The Victorinox Ambassador is a 74mm Swiss Army knife. It is a slightly larger version of the well-known 58mm Classic, although normally does not include a keyring.

Early North American brochures list an Alox scaled version, without a keyring, as the Lady Victoria.

History and Variations

1. Manufactured with, and without, the keyring.
2. The Lady Victoria, with smooth Alox scales and no keyring, appears to be the first version of this model available in North America and the name appears to predate the Ambassador name. It was also (later?) sold as the Ambassdor 2 in North America. See the 1980 SMICO catalog for an example.
3. Smooth Alox scales were popular as advertising/promotional knives. This black Alox version is an example of a promotional model sold into the premiums market.
4. Two sets of five special scale designs were used in the Victorinox Collections No. 1 and No. 2 series
5. Satin gold-plated handles - No toothpick, tweezers, or keyring, packaged in a hard case jewelry box.
6. Diamond-cut gold handles - Features an embossed Swiss shield on the top scale, no toothpick or tweezers, packaged in a hard case jewelry box.
7. Mother of pearl handles - No keyring, toothpick or tweezers.
8. Imitation mother of pearl handles - Packaged in a luxury box. Named the Consol (0.6502.08) in this 1980 Canadian catalog.
9. The 1988/89 RocKnives Series included six stone scaled Ambassador models without toothpick or tweezers.
10. Early Victoria 14kt gold version (6g gold content) - see image above
