The Late 1990's version of the Victorinox Angler Swiss Army Knife is similar to the modern Angler knife, but it has the earlier type of pliers that don't have a crimper built into the handle.

This model would have been produced during the late 1990's, up until the newer pliers were introduced in 2002.

NOTE-- We have not yet seen any examples of this variation on the modern Angler knife, and haven't seen it in any of the Victorinox catalogs. The original Angler knife had scissors instead of pliers, and it's possible that Victorinox didn't make the switch until after the newer pliers were available.

Angler Deluxe-- adds scissors (retired and rare)
Angler Late 1990's-- older style pliers with no crimper (retired)
