Most likely a Ranger. Chisel and screwdriver on the back means it's got a saw and a file.
The Ranger has a saw AND a file, this one seems to lack the saw.

It's exactly what hiraethus said earlier

Classic thing with the wood saw not being opened, I guess the lack of the nail nick makes it easier to overlook, however I'm still perplexed how one could miss it. Then again as I've said sometimes many people seem to miss tools being bent, scissors not moving, liners being smashed and the like, or I have more stringent standards of good working condition. Now back to topic, it is indeed most likely a Ranger, but if you're buying do ask for better pics, I've had two knives arrive that looked just fine in the pics, but had aforementioned issues, luckily they were pretty cheap, and even more importantly they got warrantied.though I'm still waiting for my Matterhorn Plus, they aren't kidding with the 1-3 months in Switzerland, 91mm may have a facility in your country which should be reasonably fast, ask the local importer. My point was that receiving a poor condition knife isn't necessarily a disaster, especially if you're not seeking a collectible.Well that got kinda long, but I just wanted give some thoughts and tips on buying used from less known sellers.
Hi everybody, new guy here. Can anyone help me identify this Victorinox, it's being advertised as a Mountaineer, but it does not appear to be one due to the additional backside tools. Thanks.
