I have to give GigaHz the credit for the spa treatment, he did an amazing job!
If you look at the middle of the knife, a little bit of a blade is popping up, that is the broken small blade, it had to be replaced.
Then I had a saw added, because I love wood saws, ever since my first SAK, the Camper.

Thx Barry!!! It's one of my favorites because I can carry and use it without worrying about  scratching/dinging the scale or something.  :D
SG, I know that feeling....I bought this total fixer upper on eBay for $10 and after some spa treatment it is not only nice to look at, I carry it too.
Before:


That's a really really nice job FB!!!  :cheers: :cheers:  :drool: :drool:

I also have a bail that I need to tap back on.   :facepalm:
I have to give GigaHz the credit for the spa treatment, he did an amazing job!
If you look at the middle of the knife, a little bit of a blade is popping up, that is the broken small blade, it had to be replaced.
Then I had a saw added, because I love wood saws, ever since my first SAK, the Camper.

 :cheers: He sure did!!!!  :salute:

I'll count myself in here with my Wenger. It followed me out for an outdoors lunch yesterday and saw most of a month of use during the minimalist challenge. I tried to determine when it was made but it lacks year of production stamp.

The toolset mostly aligns with the Mountaineer except for the absence of the multi-purpose hook.

Most likely it's an early 1960s version of a Ranger, and the seller just didn't open the wood saw (probably didn't know it had one). The model being 236maU would be correct for this.

Another great find FB - and a very good price too - amazing!  :tu:

You sometimes find that ebay sellers do not display the saw - I guess they think it is a liner!
So this could be a full 0236mau - a predecessor to the Ranger

You'll know soon let us know.

@ Norcaljim - The Mountaineer would not have had a hook pre 1991!! Assuming it was around then - Or maybe just the Grand Prix was around in those days!

Edit - Just seen JB's equivalent comment - Apologies - It took me a long time to post this as someone came to the door and I was on the phone!! :o Multitasking :)

Thank you all for the replies.  I will know this week if it has the wood saw or not and post an updated photo.
I love to find older knives with their original box.  I believe that is what I collect because I don't seem to focus on any particular model, I thought I might at first, but I don't.

Regarding price, I was happy with this purchase, too many times I have had to pay dearly for mint in box.

I neglected to mention that the awl didn't resemble the one for the Mountaineer.  I was pleased to see the input that this was a Ranger and that the seller may not have realized that there was a wood saw.  I have two Grand Prix models and they have a philips.  BTW, thanks for your reply.  I didn't know when the hook appeared but knew that it was missing on some of my older SAKs.

Hi NCJ - You might find the table in this thread useful with tool availability and dating
It gives approximate dates when tools came out or tool versions changed.
I am about to post a slightly updated version

SAK dating seems to be as much an art as a science and nothing matches JBs encyclopaedic knowledge (- In fact some of the info in here came from him - Thanks JB!) - However this gives a pretty good idea

Just now got this 84mm 244 k. Looks like ~ 1952-1957 with early 50s blade stamps, LNF nail notch and nickel silver tweezers head. How rare is it?

Just now got this 84mm 244 k. Looks like ~ 1952-1957 with early 50s blade stamps, LNF nail notch and nickel silver tweezers head. How rare is it?[

Probably from right around 1957-1958. It has the pre-1958 tang stamp but not the exposed rivet construction you would expect to see. The three-line "Victoria Switzerland Stainless" stamp changes to the four line "Victoria Switzerland Stainless Rostfrei" stamp around the same time as they go to hidden rivet construction, so around 1957/8. You see transitional knives in both directions - exposed rivets w/ 4 line stamps and hidden rivets w/ three line stamps. This is one of the latter obviously. Full model number on this one would be 244 kaU.

How rare? Certainly unusual but not what I'd call super rare.
