No. 202 1/2

history

Victorinox produced model no. 202 ½ between around 1940 and 1970. In principle, it was the basic model no. 200, except that a narrow screwdriver was fitted instead of the can opener. Victorinox manufactured the No. 202 ½ model using carbon steel or stainless steel tooling.

Why this special designation "1/2" was chosen is unclear. Possibly there were simlayer too few numbers between No. 200 (soldier's knife) and No. 205 (officer's knife).
