Lets play, whats the logo?
on: September 10, 2021, 08:09:16 PM
I picked up this nice little classic.  Its got the pointy file and the older one at that.   Its a nice simple SAK that looks great too.  My googlefu is weak. 

Any help on the logo would be appreciated.   :tu:

So there's where it is! I'm glad you found it! I've been looking everywhere for it!

It's my initials: PF. It costed too much to write my full name, so I just put PF plus the star.

I'll send you my address so you can return it, thanks!

Lockheed P-7 has a degree of plausibility. However, that aircraft was only in development for a short time (mid-1980s to cancelation in 1990). Does the old style of nail file fit that time frame?

(The above is intended solely as a broad baseline and a jumping-off point.)

I, too, have a Victorinox with a mystery logo. Would it be more appropriate to post it herein, give it its own thread, or look for a thread that is a compilation of similar questions?

Perhaps the knife in question was presented to employees in celebration of Lockheed winning the P-7 contract. Although I agree that the window was very short: from October 1988 when they won the contract to July 1990 when it was cancelled. :dunno:

I found the logo on a poster, on eBay of all places. The copyright on the poster states “©1989”. So that would fit with those dates.

By the way, nice knife.  :like:

I was able to get a better look at the logo. The Lockheed star is definitely there. I think the mystery has been solved!

With my background, I'm partial to aviation logos. Aloha, you found a sweet little SAK!

Cheers.  :cheers:

It was fun looking for this logo as it involved a few of my favourite things: aviation and graphic design. And also looking up random trivia on the internet… :tu:

P.S. Edited for spelling… :-[

I have always thought that the cut file was much older than this implies.

This blue standard has the Lockheed star, but no lettering.
