I see a similar one posted on this site from a few years back. Well over 100 years old and made for only one year. I plan on doing a detailed article for Knife Magazine in the upcoming months I love the history of these knives, very fascinating

Very proud of this one
Awesome knife!! :D

Original 1st edition 100mm Swiss Soldier knife. Manufactured by Wester & Co, Solingen in 1890-91 (model 1890), first year production before Elsener took over in Switzerland. You can see the small scribed Swiss cross control stamp on the backside scale.

It was fun breaking it out again, it still has great SNAP!
