It is not the true one but it is very similar:
It lacks of a ring.
the Soldier Knife is different from the officiel Knife,more common.

I agree that this simple, elegant design is probably one of the best Swiss Army Knives out there. Unfortunately it’s missing tweezers! I can’t tell you how useful they are with splinters.
An aging Recruit model that I have is usually preferable for every day use because it has two blades, as the longer one is overkill for most tasks I use my knife for. I tend to use the smaller knife for everyday needs (opening boxes and packages, etc). The longer blade comes in handy for cutting up fruit and other foods as well as envelopes. It works out well as I wouldn’t want a knife used to cut up edibles to have been used to open dirty boxes or punch open the foil seals on the bottles of photo developing chemicals. The shorter knife is also more stable for non-food related tasks.
The metal case is definitely more durable and I love how it looks. My Recruit model’s plastic case has a bit broken off due to a particularly drop and I’ve had old knives where they’ve fallen off completely due to neglectful use.
All in all a great knife, but it is missing a few elements that keep me holding onto the plastic model.

This is the real thing not a plastic handled copy. Heavier blades and a good feel.

I have carried a Soldier everyday for the last 21 years. I replaced the first one after 20 years only because of my careless sharpening, otherwise it is as good as new.

I needed a small birthday gift for an Army veteran and the recipient was
quite pleased with it.
This is the best Swiss Army knife ever made. It is reported to be the sturdiest of all the knives, and has only the necessary tools. Perfect for daily use and as a gift to friends and family. It is reported to be the official army knife of Swiss soldiers and well proven.
I understand this model is in final production and there is a Limited Edition final production model which is somewhat more expensive. Amazon.com didn’t have it but I did see it on other sites which I was unsure of the safety, etc.
