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.

Vintage Wenger Dog-Leg Can Opener

 

Vintage Wenger Dog-Leg Can Opener, This is a vintage Wenger from the early 1970's or late 1960's. The can opener is called a dog-leg style due to its shape. It is made so you pierce the can and then rock the leg up and down to cut the metal on the upward cut. There are a couple styles with one having a longer "leg" than this one. I think the longer leg version is older as it does not have the diagram on it as the other one does.
