Vintage Victorinox Victoria Spartan - Stag

 













Vintage Victorinox Victoria Spartan - Stag, this is an older vintage pre 1961 Victorinox spartan with nice older thin stag scales. The modern stag scales are usually very thick, possibly due to the manufacturing process or the way the stag is harvested. No chips or cracks that I can see in the stag except the 2 nail nick beveled places on each side to help in opening the corkscrew and awl. The date range is due to this piece having the older triangular awl. Still snappy but there is some wear and marks from sharpening the 2 blades.

Victorinox Hoffritz Classic - Green Shamrock Clover, this is a Victorinox classic made for the "Hoffritz" cutlery company. They were retailers of fine cutlery from all over the world at one time. This one has the Hoffritz logo full metal inlay but the tang stamp is the standard 4 line Victorinox. Some older Hoffritz pieces will have the tang stamped Hoffritz as well.
