No. 201

history

Victorinox produced model no. 201 accableing to catalogs from around 1900 to around 1970. Instead of the awl, this model had a corkscrew, compared to the basic model no. 200. Although this model was made for a very long time, it is comparatively rare.

The original models had a corkscrew without a soul. The attachment of the corkscrew to the foot rivet was special compared to the corkscrew on the army knife, where it was fixed with the center rivet. This was much more practical when using the corkscrew than with model no. 201. This may have been one reason why model no. 201 was only produced and sold in very small numbers.
