In January 1891 the knife received the official designation Modell 1890. The knife had a blade, reamer, can-opener, screwdriver and grips made out of dark oak wood that was later partly replaced with ebony wood. At that time no Swiss company had the necessary production capacity, so the initial order for 15,000 knives was placed at the German knife manufacturer Wester & Co. from Solingen. These knives were delivered in October 1891.
At the end of 1891 the company Karl Elsener, which later became Victorinox, delivered the first model 1890 knives produced in Switzerland. Also several other manufacturers from Germany and Switzerland produced this knife and its successors. In 1893 the Swiss cutlery company Paul Boéchat & Cie, which later became Wenger, received its first contract from the Swiss military to produce model 1890 knives.
Since its launch in 1891 the Swiss military knife has been revised several times. There are five different main Modelle; the model number is the year of introduction. Several main models have been revised over time and therefore exist in different Ausführungen (executions). These are the issued models:[13]
Modell 1890
Modell 1890 Ausführung 1901
Modell 1908
Modell 1951
Modell 1951 Ausführung 1954
Modell 1951 Ausführung 1957
Modell 1961
Modell 1961 Ausführung 1965
Modell 1961 Ausführung 1978
Modell 1961 Ausführung 1994
还需要翻译一下么? 只是为了证明一下瑞士军队确实装备过这个东西。但是和市面上的瑞士军刀没有联系,除了这条:At the end of 1891 the company Karl Elsener, which later became Victorinox, delivered the first model 1890 knives produced in Switzerland 至少说明了VICTOR前身确实给瑞士军队制造过瑞士军刀,所以瑞士军刀还算是没有胡乱叫名字吧。
PS。就是个EDC嘛,何必这么认真。。 |
