My application to the club (playing "Spot the Wenger" - hint: Not the one you'd think of ) :

Looks like a Wenger Model 1921 Soldier (dated P39, top left), a late 1940s Victorinox Spartan/Tourist (missing inlay, top right) and a Elinox Model 1242kU from the early/mid 1960s (bottom).

Here`s a vintage camper. I really like the tang stamps, 4x victoria inoxyd also on the can opener!

enki_ck · **Reply #123 on:** March 15, 2015, 01:28:04 PM

Very nice.

Is that horn? Any idea what the inlay was?

ulli · **Reply #124 on:** March 15, 2015, 02:18:58 PM

Yes those are horn handles.

There was just a plain metal plate like the one on this Picture of another knife.

...a repost from "Victoria Princess".
Victoria tang stamp, exposed rivets and older cross-cut nail file...

A couple of nice old MoP Vics.

...and as far as I can see, they are in pristine condition.

Mr. Blonde · **Reply #133 on:** April 27, 2015, 12:16:57 PM

Is that a Super Tinker with long nailfile? I want to build me one. I didn´t even know, it existed already.

SAK Guy · **Reply #134 on:** April 27, 2015, 02:32:53 PM

Better pic of my LNF Climber.

Those are beautiful, especially the one with exposed rivets and triangular awl

Reinier · **Reply #136 on:** April 27, 2015, 06:20:21 PM

And here is one of mine, Victoria LNF Champion with MoP scales, mint condition:

SAK Guy · **Reply #137 on:** April 27, 2015, 06:43:51 PM

Reinier · **Reply #139 on:** April 28, 2015, 02:01:36 PM

Here's something I noticed on that MoP Champion (I thought it was mint, but this pic says otherwise, there is a dent in one of the liners. It's also a bit dirty

): the toothpick is in the center of the scale just like on 58mm and 74mm SAKs. It is in fact a small toothpick as found on the smaller SAKs. Never noticed this on any other knife.

Edit: I don't understand this. One of the pins should be there!? When I remove the toothpick there's no rivet

I'd guess the knife must be flush peened on that end/side......maybe both sides?

Reinier · **Reply #141 on:** April 28, 2015, 02:53:02 PM

Thanks neillcurrie, You're right. I took a better look and I think I can see it's flush peened, at least at the toothpick side

Nice one R!

Noticed the same on my '85 MOP SwissChamp, the T&T are both more centered in the scales, but the tweezers slightly off center. Did not think to look at the pins though, but they are flush like yours also, very interesting!

Reinier · **Reply #143 on:** April 28, 2015, 03:19:23 PM

Now that's cool. My tweezers are in the usual location, not slightly off-center like yours

M0rkoni · **Reply #144 on:** January 07, 2017, 10:52:06 AM

A little BUMP for this great thread with a vintage 84mm frame piece with all desirable features: exposed rivets, bail, long nail file etc. ...
If there is a will to continue with this thread this is a proper time to do that...
