Stockhausen Victorinox?

DJG105 · **on:** June 09, 2009, 09:29:07 PM

Hey, new here. i've got a SAK i'm having trouble identifying. the scale material is metal, but its not a standard alox scale, as all the other alox scales have a "grid" pattern of nonskid, while this knife has grooves cut only in one direction, lenghtwise. along the lenght of the blade in large black Letters it says "Stockhausen". the tang of the blade says "Victorinox Switzerland Stainless Rostfrei" on one side, Officer Suisse (with that officer suisse symbol) on the other.

the knife has the basic implements of destruction, large blade, small blade, can opener, and a bottle opener (same as a recruit). its the same length as a spartan (84mm?).

This knife is from at least the mid 90's, possibly mid-late 80's. all of my SAKs are on the older side, and they all say "Victorinox Switzerland Stainless Rostfrei", ive seen newer ones say "Victorinox Swiss Made Stainless".

has anybody heard of this?

Welcome mate

Pics?

Sounds like oldie Alox.

Neil · **Reply #3 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:36:22 PM

I'm guessing it looks like the one on the left ..

If so, how much do you want for it

Back in the day shops would often have their stock etched with the store name on the blade so that's probably the case with this one.

A photo is imperative! The blade marking is commonly done at the factory or other dealers. It is an aftermarket etching. The scale material may be aftermarket too.

wow, you guys are quick, and hit the nail right on the head. sorry for the lousy camera phone picture but i can't find my digi-cam at the moment. any information on the model?

*Edit: its a file, not a smaller blade, which identifies it as an older model cadet, correct?**
thanks!

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #6 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:54:12 PM

Yes. It's a defective SAK. Mail it to me and I'll replace it with a highly desireable model, like the Timekeeper--compact SAK with a watch.

I'm nice like that.

Benner · **Reply #7 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:55:07 PM

Yep that's an oldie Cadet.

I have pics of mine somewhere...

Welcome to the forum

And lovely Cadet mate

ufox9al · **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:07:31 PM

If it has samll blade in place of the nail file, it's an old-style Cadet II, arguably even rarer than "regular" old-style Cadet!

He has an edit saying it's a file.

We need to post photos and notes of older style "Ribbed" Cadet models on the SAKWicki. Now if only I can get a really nice photo to post or maybe someone here has a nice photo and will post it on the SAKWicki.

My old Ribbed cadet is a user and not that pretty. The shield is like new but the scales show use. Well how about it, anyone?

Neils the one for that.

I've got a ribbed Waiter that's cleaned up good enough to put up but my ribbed Recruit and Cadet aren't really good enough.

Actually I really like your photos and they do look great. If Neil wants to upload them and make notations, then go for it. I was hoping for you to volunteer them. I like that second photo with the implements spread out the best, but the first one looks nice too.

As a side note, does anyone here have a photo of an older ribbed "Red" cadet?

Benner · **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:44:26 PM

You can do as you like. No need to ask.

When it comes to public photos, I sometimes do. However since this is a private forum I prefer to have permission since someone may get their knickers in a knot about it. Photos take work and time to produce for publishing on the web and I do not want to take away from someone getting due credit. Looks like your photo is uploaded to the SAKwicki. Thanks

Now how about that elusive Red ribbed photo?

Neil · **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:59:33 PM

Ben's image has been added to the 84mm gallery (with due credit

) and is also thumbnailed on the Cadet page

Sorry Wayne, I've not got any red ribbed. Do you think we'd be OK using a pic from that old catalogue? I can't see anyone objecting but technically its not ours $:-\$

Yes, I would use an old catalog photo and I have done so in the past when I could not find one. However I am not sure which one you mean.
