Thank you again JB.
So for my records, the 91mm Spartan on the left is 205, the 84mm Tourist on the right is 206.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Correct - well, technically the Tourist is a 206U (U = bail), but yes.

I'm not understanding the woodsaw coming out the opposite end.
In one regard, the knife was used and I have to respect that part.

Broken and lost backspring....nothing there to stop it..  I've used knives for 50+ years, pretty hard at times, and none of them looked even close to this so I'm less understanding.

* Was the model number for the Tourist on its box FB - As I was not sure why this was not a 234 ku - as I think the 5 in xx5 indicates scissors and I was not sure what the 0 in x0x was

Hello Huntsman, thank you for your naming efforts.  I don't recall why I named that what I did except I thought someone at some point told me it was that, unsure who/where, and even quite possibly me trying to name it.

The set you just named are my non-boxed set with large awls.

Here are my boxed ones, much easier to name.  :D  :pok:  :cheers:



Top row:
246k a
no markings
134ku
0236maU
248kU
0.5700.61
1.4713. other side of box is136aU
1.57.13
Bottom row:
WOODSMAN
CHAMPION
CHAMPION
RANGER

With box!  I am not worthy! !   :salute:

One of my nicer vintage Craftsman (square Phillips, fishscaler)...looks unused. Probably '80-'85 due to the tool types. It's VSSR stamped with a blank reverse tang.

Although this isn't necessarily considered a vintage knife, I know you all in here know your tangs.  :tu:
Is this common?  I see on this tang thread it is 1957-1970, but shouldn't it have Victorinox or Elinox on the opposite side?

The tang is blank on the other side.  :think:

I can't help myself wondering where you keep sourcing all those beauties...
Been searching my butt off for a vintage or exposed riveted SAK but they're nowhere to be found over here :cry:
Not even on the bay. The ones I do find, don't ship over here :dwts:

I find most of them on the auction site, and some are offered to me privately.  I do spend a LOT (too much) time looking for them. 
But I enjoy the hobby, I just wish some of them didn't cost as much as they do.

That stamp is a somewhat unusual one from c. 1974. It was used on both Picnickers and Outdoorsmans (I have an Outdoorsman with this same stamp). Around 1974 Victorinox start transitioning from old (Victoria/Elinox) stamps to newer stamps (Officer Suisse/Economy). This is part of this transition. You see Picnickers with Elinox, Victoria, this one, and Officer Suise stamps.

I love this knife and I'm just looking for some clarification on the opener layer as I like to document little variations in my notes about my knives.  As I'm examining my used, but new-to-me Picnicker, I notice the opener layer has two different versions of the tools.  :think:
On the left, the bottle opener doesn't have machine marks (usually diagonal lines).  On the right, the can opener with +Pat has the machine marks.
I am sorry the photos didn't pick it up, but the left tool, polished, right tool machine marks.
