Alright folks, this is my kind of challenge. I'm going to take inspiration from TES on strategy but I know I will not be able to rival his mad photography skills.   Most of El Collection is discontinued so this will be fun for me. I will start with El Yeoman.  It was discontinued EXACTLY in YYYY.   :D  El best guess is 99, before the key ring moved, but it might even be before that.

HERE WE GO!!!

Before joining this forum, I had never heard of the Yeoman and now have multiple copies including a new in box.  :)

I love to hear about discontinued models.  My contribution to this thread is the Super Timer...



One Internet source I checked said that the Timer and Super Timer were introduced in 1992 and discontinued in 2007.  The Super Timer is based on the Swiss Champ.

Thanks for stopping in, everyone!  :cheers:  I'm gonna try to show as many discontinued models as I can, but might have to include some discontinued versions of some models still in production.

Best SAK ever made! Period.  I carried one of those for years. I saved my money up all summer long working in the hay fields pitching square bales when I was a kid. I had used it so much I had to send it to Vic a few times to have it refurbished. Sadly gone now. It got lost in the very same fields I worked in when I was baling the hay. 15 years later.
