The Victorinox SwissTool was introduced in 1997. Later on several modifications with different set of tools were released (Version X – with scissors and RS – with belt-cutter). Original version (regular SwissTool) also had a lot of small modifications due to the evolution of tools. The last known (for me) modification – is a current one, when serrated blade changed own shape from regular to the wharncliffe blade.
The Victorinox Mountaineer Lite is a relatively rare 5-layers 91-mm knife, which based on more common Mountaineer model. Addon “Lite” in it’s name means (as you already know! ;)) that this knife has an additional layer with LED light and inline Phillips screwdriver.
Interesting fact: Mountaineer Lite is a unique model, which was produced only in blue transparent scales.
First of all I have to say, that probably I was wrong and this knife is a another modification of Fischermesser. If you’ll compare images of actual knife with the pictures from Victorinox catalogs (see below), you will find several differences.
I summary – I don’t know what exactly this model is. I never saw it before and I couldn’t find any information about this knife yet.
So any your help (with identifying this knife) will be very appreciated!
P.S. Knife was repaired (replacing of both blades, new scales) by my friend Ivan.

There are no too much information about this model in the web, even in SAKWiki, dedicated page was added just few monts before (Dec-2015).
So, this knife is a relatively rare model from 60-70s years of previous century. It has Elinox tang and shield. One of key features of this knife – technician screwdriver, which was present just on couple of models.
Unfortunately, my knife is in bad condition, – it has reshapened blade. If you have the same model in better condition and would like to sell/trade it, – please contact me.
Victorinox CyberTool 34 (now this model also known as CyberTool M) is a 5-layer model, specially designed for computer enthusiasts with optimal (in my opinion) set of tools.
