Lucky rare find - 232k, cellidor “voyageur”
on: March 12, 2026, 07:58:36 AM
Some time ago I spotted an unusual knife as part of a 6 knives lot on ebay named just "Victorinox and Wenger", without further description.
It laid next  to a knife which was clearly a Bantam, so the length seemed to be 84mm and there were visible closed scissors (the seller did not provide pictures with opened implements) so it picked my interest and I decided to bid on it. Luckily there was only lukewarm interest in the bidding so I won it at a reasonable price.

When it arrived it was indeed 84mm model with scissors- actually my first such thing. The toolset was very interesting- large blade with Elinox tang stamp, bottle opener and scissors, no back tools. The inner liner seems to be nickel silver.
The tools are in great shape, almost unused. The scales are unfortunately somewhat marred - there  are two chips and the grey areas on the pictures are not mechanically damaged, but seem to be effect of some glue or a chemical solvent and the T&T is missing. Life is just not perfect 😀, but overall it is not in a bad shape.
Regarding the model I identified it as a cellidor version of voyageur - 232ka, the older version with bottle opener, not combo tool. I found wonderful additional information in this old thread https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,84247.msg2103402.html#msg2103402
And as well Elsinox provided lot of very useful information in one of his great Elsi Post about this specific model, where he states that this is rather rare model so I wanted to share this find.

Lovely!  Thanks for sharing your knife, which I guess is like an 84 mm Golfer without the backside tools.  Very lucky find and I'm glad it has gone to a good home.

This is one of the ones the "got away" for me. I have a couple of the Victoria version, and finally found the Elinox version several years ago. In fact, literally this exact same knife with the black scales. The seller would only ship to Europe so I had it sent to family in Italy. They shipped it to the wrong address here in the US and the knife was never seen again. 

If anyone ever want to trade one of these for something, LMK.

Great find and what an unusual configuration and pretty nice model that would sit really well in a pocket.

@JB - What a bummer  :o    :cry:

I am assuming that this is a promotional model.
I think you quite often find that promotional models have unusual/non-standard tool configurations - At least 'in the old days'

PS. @Z1913

I guess the tp and tw can be replaced - although age of tools would not match
And you could clean up the scales with some high grit sandpaper and metal polish
