Thanks to the smart pairing of undeniable functionality and daring aesthetic, Victorinox Swiss Army knives have garnered quite the reputation since the brand got its start over 130 years ago. And that reputation will certain get a boost on March 18 when Victorinox Swiss Army releases its most luxurious interpretation of the Swiss army knife yet: A limited edition Alox silhouette in “champagne gold.”

Swiss-based and born, Victorinox is best known for its pocket knives, but it also produces high-quality household and professional knives, watches, travel gear, and fragrances. Today, however, it’s about the tried and true.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Limited Edition Collection in Champagne Gold

If you’re not up to date with the limited edition Alox collection, you may have heard about its silver edition released last year that sold out faster than you could say “pocket knife.” Nonetheless, Victorinox’s limited edition Alox is back in champagne gold with three sizes, a distinctive rubbed surface for enhanced style and grip, and personalized tools to cater to your needs.

The scales of each gold swiss army knife are punched from aluminium, embossed, and then anodized for its finished appearance. The process uses a sturdy, anodic oxidation that forms a protective layer over the finished outer layer to prevent damage and corrosion, as well as gives the scales its color.

The Pioneer design is the cream of the crop in the Alox family. Not only does this large gadget supply you with a reliable everyday blade, this model also offers a reamer for widening or filling drilled holes, a small yet useful screwdriver, a bottle opener with another screwdriver, a wire stripper, and a key ring.

All of the models in the Victorinox gold swiss army knife collection have been released before, but never in this fashion. The champagne gold gives this already proven pocket knife an exceptionally stunning aesthetic. We recommend you hop on this one now because we’re pretty sure each of these knives will sell out quick.
