I've started with the 91mm current range from Victorinox. Only regular production, and not beyond 8 layers.
SAKWiki is a great knowledge source and very well laid out, but I wanted a one-page family tree showing all the names and relationships, to help me understand the range. I looked...but could not find one, so I created one myself...

You could represent the model relationships differently, but I found this the most logical.I've attached a screenshot and the PDF. I'm happy to share and PPT if anyone wants the file (file type not supported here). It's free to use so long as not for commercial benefit.
OK, I admit it - I'm terrible with names! And getting to know the names across the Victorinox model range is no less challenging, especially as this is a relatively new interest for me, so I have not had years to build up the necessary familiarity.

You could represent the model relationships differently, but I found this the most logical.Some interesting observations from the tree:- No surprise that Spartan is the Big Daddy of the family.- Victorinox clearly views the Corkscrew as an iconic tool. Even though the Phillips back tool is arguably more relevant today, it's vastly outnumbered.- Can now see 'children' of 'parents', eg: Climber+Camper=Huntsman, Mountaineer+Huntsman=Ranger, Super Tinker+Hiker=Fieldmaster.- CyberTool L is more closely related to Handyman than the other CyberTools.- I now can easily see what current 91mm SAKs I'm missing.I certainly will use this tree to help learn the 91mm family. I'll also enjoy ticking off the ones I have, and using it to help make decisions on the next. Just don't ask me to add in all the discontinued models... I've attached a screenshot and the PDF.

Thanks for that. It’s brilliant.
Nice job Max. not sure where you would put it - champion plus, maybe over swiss champ? or somewhere between explorer/ranger
Hello Blackbeard. It can be a little difficult to add the discontinued models, as this diagram will explode into a sea of models and names.
