I am more of a user than a collector and after reading here the older SAKs are prone to broken springs with extended use, I decided I would rather let this go than to use it up.
I don´t know the exact name or model number for those two oldtimers, but am sure some member here can fill in on the details.
I have not oiled/cleaned the knives except for using a toothpick and a stiff bristled brush, as I have read that the older scales may react with oils/cleaning agents and I did not want to cause any further damage. All sprins seem good, no 93 mm Alox snap, but no limp tools either.
First knife:
84 mm 2 layer knife
Red Cellidor scales, no T&T. Insted of teh VIC shield, there is an advertising Logo "SIA" inlaid on the front scale
Tools:
Big blade, VICTORINOX / SWITZERLAND / STAINLESS / ROSTFREI tang, other side reads VICTORIA w. Crossbow / OFFICER / SUISSE
Blade has been missharbened and is scratched, but I guess it can be saved w/o loosing too much substance.
small, clip-point blade. scratched from missharpening
Can opener (w. small screwdriver), Caplifter/Screwdriver w. wire bending notch, no stamps, no half stop
Backside tools:
Big awl, undamaged and fluted, 5 turn corkscrew
No lanyard attachment point.
liners are not corroded or bent,slight marks on top of min blade and back layer liners. back scale has "melted" area on the corkscrew side about 3x12 mm.
Pics:
damaged scale:
I think 50-€ including worldwide, registered shipment? If I´m too far off, please give me a hint. I´m not trying to make a big profit, but I too don´t want to throw those SAKs out...
Trade offers welcome.
The second knife is even older. It is a 2 layer 84 VIC, too.
Red scales with visible pins, Inlaid Advertising Logo on the front scale. 2 cutouts (for the Cap lifter and Awl)
Tools:
Big blade, scratches from use, but quite good for that age.
VICTORIA / SWITZERLAND / STAINLESS tang stamp, empty on back
Small, clip point blade
No tang stamp, some scrtches, dull, but undamaged edge
Cap Lifter with screwdriver, no half stop, no notch and no stamps
Can opener - "Wenger" Claw style. Funnily, they are oriented the other way round than on modern Vics?!
Backside tools:
big Awl, undamaged and fluted, 5 turn corkscrew.
Liners are not bent, from the colour I´d say they are nickel silver just like the SIA Logo and pins.
Again, no lanyard attachment point, no T&T.
rear scale is damaged at the bottom, see pic.
I think 75,- € including registered, international shipment? Again, I am no collector. Give me
if I´m off with pricing. Trade offers are welcome.
110,- for both, shipped and registered.
Thanks for looking! Questions? Just ask!
