937. Climber (Helvetia)
This beautiful Victorinox Climber I’ve also received from my friend Reinier few years ago. It’s a regular model, nothing special at all, but anyway – pure white color of the scales and awesome print of Helvetia makes it unique and valuable for me…
Helvetia is to Switzerland what Marianne is to France and Lady Liberty is to the United States: the female personification of the country’s soul and spirit. She is depicted as a tall and stately woman clad in flowing robes, a shield in her left hand, a spear in her right, and her hair plaited into a crown encircling her head together with a laurel wreath. Today, Helvetia’s noble and graceful figure is etched into Swiss coins and postage stamps. (from here)
