In 1991 Victorinox released a Special Edition series dedicated to the 700 Years Anniversary of Switzerland (700 Jahre Eidgenossenschaft).

This series consisted of three models: a Classic SD, a Spartan and a Huntsman.

The front scales of the Classic and the Huntsman models feature a metal inlay picture of The Rütli Oath (Rütlischwur) meeting (see History here), the Swiss flag and the lettering Confoederatio Helvetica 1291 - 1991. The scale of the Spartan model was decorated with an image of William Tell with his son (based on the monument in the city of Altdorf in the canton of Uri) and the lettering 1291 - 1991 on the front scale.

The knives in the series were not numbered.

Beyond the initial series a Sportsman model, (without a keyring) was released, decorated with an image of William Tell with his son and the lettering 1291 - 1991 on the front scale. It was sold as a part of a kit that also contained a cassette tape with Swiss music. Also known to exist was an Ambassador model with a picture of the Rütli Oath meeeting, the Swiss flag and the lettering Confoederatio Helvetica 1291 - 1991 on the front scale (see External References below).

According to the MultiTool.org thread, a serialised Climber model was also released - it was the only model marked with a serial number.

Discontinued models.
