For several years Victorinox has produced an annual release for the Asian market featuring animals from the Chinese Zodiac. These models come in luxurious display boxes that normally feature a design that is continuous with the pattern on the knife.
The issues are all limited editions, with a serial number under the corkscrew.
Since 2014 Victorinox has also produced non-numbered models for the European market. (Since at least 2017 all knives have a serial number under the corkscrew in the format XXXX/XXXX.)
