The Broker is a relatively uncommon 58mm Victorinox knife. It is very closely related to the well known Classic, but it has a very different appearance. The Broker has machined (or turned) Stainless Steel scales, without the Toothpick or Tweezer tools, and is one of the thinnest Swiss Army Knives. The Broker is very similar to the Ensign which does not have a keyring. Although reported to be discontinued, it is still (2008) available for purchase from several vendors.

Layer Tools

• Pen Blade
• Nail File with Nail Cleaner
• Scissors
• Keyring/Split-ring attachment point

Scales

Stainless Steel - It is only available in a grey/silver steel color, but different machined engraved patterns were produced. Some versions have an engraving panel; a small smooth area on one side of the scales.

Physical Specifications

• Length: 58mm
• Width: 5.1mm
• Weight: 19.9g

Variations

1. Different Guilloché designs have been engraved in the scales.
2. Brushed matte stainless steel finish is also available.
3. Less common, a version without an engraving panel, this may have been released much later than the more common version that includes the panel.

History

The Broker was likely first released in 198n? (the Broker is shown in SAB 1985 catalog). It is now retired, but it is not known when it was officially retired.

Although the SAB-1985 catalog shows and describes the Broker as not having a keyring, this was likely an error, and that configuration should have been labeled the Ensign. The SAB-1989 catalog shows both the Ensign and the Broker, with the Broker including a keyring as is common today.
