This pocket knife was one in a group of nine that I recently purchased. I didn't buy the group for this particular pocket knife. It's a VICTORINOX florist pocket knife. It measures 4" closed and 6 3/8" open. It's in VERY good condition. It didn't need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: VICTORINOX knives 1884- present SWISS ARMY KNIVES
I recently picked up one of those as well. It takes a razor's edge with little effort, and I'm really bad at sharpening.
Re: VICTORINOX knives 1884- present SWISS ARMY KNIVES
Those are nice little knives. I have one and then I have one that the blade is what I call a small Hawkbill blade.

Cody, it came with a razor sharp edge.
I'm quite pleased with it.
David, I think I can find work for the little guy.
Thank you John.
Floyd, I think I'm going to use it to open boxes,
envelopes, packages, etc. The blade is just right,
not too long and not too short.

Be very, very careful. Those suckers will cut you just from looking at them. Was carrying one a few years ago & cut some pizza with it. Wiped the pizza mung off the blade with a napkin. Thought I was being careful but came away bloody anyway.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 11:55 pm This pocket knife was one in a group of nine that I recently purchased.

I don't think that I'll be cutting any food with this.

Re: VICTORINOX knives 1884- present SWISS ARMY KNIVES
Very nice John. I'm a sucker for Alox and been eyeballing the Orange ones. Not decided yet. I'm still stuck on the Silvers and Reds.
But anyway, I received this one today from that Jungle store on the interweb. Why????? ...... I don't know, .... I just like SAKs and Alox. It's a 3-3/8 single blade single tool Officier Suisse. Plus, I figured it will make a good companion with my other large single blade I ordered out of the bay over a week ago that hasn't gotten here yet because I didn't pay attention to see where it was coming from.........Switzerland.
Here is the one I got today.
