Anyone know what model this is?

I'm looking for the thinnest, full size SAK that has scissors. Found this one on ebay but it's from Australia and I'd like to do some more hunting before I buy another one.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

I bought one of those for my youngest Daughter. It's marked as an Officers Model on the knife.

It is probably a Compact (91mm about 3.5"), there is a slight chance that it is a rare early 84mm (about 3.25") Golfer (if the bidders start coming out of the wood work and going nuts on the price...). Compacts usually come with the mini screwdriver in the corkscrew (but that was not always the case and they are easy to lose).

dalee100 all Victorinox 91mm and 84mm knives have "Officier Suisse" on the tang as their designs are all "descended" from the original Officers Knife. The 58mm, 74mm, 93mm (Alox, Soldier/Pioneer/Farmer), 108mm and 111mm do not, as they are "descended" from or originators of different knife styles (kind of like a Stockman comes from a Cattleman, but neither are related to a Trapper, a Peanut or a Lockback).
 
Prehook Compact, or, like what the above poster said, a Golfer.

Most likely a Golfer, judging from the battery for scale comparison.

Weird name for that knife, Golfer. What specific golfing purposes does it really serve?
 
Victorinox sometimes uses arbitrary names. It wouldn't surprise me that some higher up at Vic decided he wanted a knife to carry while golfing and told the factory guys to make him one. I know the Golfer started as an 84mm like the one pictured, then switched the divot tool for the combo tool, then went to a 91mm and then the Golf Tool of today.
 
Hi,

Thank you sunshaker for learnin' me:D:thumbup:. There is an awful lot I need to learn about SAK's.

Thanks for the info guys. I ended up picking up a "Compact" off ebay for a good price.

Also grabbed a 4 pack of the mini keychain SAK's for $10. I always end up giving mine away. At that price I couldn't say no...
