Looking for some help in identifying this symbol/logo on a small Victorinox knife I own. It looks kind of like an alien skull or maybe something from Mario's video game world. It is a metal inlay.

I think it's three aliens looking out at the moon.

Well, the SAK boys don't know either. Here's his reply.
"I have no idea what that logo is for. It's been posted on our forum and no one really has a guess.
I would suggest that it's a coprorate logo for someone and that these were dong as a special order, but beyond that I have no idea."

Nope. Since he's dyed in the wool SAK and the SAK version of our very own Dimitri, I figured maybe he had run onto it before.

Thanks for all the help guys. I had thought about the Punisher but knew it was different. I still think it might be some kind of Alien symbol. I collect Victorinox Classics with corporate or company logos and sometimes come across symbols that are hard to identify. More suggestions?

Today, I did a Google image search for "three eyed skull" and perused greater than fifty screen pages with no match. I quit looking when the matches started making no sense and weren't three eyed skulls.
Then I did a Google image search for "Swiss Army Knife Logos" and looked at about fifty screen pages. No matches, including this photo you just posted. Go figure.
Then I tried a Google image search for "SAK Logos" and I got so tired of looking at Saks Fifth Avenue stuff, I stopped.
So, I was of no help.

Thanks, I appreciate the try anyway.

If I ever find out what it is I will post the answer here. I have this posted in a couple of Forums.

I've designed a fair number of logos for various companies and they usually either have the main initials of the company or a representation of what the company is all about.
To decipher this one has to determine which direction the logo faces.One of the first things that came into my mind is that it might represent an Olympic podium where the gold medalist is in the center surrounded by the silver and bronze medalists.
Turning it 90 degrees counterclockwise it somewhat resembles three C's in a group(think Cattaraugus Cutlery Company).
What is strange is that logos that are this simple in design usually represent a well known company and this is nothing I've ever seen. So then you may have to determine which country in was destined for.
I also have quite a few SAK's with customer names and logos on them including one that has a shamrock in lieu of the SAK emblem and the name "O' Laughlin" inset in the opposite side. Strangely enough the scales are black rather than green.
Good luck with your quest.

Well, I never have found out what this symbol means. The Victorinox classic line usually has the logo lined up the same way as the Victorinox shield. Any fresh ideas here?

Total shot in the dark here but perhaps it represents the Trinity ???? (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)
