An inlay I like, from my auxiliary-collection, CS collection, sub-collection?  I don't know how to give Karl proper credit when posting knives that came from him:

The boxes are nice. And there’s also the ‘84 84mm.

I also have a loose Champion somewhere.  :dunno:

Nice! I thought prints were off topic but I was wrong!

Dan Jacquart sent me one more than ten years ago. Time flies...

Great knife! Do you know how many these Classics were made? It seems to me 300 or 500.

I honestly don't know, I've never seen any numbers mentioned. Also, no idea if there were multiple runs.

I think the Scouter is 84mm?

My favorite “standard” inlay:



And the only knife I’ve ever purchased solely because of the custom inlay. It was just too good to pass up:

Look at these inlays. Did you ever see bottom one?
It’s post 1986 due to blade stamp, it’s interesting they also changed look of  “victorinox” to “Victorinox”

That's a very cool one! :drool:

I wonder if I have discarded those when looking at listings thinking it was the "regular" 1884-1984 inlay :)

Any idea what for they made so complicated inlay and why we didn’t see it not so rare?

I almost accidentally bought one a while back. I’ve seen a couple more since. I do think they seem more rare than the ‘84 anniversary ones. There are versions of the graphic that follow much later, but seem to ‘revert’ back to the older font. And have ‘SWISS’ and ‘ARMY’ separate where the ‘EST’ and years are.

It is somewhat strange that Vx inlays are rarely used.
