Anyone know anything about this SAK?
on: May 19, 2025, 04:31:17 PM
I've been looking around for awhile and cant find any definitive answers. It might be a Ensign but it is strange that the scales are completely plain. I cant find another one like it. Anyone have any ideas? i appreciate your time.

You are likely correct with your finding as to the model.

For more details, you make want to provide more photos.

I am by no means knowledgeable on Victorinox models, but members here are wizards with details.

A close up and clear image of the tang stamp. The font and direction of the words and even the number of lines of text may offer clues.

Complete picture of the nail file.  Type of tip, nail cleaner or flat screw driver blade.   Even complet picture of the scissors, screwed or rivet. 

Both sides of the knife.  Details matter.

How you came to own, family heirloom, estate sale, Etc.

Even the engraving.  The company name changes at time periods.

Just suggestions…


If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Yep looks like a pre-'86 Ensign (small 'V' in Victorinox)

Nail-file with cleaner tip - As per the Wiki, scissor spring missing - but replaceable

Just a promotional version for the US Steel Corporation
- Not surprising it has smooth scales due to the lettering engraving
