History
Several photos on the internet showed the Huntsman Lite as not having the fine screwdriver, so there may be some early models without that tool.
Variations
Boxed Set Huntsman Lite - See images above
In September 2006 Victorinox produced a special limited edition of the Huntsman Lite with plus scales and a mini-screwdriver. The knife is numbered nnnn/1111, on the liner behind the corkscrew. It came in a 8" x 6.5" plexiglass and aluminum hinged presentation case. The knife is tucked inside the pocket of a 4" x 6" piece of what appears to be a swatch of denim, and attached with a metal chain from the knife's key ring to the belt loop of the the 'jeans', which hold a decorative leather belt.
The presentation case also contains two Swiss postage stamps: One of 100 centimes, picturing the 1890 Soldiers Knife; the other of 130 centimes, depicting the new ruby translucent Huntsman Lite, such as the one in the case. The stamps are mounted on a small metal plaque (2.25" x 3.25") and are 'postmarked' with a 'first-day-of-issue' stamp - in German, French, and Italian, with the date 2nd of September 2006, and Ibach 6438, Ibach being Victorinox's location in Switzerland and 6438 being its postal code. The plaque is also stamped nnnn/1111, matching the number of the knife.
In February 2025 Victorinox produced for Japan market a special limited edition Emergency Tool set of the Huntsman Lite with StayGlow plus scales and featuring a built-in fire starter and fire stick. It also includes a whistle to signal your location during emergencies.
