Yep, it certainly is, rdnzl, and I like that, does it have just that one blade? Thx!
I have long admired Victorinox knives, but I like knives with only one spear-point blade, and possibly until right now depending on what you tell me, I haven't see any. Really like the grey color too.

That's a single blade Marco. I have one. Excellent knife. It's just called a Swiss Army AloxIMG_1990 (2).JPG

The Barlow is a Kabar 1013, fairly sure it is in the 1955-'65 era. Clip has half stop , the pen is rather lazy.
The metal handle is a Schrade, marked SCHRADE over N.Y. U.S.A. marked 752 on pile side. This stamp begins in 1973-? The engraving on the pile side are the words New York Knife Works over Walden over New York, the pile side is the large factory of New York Knife shown in lots of the research about NYKC. The Schrade 752 shows up on the internet with different business names and such.

The ad says the blade is 440C and the handle is Nylon Glass Fiber. Made in China of course. The blade springs open very
quickly and there is no wobble when open. Currently has a very nice edge on the blade. To close you press the lever on
the side and that releases the holding pin on the pivot end of the blade. Just another example of those odd knives in
my collection.

Those are great knives for the price, David, I've had mine for a couple years and even though I don't carry it, I "play" with it regularly and it's holding up just fine.
The Chinese sites put etched logos on theirs as being either a Colt brand or AKC, including the Bill DeShivs Leverletto on the blade. Feels great in my hand, fires smoothly, and makes a great comfort knife. Enjoy!

Thanks, Kerry, your close-up picture makes me want one even more.
Tips on where to get one, perhaps? Thx!

I got mine off of Amazon, Marco. It was six dollars more directly off of the Victorinox SA site. $28.00 USD, $22.00 off Amazon.

This one arrived yesterday from Tony at Corn Creek Cutlery. In a word, superb. The quality is impeccable. D2 steel, Micarta scales, half stop, imperceptible run-up: quite amazing quality for the price. While the shield is not to my taste, it is a very minor distraction.

OK, maybe it's just me ..... but that knife seems a little overly complicated for my limited intellectual capabilities ... it appears to me that the basics of rocket science are little easier to comprehend....

I've seen knives that didn't look "right" to me, but after an explanation they became clear, so nobody's gonna give you a whoopin', at least not over this, other "stuff" maybe, but not this!
