The Dual Pro X model (pictured right), was announced a few months after the Dual Pro, and features a plain-edged, rather than partially serrated main blade, and a Phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew.
The 2010 Dutch Army Knife (DAK) has a nearly identical tool configuration, differing from the Dual Pro only in the substitution of the Phillips screwdriver for the corkscrew; and the scales (handles), which are not dual-density.
The Dual Pros were withdrawn in 2017

Scales
The Grip Series introduced new dual density injection molded scales, that provide a softer textured feel, and better grip. These scales are red and black coloured versions of the injection molded scales, first introduced with the 2008 Soldier model, using Polyamide 6 and TPE-U for the softer (red) material.

- Two models of the Dual Pro are available the:
- Dual Pro and the

History
Information about the DAK was released early in 2010 - It was the first Victorinox knife to feature two OHO blades.
The Dual Pros were introduced later that year, as part of the Grip Series.
They appear to be withdrawn as of 2017.
