This display board of 27 SAKs is for sale at Mertz Antique Firearms, a longtime purveyor of vintage weapons in Minnesota. He has plenty of close-up photos. Find them under Miscellaneous > Bladed Weapons. (Patience, the website is slow.) He says it’s a factory board but I’m skeptical. Enjoy the guns too.

Re: Something for SAK Lovers
I would be a little skeptical, too. Though the board itself could be factory (we'd need a Wenger expert to confirm that), the knives seem to cover quite a span of production. Some have the "dogleg" can opener, and others have the "lobster claw" type. Not having had confirmation from a Wenger expert yet, my guess is that someone found an empty board and filled it with whatever knives he could scare up. Sure was cool to see it, though!

Re: Something for SAK Lovers
I've got doubts too, but it's a neat display. One thing about it dog they're both army, Swiss and American, ain't that cheesy.
