Victorinox, the brand synonymous with the Swiss army knife, recently unveiled one of its most refined models to date: the Special Companion Damast Knife 2025. Founded in 1884 and still based in Switzerland, Victorinox continues to be celebrated for its quality and precision. Its iconic, and reliable, red pocketknife has been trusted by everyone from adventurers to everyday users. Now, with this latest release, the company showcases its ability to blend luxury design with its trademark functionality, crafting a limited-edition piece that appeals to everyone, even the most discerning aesthetes.
The design of this model is particularly impressive. The body of the knife features a smooth, white-speckled Corian handle – an elegant, durable material typically reserved for upscale interiors. This gives the tool a clean, polished look that contrasts beautifully with the distinctive pattern of the main blade. That blade, like those found in previous Damast editions, is forged from ultra-high-quality Damasteel. With a Svavner pattern running across its surface and a Rockwell hardness rating of 60 HRC, it offers both visual intrigue and practical durability. This kind of hardness means the blade is engineered to maintain a razor-sharp edge far longer than those made from standard metals.
In true Victorinox fashion, the knife offers much more than its luxe appearance. Alongside the Damasteel main blade, the tool also includes a smaller secondary blade, a corkscrew, a box opener with a 3mm screwdriver, a bottle opener with a 6mm screwdriver, and a wire stripper. For added utility, it features a reamer, punch, and sewing awl, along with a pair of scissors and a multipurpose hook. A key ring rounds out the compact yet capable profile of the knife.
Only 7,000 pieces of this special edition knife will be produced worldwide, and each will come individually numbered to confirm its authenticity. A certificate of authenticity is also included in the packaging, highlighting its status as a collector’s item.
