This just came in today:

Neat red sleeve came with it...too bad it's cracked and damaged.

I'll have to catch up a bit with some of the recent Hoffritz additions, now that the Challenge is done.
Definitely back! Looking forward to seeing your additions!  :like: :tu: :cheers:

Now that you mention that, I don’t think I have ever seen a MIB either and that is on any Hoffritz.  :dunno:

I wish my mint c. '67 Hoff Champion had a box...but it still has its original oil residue.  Probably one of the few knives I won't clean.

And yes, to my knowledge, they did not have special Hoffritz marked boxes. Wouldn't that have been cool though... :think:

Nice one Ray! Is that a Craftsman?

EDIT: looks like from the 2nd pic.  I'm thinking c. '77 if that's an aluminum tweezer.

Mine for today...a Hoffritz Picnicker the older machine finish (unpolished Elinox parts) +PAT  'user' copy:

Nice Fisherman Ray! :like:

This is mine for Hoff Wednesday:




Post +PAT c. '72 Hoffritz Outdoorsman ... Could be one of the non +PAT late '60s, because it has a scissor liner that looks earlier than other knives I have from the c. '72 range. Otherwise, this would indicate when (c. '72) Victorinox stopped stocking this type of liner in the typical fashion that Hoffritz knives often have discontinued parts. It's relatively rare since it is only used with new-style and non-LNF scissors when it is adjacent to the opener layer.  I think this liner was created because the 'full' liners made it a bit crowded and took too much clearance away with the new style scissors and openers.

Not the best condition and I need to get to the cleaning and light misc. repairs on this one. Missing the right tweezers.
