The 1959 Soldier Swiss Army knife produced by Victorinox and Wenger was similar to the 1958 Soldier from the previous year. This was the final year for this version of the Soldier, although Wenger produced a few special versions in later years. There were no Soldier knives produced with a 1960 year stamp. The 1961 Soldier was the same size, but with aluminum alox scales and a different toolset.
