The 1936 Soldier Swiss Army knife produced by Victorinox and Wenger was similar to the 1935 Soldier from the previous year. The same design continued on the 1937 Soldier. Some knives are marked with a P, indicating they were a private-issue knife purchased by a soldier as a replacement or additional knife. A few private-issue knives are in stainless steel.
