Maybe this would warant its own thread but the info seems to be hard to come by From what I can gather there is quite a few countries who use Victorinox for thier armed forces . I would love to find out more .Dunc

Unfortunately I cannot answer all your questions, since the information is missing in suitable form. In addition, the information topic is current and important for Victorinox, why we want to arrange worth knowing data (historical and product-technical data). Taschentools for armies Up-to-date belong Taschentools of Victorinox in the following armies to the equipment: Switzerland 0.8610.26 Soldier measurer 3.0323.N with sequential Numnmer for fortress being awake corps Germany since 1976 0.8770.04 olivgruen with sign, nail file on holzsaege since 1985 since 2003 0.8461.M04DE with relief Logo federal eagle, blade for one-hand operation (without tweezers and Zahnstocher) Holland since 1983 0.8201.27 with the label KL (royal land power) since 1993 0.8451.04R with relief Logo Dutch land power Denmark since 1992 0.8953.01R3 with hot coinage Luxembourg since 1996 0.8363.3 with Tampoprint national emblem Norway since 1998 3.0323.3N Australia since 2001 3.0323.3N with diamond engraving NATO stick number Singapore since 1999 0.2303.3 Upgrading is evaluated Brunei since 1999 0.8453.3R2 with Camouflage bowls Malaysia since 2003 0.9123.03R2 with Camouflage bowls and national emblems No more supplies on: Cypern 1999 0.8353.03R2 with Tampoprint national emblem South Africa 0.8610.26 With NATO stick number In India we are still located in the initial phase: We made and to the appropriate places supplied special samples for the Indian army. The first reactions are very positively however like so often in the military business, might it up to the definite order still some last. Holland We stand before the first distribution of burnished SwissTool Spirit 3.0223.3N with normal knife blade in place of the shears. The Dutch army considers even to deliver such an equipment as standard equipment at each military man. Singapore The Upgrading runs in front. The first a hand measurers 0.8463.M3 with the national emblem were already delivered from Singapore. Austria Concerning evaluation a hand measurer and SwissTool progress. We obtain the largest conversion however still over the PX Shops with the American army, only that the military man must buy the measurers there at a special price.
