I was on his 240ku Camper link just yesterday!
Those of you who have been collecting for a while, what are the chances of finding a 237k Bgl. with the old style can opener?

Small versions of the Camper (237k) and Woodsman (236k) do exist, but for whatever reason Victorinox decided to phase out production of them in the mid 1960s. Small Camper models go back to the 4 pin era of the early 1900s (I actually have one of these in very, very rough condition). However, despite the fact that they could produce a run of these today if they wanted, the newest 84mm Camper I've ever seen is from the mid 1960s. As for the 84mm Huntsman, these too disappear around the mid 1960s. For both of these models, most of the ones you find are from the mid 1940s to early 1950s. After the mid 1950s Victorinox really starts to de-emphasize thicker 84mm models in favor of their 91mm counterparts, and regular production runs of 84mm knives thicker than 2 layers all but stops by the late 1980s. First pic is one of my Model 236k knives. Second is a pic of a 237k (also c. 1944) taken from it's original eBay auction. I won this auction so so I'm sure the seller won't mind me recycling this image since it is of my knife.

Glad to see new photo by jazzbass! Can you tell us about different scissors position on the pre 1946 knives?
It's beautiful, Julius!
It looks like 1960s Camper small is not very common. Here is first one I saw during last two years.(Image removed from quote.)Together with elder brother Elinox 1237(Image removed from quote.)
