Some of the members here are very good at dating SAKs (and I don't mean taking them out for dinner, that's an old joke ).You may want to start a new thread if you want more people to notice
Quick estimation I think would be between 1970 and1975.5 loop corkscrew is before 1983Eyeless awl is from 1961 to 1985The Saw looks like from 1970Single spring scissors is pre 1975So my guess is 1970 -1975.A new thread might call more attention and real expert answer.Good Luck,Shalom

I couldn't read the tang stamp on my phone (no, my phone does not have any tang stamps....oh never mind).Early 1970s sounds about right
Hard to say. There is another thread on that topic. It really depends on many variables. You should check eBay (sold items) to get a rough estimate.I have a few 91mm SAKs with horn scales in varying conditions and of different vintages, I probably paid between €25 and €150 for each of them.Can you post a picture of the front scale?
Hi all, I’m a bit new to this and have inherited a sak. I am fascinated with them after reading so much about them. What do you think?
Vic horn scales are made from water buffalo horn.
