This model used to be called the Golfer - but there were many different models that used this same name.

There was an earlier Golfer with a similar configuration but sized at 84mm (3 1/4") but I think it was discontinued before the ballpoint pen in the handle (post-1985).

The one in the photo is an earlier model (and probably called the Golfer) as it doesn't seem to have the multi-purpose hook - pre-1991.
(so it's probably between 1985-1991)

Which is,I believe, discontinued!
Haven't seen it in any shop for quite some time now, and it isn't on their site, or in any folder I've seen recently.
Seems there's only the Time Keeper now; same model with a small watch embedded in one of the handles.
The Compact has long been my favorite "Sunday" SAK. Over the years I've lost several /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif If I lose my current one, I'm up a certain creek with a paddle deficit, I fear...

Really? I'll have to take your word for it.

The photo I posted is from the Swiss Army Brands web site and they appear to show it (obviously) as a current model.

Here's the listing:

If you're really worried about it being unavailable - there are numerous sources listed when I just did a search with www.froogle.com - use the following search term:
victorinox compact knife -signature -classic -card -manager -companion
(trust me - as "Compact" is a very common term and lots of other models will show up if you don't use all those '-' minus signs).

or use
Victorinox 54941
for some different vendors.

From this evidence alone I am inclined to think perhaps it isn't discontinued?

Had a quick look with Google and Froogle, and I'm only finding American sites. Maybe you can only get one Stateside now?
It wasn't on Victorinox.com (but there's more knives missing there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif ) Plus I haven't seen it in any shop for quite a while, and I'll never just walk past a knives/multitools/flashlight display /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'll have a proper look next time I'm in a German city (they're cheaper there anyway). It would be a fine state of affairs if I'll have to get my Swiss knives from the USA!! Maybe I'll better send an email to Victorinox (good for practicing my german too).

Mark,

Often a country's importer discontinues a SAK while Victorinox still makes them. Also not every country imports every SAK model.

So perhaps the Compact has been discontinued as an import for Germany and Netherlands?

I would be very interested in hearing the response you get from Victorinox.

The model # I gave was the US #,
the Swiss/international # for the Compact is: 1.3405

BTW - as you visit Germany - perhaps you can check to see if the very sought after (in the US) Victorinox Scientist is still available?

Scientist

Swiss/international model # 1.6305

I was looking for a scientist for months in Germany (well, only on-line, maybe I should walk to each and every little shop around here). But at least I know where to find the compact !

Offiziersmesser COMPACT , rot (91mm)
Artikelnummer: 1.3405 Stück
16,60 EUR

http://www.messerjoker.de/template/

(go to 91 mm Taschenmesser).

By the way: how much does it weights the Scientist ?

Grand! So I can obviously still get them in Germany.
I'll just bookmark that link in case I lose one again, or drop another Swisstool down a train toilet /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
No need to mail Victorinox now,I guess.

Sorry this took so long - I don't have accurate weighing scales at home
and had to go to the post office to use their weighing machine.

My customized Scientist weighed 2.3oz or about 65gms.
