Help identify old SAK (interesting 4 needle/owl tools)
on: August 24, 2014, 06:24:03 PM
Hi,

Can any one help identify this SAK.

It is in rough shape as many implements are broken  :(

2 tools and corkscrew are totally broken and I was not able to open them for pictures.
But for its size it seems very well made and has more tools/implements then I would expect.
Including 4 needle/owl implements some i have not seen on any knifes before?

Size compared to Victorinox Huntsman.

Pictures:

Not a sak. Definately. What does the tang of the main blade say?

Main Blade seems mostly broken off and I was not able to open. Maybe with fine pliers I can open it?

It's definitely SAK-like, but I don't see anything familiar on it.

As mentioned, definitely not a SAK. Levine's Guide to Knives (4th ed) shows something similar under 'Sportsman's Knives', and lists one of the blades as a bodkin (used for making holes in cloth). Another could be a pipe reamer. The knife shown in the book was made by Henckels (Germany).

The scissors and high-chrome steel look German, like pre-WWII.  Are those a toothpick and tweezers in the slots?  Sometimes they turn out to be other tools.
Pry the broken main blade out with a thin screwdriver and tell us what stamp is on the tang.
Nice tortoise shell scales !

Was able to get some kind of a mark on one of the knifes. Was able to open all but one. Surprisingly not many markings.

Can't make out the symbol. The shortage of markings may indicate its French. For some reason a lot of small French makers didn't mark their knives. Was told the bottom knife was French when I bought it, but not a mark on it.

I would like to get this knife restored to its former glory.
Is it restorable? Or just damaged too much?

Any idea if any one does this kind of work? Any recommendations / suggestions?
