I would venture a guess at an early 1960's small climber (it looks like an 84mm model).

Corkscrew or Phillips?

It is a 91mm climber made c. 1969-1970.

Nice... ya you often find that saw or file you didn't expect when you buy from ebay.  I have one coming in now that I hope does not have a hidden saw or fish scaler.  I like it when they at least have enough pictures that I know they have missed something.

Well all the knives with shackle (or bail sort of), are not that common to come by.  Most are in the hands of collectors.  The knife is officially model 236U or a direct derivative of it.  It was popular so many were made, but it's still quit a special knife given the shackle, and clip-point.  Is Victoria on the obverse/top-side of the blade, or the reverse back/side?   Obverse would be older.  It would fetch a good dollar on ebay with box.

Also, the saw probably has unidirectional raked teath is that right?
