Classic Red Cellidor Appraisal

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife (Classic Red Cellidor)

This is a standard multi-tool pocket knife, identifiable as a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. The item measures approximately 91mm (3.5 inches) in length, featuring the iconic red Cellidor (plastic) scales. The construction consists of several folding stainless steel tools sandwiched between aluminum liners, secured by brass rivets. Notable markings include the Victorinox shield logo on the front scale, which in this instance shows significant fading and wear, leaving only a silver-tone shadow of the original cross and shield design. A small lanyard ring is located at the tail end. The overall condition is well-used; the red plastic scales exhibit heavy 'pocket wear' including numerous fine scratches, scuffs, and a dulling of the original high-gloss finish. There are no immediate visible cracks in the scales, but the surface shows significant patina from handle-time. The visible stainless steel blades and tools tucked inside appear to have some minor debris accumulation, suggesting a need for cleaning. Based on the shield design and general wear, this is likely a late 20th-century or early 21st-century model, approximately 15-30 years old. The craftsmanship is typical of the high-quality industrial standards set by the Swiss manufacturer, featuring the characteristic spring tension and precision-fit tool layout.
