Pre-saw Camper Value ?
on: September 20, 2018, 09:56:38 PM
I getting ready to thin some tools and knives out and I'm trying to determine the value of my Victoria Hoffritz  pre saw Camper. I usually look to E-Bay for this but I'm not finding comparable listings.


It's in really good shape for it's age,  the small pen blade had it's tip re-profiled due to a broken tip.


What say you experts ?

Hey Steve.

Without a saw,wouldn't this be a Spartan?

I'm just wondering what makes this a Camper without the saw? Am I missing something?

EDIT:

I was late to the party. :)

I have no idea what it's worth, but if you do sell it, post it with an explanation and those old catalog pictures listing it as a Camper. That backstory would make it far more interesting to a potential buyer IMO. I had no idea Victorinox ever called their old Spartan patterns Campers.

What say you experts ?

Maybe try to contact Victorinox, to see if they can replace the small blade with an original design? Off the bat, I'd say it's worth about 10x the catalog price. With some TLC from Victorinox, maybe even more.

I think so too.

I wouldn't buy it since I'm a cheapskate.
But I do love that knife :drool:

For a discontinued piece, in the shape that one's in? Yup! It's a real collector's item!

Or you can send a PM to Chako, ask if he wants to trade it for something else you might want/need.
