I'm looking at two SAKs in my collection. On one side of the main blade, they both say:

VICTORINOX
SWITZERLAND
STAINLESS
ROSTFREI

But on the other side I have one that says:

01

and one that says:

OFFICIER
SUISSE
 
Sorry I used my search feature like a good boy and found the answer. Please disregard
 
What he found out is that it is not a plus sign under an umberella but William Tell's crossbow. This symbol is put on Swiss products.
