Limited Edition – Page 10 – Swiss knives info

In October 2013 Wenger released a Limited Edition set called “UNITED WOODS“. It’s limited to 2013 sets worldwide and contains six knives.

Five of the knives have scales made of different types of wood. Each wood represents one of the five major continents of the world. The sixth knife has red evo scales and represents Wengers’s home, the Swiss canton Jura.

The set comes in a nice wooden box. An included book contains info about Wenger, the knives and the wood used for the scales.

In August 2013 Victorinox launched a Limited Edition called “Black Ice“. This edition consists of a Classic, a Spartan and a Trekker.

The tools of these three knives carry a black coating. The coating is not black but somewhat of a dark gray. It’s similar to the coating used on the handle of the multitool Spirit Road Tour edition and on some of Victorinox watches.

The handles from Classic and Spartan are regular cellidor scales in camo design. The Trekker carries Nylon camo scales.

Each knife has an orange lanyard attached to the ring and the Spartan and the Trekker carries a tweezers with an orange head.

It’s a quite small serie of 2’000 Classic, 1’723 Spartan and 1’000 Trekker and was sold out very fast after the launch.
