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 agree with nate. You have a Tourist. Best wishes. G

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..
