891. Pioneer (Model 2220 U)

The Victorinox Pioneer is one of from few models, which were announced more than 50 years ago, and they are still in production. This model has the same tools-set as the famous Soldier 1961.
Originally this knife was called Model 2220 U (U means bail / shackle), later, when Victorinox started to use separate names convention for them knives, it was renamed to Pioneer.
This knife is an old and vintage OC (old cross) model, it looks like another Pioneer from my collection, except absence of “PAT+” tang on can-opener.
