I think this knife refers to the Zentralschule, the Swiss military academy for the training of their junior officers (I think mainly lieutenants and captains)

Nice catch!  :salute:

The logo and "Führungsschule" makes the link to me:


I translate Führungsschule as leadership school.

Yep . . . better English syntax: Leadership School Unit
I'd vote on a military leadership school, for junior officers or perhaps NCOs. Whether this was for the students or the cadre I wouldn't try to guess.

Edit: I'm better with German German than with Swiss or Austrian German, und mein Deutsch Deutsch ist zehr schlecht!

I found the same logo as Glen did, and some more pretty much like it. They're Swiss, not German, and indicate various departments of the Swiss military schooling system, including the Military Academy.

I didn't research it any further but was certain it wasn't a German school as I lived there for three years with NATO forces. I'd have bet it wasn't Austrian. Just did a little searching and it's Swiss (as I'd suspected).

The Führungsschule Einheit is the Swiss company grade officer command school for lieutenants and captains to prepare them for platoon leadership and company command. The school probably has two tiers, one for new lieutenants (platoon leadership) and the other for senior lieutenants and junior captains (company command). In terms of U.S. Army it would be the equivalent of the branch specific Basic Course for newly commissioned 2nd lieutenants to prepare them for platoon leadership and the Advanced Course for senior 1st lieutenants and junior captains to prepare them for company command.
