Info Needed

[ColoSwiss]

A small company in Switzerland produces a wide variety of metal handles which are placed on Victorinox Spartans and sold through knife shops and jewelry stores in Switzerland.

Can anyone come up with the name of the company and a copy of their catalog, for inclusion in the SAKwiki similar to the Urban Chameleons?

Those are real nice.

I'll scan the catalog soon and make it available in SAKwiki.

In the meantime you may have a look at their website.
But only a few models in silver are still available, as they told me a few weeks ago.

Very nice collection.

Martin,

Thanks for the info! 

Looks like you have more than they currently show online. If you have something not in the current catalog maybe include it with your upload.

I've scaned the Edisona catalog. Where can I upload it? Who will integrate it in SAKWiki?

You can email it to me (email in the profile) or Francis and we'll take care of it. Thanks

How about:

The Swiss Souvenir knives are a series of metal handled Spartans produced by the the Swiss jewelry firm of Edisona. The knives feature raised relief handles in a wide variety of scenes. Some versions are monotone silver; other are bicolored silver and gold. Some knives also have enameled flowers or crests. The back side features a standard pattern of scrollwork, usually with an engraving panel. The company has produced numerous other designs in addition to the ones shown in the accompanying catalog. The series is normally only available through Swiss jewelry stores and tourist shops.

Looks great. And I just realized that calling them Souvenir knives was my suggestion a few months ago. I knew we'd agreed on something but I forgot what it was.

I managed to do a double 'the' in the first sentence.

And I read it 3 times and didn't notice. All fixed now.

[detron]

it took me 4 attempts to find the double "the" even though you told me

Very nice indeed! 

I've seen a couple of other listings of models from that company, including another one from you. They have a number of models that don't appear in the catalog you provided. Suspect various odd items of their's will be cropping up for years.

Managed to pick up another three of the Souvenir knives: Bern, William Tell, and Zurich.
