Great one on the left! Can you show blade stampes?
Yes:


Hard to read the one on the left, it says Victoria Switzerland Stainless

Can cross this Climber off my list. Can't believe I snagged it for only $60!

Nice one!
My rule with SAKs like that one (i.e. with country/region/city specific design) is that I only buy them at the actual place. So when I was in Vienna a while back I was totally going to get a Mozart knife, even though I had seen them on eBay before. Of course I couldn't find one there :D

By the way, there are other ones as well (never seen those before): http://www.mozarthaus.biz/en/1487-offiziersmesser-mozart-.html
And also in 58mm.

Good rule Reiner - I agree
And tragi-funny that you could not find the Mozart knife in Vienna - I've seen that one too - and it's a beaut

Anyway I am off to Zermatt tomorrow - Guess what I'll be looking out for  ???  :tu:
Watch this space - But not for a few weeks - As internet connections will be sporadic.

BTW - Great pics of Christmas presents and other recent acquisitions everyone.
FB - You really seem to dig out some very nice collectables - and in amazing condition - Very glad you finally got your exposed rivets Camper too!

And I love that Vic Delemont Christmas Snow Evo xx - Stunning
And also the Wenger Skier with the ski scraper - I'd love one of those!

How exciting to be travelling Huntsman, best of luck in your treasure finding!

I have a new-to-me Camper inbound:  I wanted that small clip point blade and non T&T for my small yet growing Camper collection:

This one completes the range of blade shapes in the gardener series.
There are two-bladed knives also (e.g. in the Heidi Shop) but I won't be getting them.

Got this for $14 shipped. Has a chip on the back scale (Which I'll replace with a period-correct non-pin-hole scale) and inlay on front (SKF, a company that makes bearings), so I can clean it up.

Has version 2 metal file, fluted CS, old style backside small SD, screw scissors, no hook, no chisel, crossbow tang stamp...

Based on the tool selection it's either the Swiss Army Brands version of the Handyman (SABI 5041) or a pre-1973 Champion, but since the metal file on this one was introduced around 1975, I'm guessing this is the SAB Handyman.

Not really... Having the tools is important. Having them in every possibe configuration is a waste, unless you're a collector.

There's also a Wharncliffe blade that was used on some of the older models.
