It's a simple Spartan but it's a superb quality and it looks very nice as well.

What's not to like about this SAK FB
  • Bail
  • Clip-point blade
  • Long nail file
  • PAT mark on CO
  • Sharpened ws edge on SD
  • Old style scissors
  • Old style file
  • Old style saw (teeth count?)
  • Five turn grooved corkscrew   
  • Fish scaler - No ruler   
and the best
  • Old style awl
And a narrow date range: Old awl, but hidden rivets - which as a few here know is a contradiction to Victorinox's tool evolution dates !!

Thank you all for the kind words.
I actually thought there were exposed rivets on it, even though they're clearly hidden.  :facepalm:  I still love it though.

 :like: Nice find, FB!  I have a same/similar one, but several parts are broken/chipped and front scale is melted. It has 29 angled teeth on the wood saw and a 1.5mm thick nickel silver bird head spacer. Looking forward to pics when you get it.

Thank you Aloha!
kamakiri, I will post photos when it arrives, possibly Wednesday.  I'll count the saw teeth as well.  :tu:

That's the spacer next to the small blade. Looks like a bird head when disassembled. I picked up the term while lurking here...maybe only some of the modders use it?  Some from this era are aluminum. Not sure if those are anodized.

Forgot these:
  • Five turn grooved corkscrew   
  • Fish scaler - No ruler   
Cheekily added into my earlier post !!

Every tool has changed - some significantly - from current versions

And a couple of things to check:
- Nickel sliver or aluminium tipped tweezers
- Tang stamps - eg Is it a Victoria?

As you may have gathered - I love the old SAKs

Happy to report it has nickel silver tipped tweezers, hard to capture in the photo.

Nice! That's what I was expecting should be there, but this knife is from the transition range between the two.  Looks pretty clean in that shot...
