Here we have a Super Tinker and Climber '61-'68 best I can tell, and also a Tinker Small which I place 68-74.
I find the different stamps interesting.

That's and awesome exec.
Once they got to the late 80's/90's it seems they stopped stamping the tangs. They sold out to Lifetime Hoan in '95, and as far as I know, no more Hoffritz SAKs after that date. :salute:

Hobie on YouTube has a blade straightening video that's pretty good. Exercise caution ⚠ for sure, tips break off pretty easily if you're not super careful, and even then they still do.
Do a quick search on the Swiss Army Knights Forum. And you'll find plenty of information regarding cleaning restoring and oiling :cheers:

Director. Have also have an old pre hook explorer on the way that looks like it has Hoffritz inlay on the front scale. Pretty cool.
Not a sak, but I do remember posting something about this years and years ago, and some clown pm'ed me wanting to buy it. I got this about 30 years ago in one of their new York City stores, before there were any bans against them, and I don't even know if they have any Manhattan stores anymore, 1 was in Penn station, the other was Rockefeller center.. Hoffritz branded butterfly knife(some jerk in college tried to sharpen it, hence the scratches, other then that it has held up perfectly, and opens closes smoothly like a Bruce Lee Kung Fu one)
You guys are blowing my mind! I didn't even know about these. :like: :cheers:

Love the old Champions, I've never been a big fan of the Victorinox pliers, I kind of feel like they had too much bulk for the usefulness of the tool.
I've noticed that the older round mini screwdrivers will often fit a lot looser in the corkscrews. It seems like the newer version fits more snuggly and most corkscrews, especially Wenger corkscrews. But up do understand wanting to put the older version in there for historical accuracy sake.
I think if you paid less than $50 for it, then you got a great deal. :cheers:

I was going to ask for pictures from the top, as I suspect it may have a 'thin' center liner. I did think that it should have the 'gray' spring and would likely be from c. '78 if it didn't.

Now there's another Hoffritz addict in the ranks! >:D

The restored was the polishing of the scales. He did a great job on it. Looks great.:iagree: :tu: That's why I was still looking at it! I was being too cheap and hoping for a price drop. I'll just have to try harder on the next one!
Could you post a pic of the top of the knife? I was really curious about the liner types.
I was thinking of the Hoffritz SwissChamp but went with the Fisherman in the end. Had the SwissChamp had Hoffritz tang stamp I would have gone with it. Looking forward to seeing more of your Hoffritz’s. :like: :tu::cheers:
One of the main reasons I had to start posting...to photograph/document/organize my collection! Even saving auction pics and data gets to be a chore. :cry:
c. 1972 Picnicker:

The above is why it's often hard to date Hoffritz knives...they're often getting parts discontinued from main line production. I have one of these that I believe is earlier, but has the numbered scaler and two thin/full spacers/liners, unlike this one with the thick/thin protocol.

Here is a photo of the top...if its not...post a photo of what you want to see and then I can get you one! :tu:
Thanks much! :salute: That's perfect, Ray! Helps confirm that mine (Hoffirtz Fish) are both probably just after yours and might be c. '79 and c. '80 for the one w/o fish...and that the non-Hoffritz SS inlay Fish with the black scissor spring should be say c.'76 +/- a year.
I've been trying to find the earliest date for the Hoffritz SS inlay as well as the related Camping variations since they can be found together.

Ok, quick question! Does anyone have a Alox Hoffritz??? I haven’t seen one now that I’m thinking about it. Did they ever make one? Just wondering! :dunno:
And if you have one, can you post a photo?
Not me! One more thing to look out for! I may have seen one for auction a while back...can't say for certain though. :think: :dunno:
Closest thing I have would be a Director and its stainless scales.

:rofl: :D That would be a safe guess...but I'm relatively new to Alox knives. All of mine are users and I don't really want to collect them. There are several that have my interest, but I figure I can always do that later.

c. ‘76 and the first of these with the Hoffritz scale inlay. Previous version was the 84mm 11037 which does not appear to have the scale inlay.
