In 2012 Victorinox initiated an exciting new approach to designing this series.
Each year there is a Classic Limited Edition Design Contest open to the general public to submit designs for the front and back scales of the Classic Swiss Army Knife. Victorinox shortlist a number of designs and then the general public vote on the shortlist. The most popular ten designs go into production. This has resulted in some very creative, attractive and innovative scales for the Classic.
Starting in 2017 Victorinox set a theme for design contest:
2017: Animals of the World; 2018: Places of the World; 2019: Food of the World;
2020: Sports of the World; 2021: Patterns of the World.
Since 2022 there has been no design contest or special release, although Victorinox has stated that the competition may be reinstated at a late date.
