The Handyman was introduced in 1973, right about the time the model number format changed, and model names were standardised by Victorinox.
Its original toolset (fish scaler not pliers, no chisel or hook, original fine screwdriver) was equivalent to the old six-layer Champion, which had been semi-retired following the release of the seven-layer Champion in 1973.
The pliers were introduced in 1986, replacing the fish scaler. Its evolution followed a very similar path to that of the Craftsman with tools and tool versions changing as the Victorinox tools evolved.
