Is it a Deluxe Angler, or Deluxe Fisherman?
on: September 18, 2009, 06:20:33 PM
I bought this in Seoul, Korea back in December.  This is the ONLY one I have ever seen and for sale.  Question is: is it a Deluxe Angler, or Deluxe Fisherman?  Anyone else got one?  I want to do an article on it on the Swiss Wiki (of which I am a member)......since it is NOT listed (same for the no-pliers but fish scaler Craftsman, and the soon to post STG-90 Assault Rifle Wenger SAK).

I added the corkscrew stored micro screwdriver after I bought it (that is SOP with all my Vic SAK's with corkscrew: add teh micro screwdriver if it did not come with one).

Pics (I used my Nikon D-90 to make these....):

I have one too and I came to the conclusion that it's an Angler? I might be wrong though. :D

did you buy it new or used?  When did you get it?  Obviously, mine is odd as it has:

- scissors rivet has flat blade screwdriver notch
- pliers do not have crimper

Your knife is obviously an unusual model since all the catalogs we have do not identify it. Since the pliers were not introduced until late 1985 it can not be any newer than that. The 1985 Vic catalog dose not have this knife or even a Pliers model Angler. The Angler at that time had Scissors and a Phillips Screwdriver but no Hook since that tool did not come out until later. Still looking and wondering.
