Officer's knife

Elsener wanted to make an official Swiss Army Knife for officers as well, and began producing them. But the Swiss government decided that officers would still have the soldier's knife they got when they joined the Army and decided not to give Elsener the contract. Still, the company produced officer's knives for years, and this is one from 1931.
