Pins and bails....what’s not to like! 

[Huntsman]

Very very nice El CS - Love the bails and rivets

I am guessing some scale polishing has happened here

Love the long nail files...

Early Golpher........no combo tool, just the clip point pen blade.  Double leg spring but it is black oxided so guessing somewhere around ‘73.

I never would have thought that one to be an early golfer...if I understand your spelling. Either way...nice knife!

   Thinking about the gopher that’s been digging tunnels around my horse corrals, guess he just slipped in here. 🤪

That knife must be a cross between a golfer and a gopher....new model.  😜

Thank you.

I thought to no T&T made it a Woodsman - Or is it too recent to be one of those - Definitely Economy with the worn our hot stamped shield logo

That's entirely possible

Like some other model names, the name "Woodsman" was used over time to refer to different models. Quoting what JAZZBASS wrote in another thread:

"* In the early versions of Victorinox names, the Huntsman was the standard four layer knife (blades/openers/saw/scissors) with a LNF, the Woodsman was the same model without LNF. After the phase out of the LNF on the majority of 91mm models in the early 1970s, the Huntsman becomes the standard 4 layer model with T&T, the Woodsman is the model without T&T. This distinction doesn't last long and my the early 1980s Woodsman = Explorer with saw, Huntsman = standard 4 layer model regardless of T&T/keyring."

Indeed, evidence for the use of the "Woodsman" name to refer to a Huntsman without scale tools can be found in catalogs from the late 1970's and early 1980's (such as this one and this one), but since the SAK in question seems to be post-1985, calling it a "Woodsman" is probably inappropriate (as this name was likely already used for a different SAK when it was made). While some people seem to still use the name "Woodsman" to refer to any Huntsman without scale tools (I personally prefer the name "Huntsman NT" for such a SAK), I think that it's probably better to avoid this and reserve the name "Woodsman" (in the context of 91mm SAKs) for the SAK of the Woodsmans Owners Club (note that things are already quite confusing due to the use of the "Woodsman" name to also refer to a totally different 93mm Alox SAK).

[Huntsman]

Great find MC - JB is just the best (better than SAKWiki!!)

To quote Hiraethus from another thread:
"Don't you just love Victorinox's naming conventions" - Or words to that effect   

So for this one I think we can definitely conclude that it is a Huntsman - It has the large V in VSSR - So is post 85 - So Economy version Huntsman (w/o t&t !)

Also not sure it belongs in this thread either     
For me vintage means at least bail  - preferably exposed rivets !!
But I guess we can treat it as a thread hijack !!

Thank you MC,cheers

The knife I had purchased a while back was a mystery about the cellophane.

Update:
I bought the knife seen below today.  It solves the cellophane mystery for me.  Apparently they either came packaged that way for the railroad, or when the railroad received them, they special boxed them.

That’s a nice find for sure.
