After almost 50 years, the Swiss Government called for an update to its standard issue Soldier knife which began its tour of duty in 1961. This marks only the fourth evolution of the storied knife over its 120-year history. A total of seven suppliers from Switzerland and around the globe were invited to participate in the evaluation process; the knives submitted underwent practical testing by military personnel while laboratory tests assessed the compliance with technical specifications. Victorinox proved to be the best solution for the Swiss Army and was awarded the exclusive contract as the official provider.
This standard issue Soldier Standard Issue Swiss Army Knife is the actual tool carried by today's Swiss Army. This collectible yet functional tool features a new ergonomic dual density handle, which will allow for a secure grip in extreme cold or wet weather situations.
Other updates and features include a one-hand serrated locking blade, Phillips Screwdriver, can opener with small screwdriver, bottle opener with large locking screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, key ring and wood saw. The Soldier Knife has a black and olive green combination handle.
Engraving: Up to 8 characters can be engraved on the shield side of the Soldier, up to 10 characters can be engraved on the back, in addition to 12 on either side of the main blade.

Just wish I could buy the same knife with US on it. I’m retired Army. You did have it at one time. Can you tell me if you still do?

Every day carry is my Victorinox Adventure which is slimmer plus has toothpick & tweezers. Plus I like the straight blade & easier to sharpen . The Soldier Standard could be easily used for every day , it would just take a few days to get used to and it seems to be a very robust knife, really like it. Great knife 👍💪

This is my second Swiss Army knife of this version. I carried the original for over 25 years while in the Army and as a civilian employee. Thank you for your great customer service.
