Hello everybody! I hope you're all doing good.

I'm looking into getting as much information as possible regarding this kind of pocket knives.
What is this style called? Is it possible to purchase the same knife? A friend of mine had one years ago and he was very happy with it as an EDC knife.

Any information about where to get a bunch of those for a reasonable price would be appreciated!

I believe those are Victorinox model 50/1, also known as the "Beginner" (single blade). They came in several varieties of handles (picture below), and are long discontinued. Perhaps you can find some pre-owned ones for sale, or find something similar.

It looks like the one and two bladed Victorinox versions with plastic scales are discontinued, but if you look on the bay there are a lot of Pocket Pals to be found.

Current production includes the Alox single blade:

Other makers offered this pattern, it was pretty common.
 
Generically, that would be called an "equal end, bare headed, pen knife".
Equal end means that both ends have the same shape.
Bare headed means that there are no bolsters.
Pen knives have two blades, a large blade which is either a spear or a clip and a smaller pen blade.

Agree that it appears to specifically be a Victorinox Pocket Pal.
 
You could also search for a Victorinox Secretary or Wenger Patriot which are similar two bladed knives.
