Victorinox Time Keeper and Super Timer

The Victorinox Time Keeper is an discontinued and moderately rare 91mm Victorinox knife. This is probably the first attempt of Victorinox to incorporate a electronic device into a knife. It almost like the model Compact exept that the tweezers has been replace with a analog watch. In the earlier models the clock face had Roman numerals, later models had Arabic numerals. It was introduced in early 1992 and it was discontinued in 2007.
The Victorinox Super Timer is a SwissChamp model that also includes an analog watch in the scales rather than the tweezers. The Super Timer was also available with an SOS Kit packaging and is a fairly rare version. I was lucky enough that i found two of the last models in Greece, thanks to Gianni Tsimpogo of Greek distributor of Victorinox.

Victorinox SwissChamp XLT and XAVT - The Big ones!

The Victorinox SwissChamp XLT is a very large 11 layer Swiss Army Knife. It has 50 functions its 91mm length, but increasing in width. On the other hand the SwissChamp XAVT  is the largest Swiss Army Knife made by Victorinox. It offers 80 functions in a standard 91mm knife that is 64.6mm in width. The knife consists of 118 individual pieces and a skilled craftsman assembles each knife by hand.
You can see the difference in width compared to my regular SwissChamp who i have for EDC.

Victorinox Spartan Camouflage.

This is the model Spartan of Victorinox with camouflage scales. This model is a direct descendant of the historic Victorinox Officer's Knife. It has 12 tools and it is available in numerous colors.
The predecessor to the Spartan was the model Standard but with solid scales and it did not contain the Tweezers and Toothpick. Also it was without the keyring.
