The Victorinox Baker's Knife, also known as the Bäckermesser, is different than other folding pocket knives by Victorinox, with a different style as well as tools. This knife, as it's name suggests, is aimed at the Pastry Chef for some of their delicate adornment work. It's curved serrated blade is unique to this knife, as is its folded length of 90.25mm. The knife has solid Red Alox scales. This knife is very thin at only 4.83mm and may be the thinnest Victorinox folding pocket knife currently in production (2008).

Layer Tools

• Large Blade; curved with a serrated edge - non-serrated versions available as well.

Scales

Red polished Alox with no logo are currently (2008) common. There have been many color variations in the handles over the years, some with Victorinox Logos, as well as with company name imprints (advertising).

Variations

1. A model with a non-serrated blade was produced as well. These seem to be pretty rare.
2. Most variations are different anodizing colors and advertising imprints. Several different colors have been manufactured over the years.
3. An early version non-serrated with Stainless Steel scales Elsener Schwyz/INOXYD tang is only 3.6mm wide (89.65mm in length). This would be one of the thinnest knives Victorinox has produced, other early single layer stainless steel scales knives would be the others.

History

These date back to very early Victorinox company history (Elsener Schwyz/INOXYD tang). This knife may have been one of the original knives Victorinox (maybe under earlier names) manufactured as a cutlery company for local industry.
