Victorinox Golfer Swiss Army Knife 1.3408 (US 53811) - Discontinued, Not Forgotten

[@stephengaren2219]

I have a 91mm and 84mm Golfer in my collection. Took a while to get an 84mm at a nice price. But I finally did.

Very nice!

[@hitchpost5822]

My understanding of the timeline of the Golfer to the Compact is as follows, the original Golfer was 84mm. Next came the 91mm, when they added the parcel hook, originally without the file it’s name was changed to the Compact. At the same time they came out with the first Golfer with an actual golf tool. One more addition to this family was the Timekeeper, a Compact with a analog clock in the front scale also originally without the file in the parcel hook. I was lucky enough to secure an example of each iteration. If more or different information about the timeline or any of the models is known please share it with the community. Thank you Matt for the video.

Awesome information brother 🙏🏻❤️

I think I have an example of every model in the evolution of the Compact. I should note that the first 84mm Golfer had a small blade instead of the combo tool.

[@hitchpost5822]

@@xrysoryba Interesting I was not aware of that version. I think I have seen an 84mm Golfer with a screwdriver/cap lifter instead of the combination tool.

[@xrysoryba]

@@hitchpost5822 You are probably thinking of the Voyageur. It's a 2-layer 84mm alox model with blade and scissors. It originally had the cap lifter in the same layer with the blade, but later changed to the combo tool. So it was basically an alox Golfer - minus the cork screw and scale tools of course.

@@xrysoryba You are probably right 👍 thanks

Not for me personally this particular SAK but nice video dude

[@SlipjointSawyer]

Thanks for watching!

[@zednotzee7]

The only possible connection to Golf as far as I can see is if the 19th Hole has lost it's corkscrew and bottle opener and the draft beer has run out. owner of this knife is desperate for a drink... Other than that though, it is a nice EDC option anyway.

[@SlipjointSawyer]

[@RandysWSG]

Hope it's to too terrible of a cut :/ Great knife Slippy!

[@SlipjointSawyer]

Just a bad pinch from pliers 😅
