The Pocket Pal was a common Victorinox knife. The simple twin bladed design makes it a favorite of people looking for a slim, lightweight knife. While technically being an 84mm knife, the Pocket Pal does not conform to the regular shape of most Victorinox 84mm SAKs, it is thinner with more tapered ends, and no backspring tools

The Pocket Pal was retired and replaced by the Excelsior, which adds a keyring to this configuration, in the late 201xs.

Name Disambiguation:

A 58mm Pocket Pal was made during the 1960s.
