Classic steel

From Uncrate:
Take a trip back to 1891 with the Victorinox Swiss Army 125th Anniversary Heritage Knife ($495). Limited to just 1884 individually numbered units, the Heritage is a replica of the 1891 "Soldier's Knife" made by Karl Elsener for the Swiss Army. It features a large blade, punch, can opener, screwdriver, ebony hardwood handles, a certificate of authenticity, and will arrive in collectible commemorative packaging.
If you're not a collector but want the same array of tools, there's the Soldier. I have one; slim, simple, elegant and very durable with its Alox handles.

Alternatively, there's also the New Soldier with locking, one-hand-open blade, some extra tools, and what looks like green synthetic handles. Don't have one, but it appears more modern and apt for campers, hikers, and hunters.
