Golly, my knife is such a weenie one by comparison. I think it's a Spartan. The only crucial add-on is the super-neat watchmaker's screwdriver that screws into the corkscrew. I use that one a lot, knowing a fair few people with glasses whose frames need tightening up from time to time. I'm that kind of geek...
The man I get my knives from (I lose one occasionally and have three strategically dotted around the house) knows the Victorinox company well. Apparently it's still run on quite personal lines. He told me a few years ago that if you rang with a query in July, an old lady would answer the phone. It was the granny who still did her stint while the factory was closed for the holidays.
