In the mid 2000s (?) the prominent US dealer the Smoky Mountain Knife Works (SMKW) commissioned the Wildlife Series of Swiss Army Knives from Victorinox. The series has some unique features:

  • The models were exclusive to SMKW - At least initially
    • However, in 2009 they started to be available from a few other dealers as remaining stock was being cleared out
  • They all featured a picture of a well known North American native wild animal printed on the scales
  • They were non-standard 91mm models with unique toolsets
  • They had the very unusual feature of the small screwdriver replacing the back-spring reamer/awl - that is common to nearly all 91mm Swiss Army Knives


The Four Models in the Series were:

  • American Eagle - Transparent blue scales with an eagle. Similar toolset to the Tinker
  • Bass Fishing - Transparent blue scales with a bass fish. Similar toolset to the Angler/Fisherman
  • Wild Turkey - Green scales with a turkey. Similar toolset to the Hiker
  • Whitetail Deer - Green scales with a deer. Similar toolset to the Hiker, but with an additional layer.
