The Victorinox Midshipman is a discontinued model with marlinspike. In July 2013 Victorinox produced two special runs in black of this rare model. Each of these two runs consists of 50 pieces. All knives have a number and the year engraved on the backside of the main blade.
The difference between the two runs is the shield’s color. While one knife is completely black with silver emblem, the other knife has a red shield.
This new special run is an Alox Harvester with gray scales and a ring. Only 50 pieces were made by Victorinox in June 2013. On each knife the year and the number is engraved.
The cross and contours of the Victorinox logo are black, opposed to the usual silver color.
Alox Solo in gold. This special run of 50 pieces was made by Victorinox in June 2013. Each knife has a number engraved on the backside of the blade together with the year.
It’s a nice addition to the few existing Alox models with golden scales.
A very nice bicolor Alox Pioneer without ring from Victorinox. It has a red front scale and a black backside scale. The contours of the logo and the cross are black instead of silver.
The main blade carries an etching with multiple lines of “Deutschland” and “Germany”. The engraving panel on the backside scale shows a German flag and the name DEUTSCHLAND. It’s a three color print in white, red and gold.
It’s a limited special run of 50 pieces. Each knife has a serial number and the year engraved on the backside of the main blade.
Farmer in brown Alox without ring. This is a special run of 50 pieces, made by Victorinox in April 2013. The brown shade is a bit different from the shade used for the Pioneer from 2010, which is not numbered.
