Victorinox Swiss Army Knife (Compact Model or similar)

The item is a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, presented in its original packaging. The knife itself features a sleek, glossy black handle, likely made from cellidor or a similar durable polymer, characteristic of many Victorinox models. It appears to be a compact model, possibly a 'Compact' or 'Waiter' given its relatively slim profile, although the specific tool configuration is not fully visible. The iconic silver Victorinox cross and shield emblem is prominently displayed on the front scale of the knife, centered on the black handle. The knife is nestled within a custom-fitted white plastic or cardboard insert inside a rectangular box. The outer box is a light, neutral beige or tan color, with 'VICTORINOX' printed in black capital letters on the top flap. Below this, there is a distinct red, black, and white 'SWISS ARMY BRANDS LTD' logo. The overall presentation suggests the item is either new old stock or has been well-preserved with its original packaging, indicating excellent condition with no visible wear, damage, or patina on the knife or the box. The craftsmanship is typical of Victorinox, known for its high-quality stainless steel tools and precise assembly. The item's age would be contemporary, as the 'Swiss Army Brands Ltd.' logo was used from 1999 onward for the North American market.
