Tinker small

It's my first knife, I think only the small blade is used.  I haven't used it at all in about 25 years, since I got my second SAK.  It's a keepsake now.

Very :drool: :drool: :drool: :like: nice

I don't have e Hoffritz yet but I'm looking for one. :hatsoff:

:tu: Cool! Nice to see a Hoffritz with its original owner!  :hatsoff:

Do you know what year you got it? And can you post more pics?

I got it in 1990.  I'll post more pictures soon.

Nice one, Ray!  :tu:  Happy Hoff Wednesday!

Did anyone here buy this one?


This one is a '79 or early '80. I have some later ones, but still want to find a c.'76 copy.

-----

..or how about this Gold one?

Found this one and thought I hadn’t carried it lately and opened it up to find a Fieldmaster.

 :tu: Looks good Ray!  My guesstimate for yours is c. ‘76 and that it would be a C11169 TOPSIDER. Does it have a ‘gray’ double-leaf scissor spring?

——

A few of mine that I haven’t posted before. A pair of Hobbyist/Tinker Small ‘78 (w/ inlay) and pre-‘71.5 (+PAT). The post-‘71.5 Topsider 11169 for the Challenge and an Explorer/Master Craftsman F11037 c. ‘80/‘81

 :cheers: Thanks and thanks, Ray!  That black spring means it's more like '75/'76. Somewhat rare as the black spring is normally or more often found with the HSS tang. And the ones I have like this are with the stainless Hoff inlay. So it also teaches me that this overlap is a bit longer and starts a bit earlier than I thought.  :tu:
