1901 Models

• 

Like their predecessors of 1890, the "1901 Models" do not have any variants but we find the same small mechanical inaccuracies mentioned before..

 

Principal characteristics of "1901 Models" :

• Handle = wood fibres
• Blade = steel
• Closed length = 100mm
• Thickness = 20.5mm
• Weight = 144gm
• No vintage stamped on the blade (this only appeared in 1921).
• A simple Swiss Cross stamp on the handle representing the “Waffenkontrolle”, (same inaccuracies for position and direction as on previous models).

 

Features of "1901 Models" :

• It is the second generation of the Swiss Army soldier’s knife.
• It is similar in all respects to the "1890 models" except for the material of the handle.
