A pair of Victorinox Swiss Army multi-tool pocket knives. Both knives feature bright red plastic handles adorned with the iconic Swiss Cross and Shield logo, housing various polished stainless steel tools.

The second is a smaller, traditional multi-tool featuring a corkscrew. Included are two cardboard boxes: a beige ‘SWISS ARMY BRANDS LTD.’ box and a red ‘VICTORINOX the original ‘Swiss Army Officers’ Knife” box. Both display the Swiss Cross logo and are marked ‘MADE IN SWITZERLAND Victorinox Cutlery Mfg. Co. IBACH-SCHWYZ, 1884’. A black fabric pouch and assorted paperwork, including a ‘Congratulations’ pamphlet and the aforementioned receipt, complete the set.
