But i found one thing interessting: Could it be that back in the 90tes or 80tes, the Medium Size Victorinox where shorter than they are now? I have compare the Huntsman whit an 2 Layer whe have lying around in our bathroom (Spartan?) and its maybe a cm shorter ..
So, the Huntsman is 91 mm.  Sounds like your old “Spartan” is actually a Tourist, which has the identical tool set to the Spartan but is 84 mm long vs. the 91 mm Huntsman and Spartan.

   I found that the 84mm like the Tourist carried much better than a 91mm.  And did the same thing.  Doesn't look like much difference, but it sure feels different.  I had a couple of Recruits and they were almost the perfect carry SAK.  No back tools.  Smooth and light.  I might start carrying a Bantam for a while and see how that goes. 
   I didn't recall posting to the Huntsman Club site, but evidently I did.  Might need to post a Huntsman photo.  Best wishes.  G

Ah interessting, thanks for the Answer, i dont know who from my familiy did bough this knive back then, its lost its keyring holder sadly but still opens fine even though it was lying in the Drawer on this quite humit envroiment in the bathroom, it where a bit too small for my EDC but i can get it to my SAK Collection Board ..

Im still wonder why my Huntsman dont have the small glasses Screwdriver and the Needle, so i did borrow them from my other SAK..

As some of the tools are working better then on Swizza, I did decide today to get back to my black huntsman, but did swapped the scales whit these old blue transparent plus scales from the Swisschamp: even though they are scratched sadly, but we’ll, at least they don’t collect pocket dirt..

Might be I will order a new pair next week and then also an pen as I had to take one from the huntsman lite I also have..

Huntsman's in red are on Amazon in the U.S. currently for $33. It's the best deal on any SAK currently

Missed this club, even tho i have owned 2 Huntsman for while.

Upper one has hook on back so it is after 1991 and also has Economy scales. It is super stiff to use, i have tried to wash it with soap and mild water, WD-40 and only main blade came bit easier to open even tho still need super strong nails or other tool to open.
 
Lower one is older, seems to be around 1985-1990 since it has grooved corkcsrew, screw on scissors and awl has hole. This one is my user.

Well i have now also one, and i did put it allready on Skale: my Cybertool L (Rucksack EDC) is about 180 gramms (on an 160 kg max plattform Skale) whyle the Huntsmann inkluding the Missing Tools Victorinox did not get me (small Screwdriver in the Korkscrew and Needle) is now 100 gramms ..

Its a nice small 91 mm SAK sadly not on Blue but in Black which is also cool ..

But i found one thing interessting: Could it be that back in the 90tes or 80tes, the Medium Size Victorinox where shorter than they are now? I have compare the Huntsman whit an 2 Layer whe have lying around in our bathroom (Spartan?) and its maybe a cm shorter ..

Congratulations on your new Huntsman  :cheers:

Your shorter SAK may be an 84mm model.
