407. Princess Dogbone (model 630)

This is a very rare Victorinox knife which actually doesn't have own name. Design of scales is absolutely different from well-known Victorinox scales. Collectors and enthusiasts called such shape "Dogbone". 
As SAKWiki said:
The unique shape of this knife was apparently developed for those unable to open a standard pocket knife with their finger nails. This shape allows the tools to be pinched an pulled open.
Only two models were developed with such scales:
- predecessor of Companion / Classic - also known as Duchess;
- predecessor of Princess / Escort (with Alox and stainless steel scales)

 Unfortunately, my knife is in a very poor condition, so I have to find another one. If you have such knife (or any other with Dogbone scales) please don't hesitate to contact me.
