Victorinox Victoria Hoffritz Champion "B" - FOR SALE

 

Victorinox Victoria Hoffritz Champion "B", this Champion model dates from 1971-1973 based on the "Phillips" screwdriver being polished smooth with no file or can key slot. The fish scaler tool dates pre 1975 since it has no ruler markings. This knife has the long nail file and also has the inside radious sharpened on the bottle opener. The insert tools appear to be replacements so not original but the scales look original with very minor swelling at the insert end. The tang stamp reads "Hoffritz, Switzerland, Stainless" on the front side and "Victoria, Officier Suisse" on the rear. 

The condition of this SAK is good to average with the tools being in pretty good shape for its age. The blade might have a slight tip bend but it is hard to see. The long nail file tool is a little loose when it is deployed open but snaps open and shut as it should. With the exception of the opener layer all the tools snap open and shut properly. The opener layer is loose or lazy and I can not see any defects but it probably has a spring or liner issue. The scales are dull as expected with a used SAK and there is some slight age swelling near the insert end which is common for older SAK's. The scissors have some slight tip bend as well but work fine. Details on age of tools taken from the SAKWiki website.

This is for sale. Email is stressmaster5000@gmail.com and I am in Texas USA.

They were retailers of fine cutlery from all over the world at one time.  I have seen some 1950's model Victorinox so they have had a relationship with Victorinox for many decades up until they went out of business. Most only have the Hoffritz name hot stamped into the scales but there are a few here with Hoffritz tang stamps as well.
