Triangular Victorinox Scale Logo

[detron]

I tried searching first, but if the answer is already here, I could not find it.

What is the history of this logo  (just a random pic from internet)



I bought a celluloid Vic off ebay and while I was waiting I was curious about the logo.

the one I bought is here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Victorinox-Weekender-Swiss-Army-Knife-/281170649547?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=2GviVbsWInTvH6lKYxqwyTu4FWs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

it has a non-fluted cork-screw and the reamer has an eye for sewing, so I know it is not that old.

That's an Elinox Shield and those are Economy scales in the auction picture. A cheaper line Victorinox did a while back.

thank you very much

are the tools cheaper, or just the scales and stuff?  I know what the term economy means, but not sure what Victorinox did to call them Economy

Thanks!

Talking from memory here so some things might be a bit off, but I think the tools weren't as polished and the scales on them were a bit cheaper and didn't have the T&Ts. It was an attempt I think to draw the people in with cheaper models.

Thank you!

it is amazing how much info about SAKs is out there, but how spread out it is.

It is also very interesting how many things I cannot find.

oh, well, I still have not finished reading the book you just bought.  maybe I should finish that first.  thank you again for your help
