Victorinox Scientist

I'd give anything to get my old Scientist back. Carried it for 20 years; just couldn't lose that thing, until the new style pockets on pants came out, from which all things in the pockets slide out when you sit down. I bet it's inside some chair somewhere, but it wouldn't be worth top dollar, as it is mighty battle-scarred from over 2 decades of use. I would probably buy a mod, if it were exactly like the original.

I'd bet the challenge might be finding the original magnifying glass which was embedded in grey plastic. I learned early on, that it works much better when you hold it up to your eye, it's damn-near a microscope when you use it that way.

scour ebay for older champions or explorers, those older types are out there!

i think victorinox should re-release the scientist and the yeoman, in both cellidor and alox!

About 5 years ago I bought off of ebay a new looking "Scientist", though I suspect it was a mod. I've never used it, though I love the tool selection. But you might be able to find a modded version, or get something similar.

Yep I still buy new or nearly new condition old style explorers on ebay to get the old style mag glass. They haven't been too hard to find. Vic champions also a good option.
