Victorinox 58mm Models - Hoffritz

Victorinox 58mm Models - Hoffritz, various models with Hoffritz branding. These are genuine a Victorinox made for the "Hoffritz" cutlery company. 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. Usually the tang stamped versions have the 3 line Switzerland, Stainless, Rostfrei rear stamps but there is one here with the regular 4 line stamp that starts with Victorinox. See the images. The models is a red Bijou without inserts and a 4 line rear tang stamp, a regular white Classic with hot stamped Hoffritz, a regular red Classic with a 3 line rear tang stamp and hot stamped Hoffritz, a red hot stamped shield and Hoffritz Princess, a black Classic SD with hot stamped Hoffritz, a blue Classic SD with hot stamped Hoffritz, a red regular Classic with full metal inlay Hoffritz, a green Shamrock ClassicSD with all full metal inlay Hoffritzm shield and shamrock, and last a stainless steel Escort like model that I do not have the name for right now and it has the 3 line rear tang stamp.

Wenger Commander - Savana Series - Natural Horn (SOLD)

The 2 Swiss knife manufacturers sometimes use natural horn material as scales. This is a like new example of a Wenger Commander with Natural Buffalo Horn scales. This is from the 1990's Savana series. They made this model as well as a 65mm Esquire model both in natural buffalo horn. Note the thickness and the lack of slots for the toothpick and tweezer inserts. The natural material makes nice patterns of white and dark ebony colors that look like swirls in candy.

Die 2 Schweizer Messer-Hersteller verwenden manchmal natürliche Horn Material als Skalen. Dies ist ein gleichartigen neue Beispiel der Wenger Commander mit Natural Buffalo Horn Skalen. Beachten Sie die Dicke und den Mangel an Steckplätze für die Zahnstocher und TESTPINZETTE Einfügungen. Natürliche Material macht schönes Muster der weißen und dunklen Ebenholz Farben, die aussehen wie Swirls in Süßigkeiten.

A veces, los fabricantes de cuchillo suizo 2 utilizan material de trompa natural como escalas. Este es un ejemplo nuevo similar de un comandante Wenger con escamas de cuerno de Buffalo Natural. Tenga en cuenta el espesor y la falta de ranuras para las inserciones palillo y pinza. El material natural hace agradables patrones de blanco y ébano oscuro colores ese aspecto de remolinos en dulces.

Victorinox Rainier - Serrated Blade - FOR SALE

 

Victorinox at one time produced several partially serrated main blade versions of 3 different SAK's and named them after some famous mountains around the world(Matterhorn, McKinley and Rainier). This one is the Rainier. It has the same basic Swiss Army knife functions as the Huntsman model but has the partially serrated main blade. The tip portion of the blade remains a plain edge. The serrations are varied in size and shape which is much different than other fully serrated blades that Victorinox produced and made for a different SAK's. These models are getting harder to find and you should add one to your collection ASAP.

 This one is for sale. 

Check my eBay link or on Facebook for other SAK's I have for sale.
