Hmm, I wonder if I can come up with ten specific models...

- 111mm WorkChamp
- 111mm Bundeswehr GAK
- 100mm Budding knife
- 58mm Presentation Master
- 91mm Handyman M.v.D. (Ministry of Defence)
Right now I'm tempted to grab a catalog and dig for more SAKs I want. But I won't, I'll rack my brain a bit harder. :facepalm:

- 91mm Voyager
- 91mm SwissFlame
- 91mm Fisherman, blue scales, vintage with bale
- SwissCard Nailcare
- 91mm Victorinox SOS kit (preferably '90's model, boxed)

That wasn't as hard as I imagined.
When scrolling through the interwebs I look for things that indicate old SAKs, bails, metal tweezers, fluted corskrews etc.
Out in the field (thriftsores and fleemarkets) I tipically buy any SAK I see if they are cheap, they are not that common (or I'm not looking hard enough).
Thank you for adding your list.  :tu: I actually have 3 of yours, sadly no duplicates.
I have the SwissFlame, boxed SOS kit from the 90s and 111 WorkChamp.
I haven't heard about the SwissCard Nailcare, going to go check out what that is.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Here's my current most wanted list:

'81 Wenger Soldat
pre-57 Standard Officer's Knife
Rescue Tool
Coyote Cadet
pre-'73 Climber Small
Vic DAK KM 87
OC Midshipman
OC Firstmate
pre-,61 Wenger Allsport
Scientist

Nice list. Still looking for that '81 Wenger?

I recently sold a KM87 because I had two of them, if I knew you were looking for one I would have let you know. If I ever run into one again i'll let you know!

Tang stamps:
VSSR
Officier Suisse with crossbow...

Clip point small blade.
Does that place it around 75?
Probably 73-74, (I believe that Tang stamp was officially introduced in 74 and the clip point blade was officially dropped in 73)  awesome though.  Ive got an early 80's that I like very much..  Even though there's a slight bend in the tip of the scissors
Thanks!

Since you're quite knowledged about SAK dating,
The Artisan has the same tang stamp on the front but the backside shows "Victoria" with a crossbow behind that text.
Underneath that it reads "Officier Suisse"
Small clipped blade and aluminum tipped tweezers.

The whole SAK dating thing is getting out of hand!  :ahhh

I mean, this morning on the SAK Collectors Facebook group, I saw a guy having saks in the shower!  :dwts:

well I keep an Executive in the shower next to the towels I use just after showering. It is dedicated to nailcare and hygiene and doesn't rust, :ahhh SAK steel is extremely rust resistant  :salute:
My toys:

MTs: Surge (2x), Skeletool CX, Rebar, Blast, Fuse, Micra, Squirt (3x), Wave, Crunch, Mini, Spirit (2x), Pro Scout, MP700 (2x), Diesel, Powerlock, PowerPlier (2x), PocketPowerPlier, Blacktip , ST6 (2x), 5WR, A100

SAKs: Bantam, Executive, Ambassador, Minichamp, Classic Alox, Champion, Farmer, Explorer, Swisschamp, Golf Tool, Wenger Champ, EVO 52, Pocket Tool Chest

I have the SwissFlame, boxed SOS kit from the 90s and 111 WorkChamp.
I haven't heard about the SwissCard Nailcare, going to go check out what that is.

The SwissCard Nailcare is quite clever really. It's much like the SwissCard Lite, but without the light and the blade.
The blade can do pretty much anything the scissors can do, so the blade is replaced with a glass nailfile. I've heard it's awesome!

The SwissFlame and the SOS kit are nostalgia to me. I got my first SAK early in the '90s. I couldn't afford the SOS kit but it has been on my mind ever since. They do appear every now and then so I'll have to save up some money for the next one that comes by.

I was very, very close to buying a SwissFlame on vacation years later. I had all my saved pocketmoney and was ready to spend it. Though the shopkeeper advised against buying a SwissFlame because a lot of them were returned because of broken lighters. I took his advice because it was a lot of money for me back then (oddly enough it's again a lot of money for me now I must have done something wrong). The shopkeeper was as much right as he was wrong. Seeing what they go for now...

It was $107 with tax, a LOT of money in 1993, but somehow I threw caution to the wind.  I guess it was easier to buy since I thought it would last my lifetime, little did I know I would collect them some 20+ years later.

Wonderful pic of that SOS kit. I loved all the trinkets that came with it. That little matchbook, fantastic!

Everytime I read that I'm like, that's right, these things last a lifetime.
But the lifetime promise they make keeps getting easier to keep when we grow older.  :angel:

Well the 87 has a keyring, no bail (last year with bail was 86)

The scales are damaged in a pretty way and it hasn't seen use since it's Vic spa.

Shipping to US is mighty expensive though. :/

I love all things Tiki  :D.  I hadn't seen this SAK but I think it looks pretty nice.  There are so many super cool classics that I could see myself wanting several.  That would be a fun collection.

I was making an order on Victorinox.com and had to put that Hawaii one in my cart, and the Pyramids of Giza, that one looked lovely too.  I wanted the London one, but they start to add up quickly, so I held off this time.
Off topic, my Grandma's dog was named Tiki...I thought it was a great name, she was a great dog.

I've heard glen is persuadable to let go of his red alox Voyageur...

Just not on the cheap!
I offered €20 and he said "no".

Can you believe that?!
