However, I’d like to know what kind. It has a little image of a jet on it (well, some aircraft, looks like a jet to me). It is either a 3 1/4 or a 3 1/2 inch knife. It has:
toothpick
Tweezers
Small blade
Large Blade
Phillips Screw driver
Scissors
Can opener with small screw driver
file
Bottle opener with large screwdriver and wire stripper
Reamer
Wood saw
And one unidentified object.
Anyone know what it is?
My family agrees that it looks like a space shuttle. Please! Anybody! If someone has the correct answer, I’ll choose you as best answer!
Congrats for your catch!
According to your toollist, it might be a Huntsman Lite, though you didn’t mention the led-light.

Earlier Victorinox versions might look a little different than the current line or even lack the tweezers and toothpick (like the Spartan knive 20 years ago), but besides this, from a functionality point of view, the models are still the same.
Check out the toolfinder search from Victorinox to trace down the accual identity of your knive.

As for the little picture, the former quality-logo of swiss made products was an crossbow – this may resemble an airpane.
Other than that, every client can order knives with his own ad/logo.
