Day 15

Some of my Wengers, obviously all of them qualify, but the one I wanted to show today is the Matterhorn Plus. It's in Ibach on spa treatment at the moment - it had a weak blade spring -, and this is the only photo of it I could find.


I kinda regret not getting the higher layers of Wenger such as the Matterhorn, they are really unique from it's own way and is good to have from a collecting standpoint.

Bah. No U on that one!  Forgot that I didn't post the list to date...and noticed my error.  :facepalm:

Density of the old knives with nickel silver liners feels nice to carry.  Gonna continue that way for tomorrow and switch to a slightly later Craftsman. Amazing that the original grind on the blades can remain sharp for over 70 years on this Huntsman.

kamakiri Day 16:

Might as well put up pics since I have tomorrow's knife selected.

Day 16

Old Spartan(or Camper) with Bail, fluted corkscrew, awl and clip point small blade.  I remember getting this from evilbay.  Victorinox naming sometimes could be confusing, I have seen it called Spartan, but also see this exact same thing named as 'Camper' in 1967 Dealer's catalog.

Day 16, had a meal a bit more unusual for the season.



Great knives as always. I actually won an auction lot that had a knives or two that will probably feature in the challenge later. Not quite as vintage models as some here have though, but interesting to me.

Pretty sure it's a 'Camper' 234U.  That's the name that was used in the catalogs I  know of before and after that time frame. I generally think if it has a 5 twist CS that it's a Camper. 4 twist, and that's about the time that Campers got the saws c. '73/'74.

Yours is from '57+ and is probably at least '58+ with the 'v2' +PAT.  I'd have to see more of the knife to estimate how much later it might be.

Looking good Exeter. Mine was in Ibach for almost three months, but was in a bad shape and actually required replacement of all liners several tools and the scales.

Well, three months is their standard time, I'm expecting mine back - along with an old cross red Popular and an Executive - some time before Christmas. Based on previous experiences, I'm hoping for some great results.
