The Victorinox Climber Swiss Army Knife is one of the most popular of the standard-size models. This variation is the last of the "transitional" knives between the original Climber and the modern Climber knife.

It still has one vintage feature-- scissors that are attached with a screw rather than a rivet. Some people prefer these knives to the modern Climbers, since the scissor tension can be adjusted, and it's easier to remove the blades for sharpening.

These knives were manufactured for a couple years after the introduction of the hook in 1991. They are not extremely rare, and they are not old enough to be collectible, so we only sell them at a slight premium above the standard Climber knives.
