Mini Story or Hook:
Unlike standard retail Swiss Army knives, this 86mm Officer’s Knife was produced only for advertising and promotional purposes. Marked with the old Victorinox shield and carrying the logo of German road construction company Vögele, it represents a unique piece of both Victorinox history and industrial memorabilia. Manufactured in the late 1980s to early 1990s, these advertising-only knives were never sold in stores and remain sought after by serious collectors.
