What did I buy? (sopuli.xyz)

Looks like a Climber, but has no hook and nothing on the scales. There is a mark where there was a triangular loho.

It's 91mm. I guess it is a pre '85 Climber, with no tweezers, toothpick, sewing hole in the awl and hook.

I'm already 3D printing plus scales for it and put in an order for a toothpick, tweezers and pen.

That certainly sounds plausible. There were also apparently promotional variants of these which did not have the Victorinox cross logo printed on the scales, in preparation for being engraved or silkscreened with the customer's logo or whatever.

It does have a cross logo, which can be barely seen.

That is quite tough to see.

So, not a promotional one, just worn. Definitely an early one, before the additional features were added.
