Hadn't seen the Portugal ones, or some of the others. Nice! Thanks for the info (I think -now there are more I need!)

I got some of the models from Portugal in this store... "Laventura", the guy who runs it is a really nice person, the store is in a city called Porto and he might speak english... contact him if you need... his name is Armando

Just received a Scenic knife for the Winterthur Canton Hospital. Actually this is about the least scenic Scenic knife I've seen, all black and grey. Rather grim.

Just in by way of Canada (nothing is ever straightforward).

Scenic Climber for the Mexican city of Pachuca, featuring the Reloj Monumental clock tower.

I agree, it's great collection.  A round-the-world tour in Swiss Army Knife form!  Are there any other countries that have had scenic knives, other than the ones already mentioned in this thread?

Which is why we're now calling them 'Scenic' knives.   :pok:

Here's one for the USS Hawaii (top), and a second one for Neuschwanstein (right).

Have also seen a number of others for Switzerland, and a couple more for France. A lot of them are done for special occasions or for certain locales or firms, and getting them can be very iffy. The Mexican one with the pyramid mentioned earlier was apparently done for a hotel.

You've got to hand it to the guys in marketing. They really do have this thing nailed. And for all that cynicism I still like 'em.

And for Firiki's benefit to add to the Tourist / Scenic discussion aren't they really Souvenir knives ?

We've been using the term 'souvenir' for the metal-handled Edisona knives.

I don't have any City or Country souvenir knives, but I do have a blue Euro Wenger Traveller, and a Team GB Olympic Spartan. No pics at the moment though  :-[
