Check out the long-nail file, and the double nail-nick on the scissors.

Looks alot like Chako's that posted back in January.

No clue what this one is called. I checked on SAKWiki and the closest I could find was the 74/75mm Accountant with the long nail file. However this one has scissors as well. The blade is stamped “Victoria Switzerland Stainless” which dates the knife between 1940 to 1950.

A closer look at the back nail file.

Looks the same.

Beautiful and still in excellent nick,the blades are still nice and full and I see yours does not have a external pin on the main blade very nice.  :drool:
Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

Very interesting SAKs guys, I wonder when and long they were produced?  Not any time recently I'm guessing.

The reverse side of the blade has a Victoria with Crossbow in the middle tag stamp.  So since it has both Victoria and Victorinox tangs, it's not ancient, but not that recent.  I don't have my tang reference handy right now.

I think, but you know how I am with the bloody tang stamp dating. ~_~  I try to narrow it down, but sometimes can be a Stormtrooper and not hit the Wampa standing two feet in front of me... err, sorry, watched Star Wars parodies last night for movie night. >.>

I did a bit of research, and it seems right on the money....but then, I have been known to make some big mistakes when posting on here. I don't have the best track record for getting it right at times.  :D

Like many, my exact tang stamp covering both side is not in the official Victorinox documentation.  But what is there would put it more into the 60s, and according to Victorinox hidden rivets were introduced in 1961, but that may have been just for the Soldier, other models having it earlier.  It could be that since it has a 1940s tang on the reverse amd 60s on the Obverse it was an indication of an older model that was produced at a later date after the main tang had changed.  However another Victorinox source says the Obverse Tang was trademarked in 1952, so...

Nailfile on the back of the knife came to 91mm in 1942 according to Victorinox.

So I still don't know... but you certainly don't see too many of them.

Beautiful  :drool:

There's something very classy looking about a Vic in steel clothing.

I have a Vic with the same shop mark on the main blade. "Meng Davos-Platz" IIRC refers to a prominent Vic knife store.
