- Elinox tangstamp
- can opener with "+Pat" marking
. bottle opener with wire scrapper an 90° stop

Maybe made in the mid 60's to the early 70's?

Thanks and best regards.

Sunshine and nothing to do.
A good moment to pick up two Schützengarten...

I grew up with my Cellidor-handled Fieldmaster (bought it new at a local knife shop when I was 8, and still carry daily it ten years later) and also carried my great-grandfather's Pioneer for a time until I decided I didn't want to lose it (he had purchased the knife new in 1991, two years before his death in 1993) and had also learned the red-handles Alox knives are quite valuable.
 
Eventually, the handles got looser on my Fieldmaster, and one of the scales had the top edge break off.   

Currently, the new handles  and a few other parts for my Fieldmaster and a 1987-1990 Craftsman I found on Ebay for $18 (also with cracked scales) are in the mail. 

However, I'm considering getting a Farmer, as it has the necessary (to me) saw and the flat-blade screwdrivers that  are mounted on the openers).    Forget the wimpy reamer/sewing eye on the Cellidor models, the punch will work just fine.      I don't need the toothpick and tweezers.  I use the tweezers, but it's too easy to lose both tools.   

Also, why did they get rid of the wire stripper/scraper  that was ground into the bottle opener?  I use that feature on my great-grandfather's Pioneer often.   

Older second-hand Alox models (especially with the red scales with silver cross) that will have the wire stripper in the bottle opener are pricey on the secondary market.
