The Victorinox Mauser is a 108mm Swiss Army Knife that was made for the German market where the Mauser company is a prominent firearms manufacturer. Victorinox licensed the Mauser name, and the knife was sold along side Mauser products. The knife is based on the German Army Issue knife, the GAK, and adds a clip-point blade to the tool selection. Unusual for a Swiss Army Knife, but common to all the 108mm series, all the tools open in the same direction. The main layer tools pivot at the same end of the knife (top) making them very intuitive and quick to get accustomed to.
