History

The Altimeter became available in about 2000 and originally had the regular bottom scale. US model 53955 appears to be a later version with the new 'digital' bottom scale that holds all four scale tools: The removable ballpoint pen; toothpick; small tweezers; and straight pin.

The original version of the Altimeter Plus also came with the regular bottom scale and included the fine screwdriver on the reverse - US Model 53944.

The Altimeters were withdrawn in 2008, being replaced by the Traveller, which contains all digital functions (clock, timer, altimeter, barometer) in one digital unit

Variations

The Altimeter Plus Expedition Set model came with a leather case; a Maglite Solitaire; and a compass/level/ruler. This knife in this set included the back side fine screwdriver, tweezers, pen, pin, and eyeglass/jewelers screwdriver - US Model 53522.
