Victorinox Vintage Fisherman - Hoffritz




Victorinox Vintage Fisherman - Hoffritz, older Fisherman model with a bail and Hoffritz tang stamps that indicate age between 1957-1973. I think with the awl/reamer, can opener with "PAT" and backspring phillips this one dates to the 1960's. This one has the solid rear phillips screwdriver with the file surface.

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 vintage Champion "B" with Long Nail File and Bail, technically model number 146fmaU this 6 layer Champion model was first introduced in 1952 and manufactured up to 1974. This one has the long nail file tool which mounts below the scissors in the same layer. This one also has the phillips screwdriver with file serrations on the inside to use as a file. The small clip pointed blade was changed to a spear pointed version after about 1973. This model is probably from the late 1960's to early 1970's.

Victorinox Victoria Hiker - National Ski Patrol (SOLD)

 



Victorinox Victoria Hiker - National Ski Patrol, this is an older vintage piece with the Victoria tang stamp. Has the National Ski Patrol shield which is an organization founded in 1938. I have seen other Hiker models with this shield which are newer so I am unsure of when they got with Victorinox to have their club knives made. This one is for sale.
