Is this another variant of Cellidor or is it a different material?

Couldn't find any info if it's just a color/print or an entirely new material. Guessing from the picture it's just regular cellidor with a print.

In the top picture is there a trick of the light because it looks to me like there is something between the scale and the spacer where the corkscrew sits

That's the optional wi-fi antenna

I dont'care for cabon. Regularly.
But this is actually very pretty!

I love that there isn't a repeating pattern and that it's got a high polish.

The thing/space behind the corkscrew is probably just reflection.
There is orange light coming from the right, also reflecting on the back tools.
If you look closely the scales are a little rounded at the aluminium side, the part behind the corkscrew seems a bit more rounded.
I suppose this is a handmade sample and therefore not completely uniform.

Nicely spotted! I took this from the apparel "lookbook" so it's a bit of an artsy picture.

That's what I was hoping. Save me going down to torpedo tube no.2 all the time......

Perhaps it's intended to go with http://www.horobox.com/en/news-detail/?UserKey=Victorinox-Swiss-Army-I-N-O-X-Carbon ? Also, I seem to remember from the text in a 2017 catalog somebody posted it is not Cellidor, but some variant of Carbon fiber thingie. I doubt the similarity with the watch case is coincidental.

Well, you're joking about a WiFi antenna.

While not in shiny carbon I found data on a Camper WiFi model.
It add one layer with WiFi antenna and has a circuit and status lights in the front scale.

Information about this knife is still scarce. I have no info on battery capacity.

That's so cool! Will you swap it for my Hobo-Camper?

I would if I had a Camper WiFi, it's not been released yet.
