HELP! Spartan House of Switzerland
on: February 10, 2020, 04:46:13 PM
Last year I bought a Spartan with wood scales marked "I love House of Switzerland", and spent a few months digging up information on it. Of course, Victorinox AG hasn't answered my e-mails yet, but House of Switzerland answered that it was a promotional series made to be gifted to authorities etc. during Rio de Janeiro's Olympics.
What gets me is that Victorinox's logo is on the back scale, not the front.
Dows anyone else have one?

Neat SAK.  From what I can recall is Advertisement SAKs have the shield on the reverse side.

Yup, that would be normal for “Adverttising SAKs”... I believe, reverse scales is the correct term... Corporate logo is on front scale and the Victorinox shield on the back scale...
