History

From 2017 Victorinox only produced liner-locking 111mm models, however the liner-locking Centurion, which had an equivalent toolset to the Adventurer was removed from the catalogue, and the Adventurer remained, but as a liner-locking model. So, in practice the Centurion was renamed to become the Adventurer, and the original version of the Adventurer was retired!
Prior to 2017 both models had been available for several years.

Variations

All variations are of the slide-lock version:

1. Boy Scouts of America (BSA) version with the BSA logo screen printed on the scales.
2. Boy Scouts of America version with the BSA logo and a serrated blade.
3. BGS (Bundesgrenzschutz = German Border Police) version: Has a white German Eagle on olive drab scales and 'BUND' etched onto the blade. This was the official knife of the German Border Police until they adopted the Trailmaster.
