Victorinox Compact Knife 1991

The first version of the Victorinox Compact Swiss Army Knife was a spin-off from the original Golfer knife. It added a hook and straight pin and got a new name, while the Golfer itself morphed into a newer version with a divot repair tool that was actually designed for golfing.

This variation of the Compact was only in production for about a year, when it was replaced with a slightly newer Compact knife that used the new riveted scissors instead of a scissors screw.

The very original Compact model is extremely scarce, and it sells at a premium price for collectors. If you just want a practical pocket knife, get a modern Compact instead.
