oops replying again googling for 39116 and victorinox turns up a
few more locations, mostly overseas, but there's one here

The size is given wrong in the Walsh Brothers one. No way is it that
small! I'd say 3.5".

I also found it on a German site, saying it's 10cm long (I agree) and
that it was in the catalogue in August. Assuming aufnehmen means to
receive...

I might have to order a spare.
