the front scale. The oak wood’s grain, gives each knife a unique look.

This edition is limited to 7000 pieces. Each knife is serial numbered on the liner behind the corkskrew.

On some knives (I saw only a few and heard from other collectors) the edges of the wood scales are a bit rough. If the knife is used as an every day user, the edges should be sanded a bit to make the handle smooth. But if this knife is intended as a shelf queen, who cares.
