Nice find! I didn't know this.Why did they have to include a pic of a smooth alox Dutch Army knife? It makes me sad. They are made of unobtainium.
Not sure if this has been linked before but there is an interesting fact page on the Victorinox sitehttps://www.victorinox.com/ch/en/Victorinox/Inspiration/Swissness-%26-Heritage/Did-you-know/cms/didyouknowI wish the paramedic had made it into production in the 1950's(Image removed from quote.)and with some other soldiers and prototypes(Image removed from quote.)

But in the 1990s, Victorinox released a 91mm Alox Officers knife with blue scales exclusively for the Dutch Army. This was actually the only 91 mm Officers knife ever released with Alox scales and even more unusual, the scales themselves were completely smooth.
