Victorinox Swiss Army – New Knives for Collectors, Bushcrafters

2023 Limited Edition Damast Knife

July 24, 2023 – Victorinox’s Swiss Army Knife unveils its annual 2023 Limited Edition Damast knife. This year’s knife is the Ranger 55 Mic Damast Limited Edition. The large 130 mm knife fuses a Damasteel® blade with light beige micata scales. The blade features a unique dense Damasteel® twist pattern adding to its bold design profile.

Victorinox crafted only 7000 numbered Limited Edition Ranger 55 Mic Damast knives worldwide, making them a collectible and sought-after piece. The Ranger 55 Mic Damast Limited Edition 2023 retails for ($385.00 US/$495.00 CAN) at Victorinox.com (US) or Victorinox Canada.

Each year, collectors and Victorinox fans eagerly await the launch of the latest Damast Limited Edition of the Swiss Army Knives. The 14th edition is special in regards to its blade and its scale. The blade is made from Damasteel®, produced in 320 layers, providing toughness and a beautiful characteristic Damascus blade pattern. The Damasteel® used for this knife cleverly combines corrosion resistance and strength. The scales are made from durable light beige micarta. 

The original Ranger 55 won the Red Dot Design award for its array of functional tools. Now the Ranger 55 Mic Damast Limited Edition 2023 utilizes that design and takes it to the next level; whether you use it for everyday adventures or keep it in mint condition in a collection is totally up to the individual. 

Damasteel® takes the traditional forging process of Damascus steel to the next level by using powder metallurgical steel manufacturing. This is a modern way to improve and refine the old tradition with the benefit of fewer impurities and inclusions compared to traditional Damascus steel. Damasteel® also provides increased toughness and edge retention compared to conventionally made steels. Then as now, the crowning highlight in the production of a Damascus steel blade is the finish. With careful grinding, polishing and etching, the unique and characteristic patterns are revealed, thereby providing a glimpse into the soul of the steel.
