Champion - Retired Undefeated

[ICanFixThat]

Still a Champion, this Victoria-Victorinox mid 60s to very early 70s 6-layer Stag Champion (model: 246fmaU HH) is in new condition; still operating smooth.

Very nice indeed

[Mr. Whippy]

If you send it to me, I can replace it with a very nice Classic red scaled Champion of the same vintage.  I'm willing to take that cobbled together Champion for you...

What's that spike on the backside?

[Neil]

Its a nail file.  You don't find them on the modern SAKs, instead we get the hook  Not a good trade in my opinion.

Very nice SAK and superb condition

That's exactly the way I think about it; it seems to have captured a touch point in the history.

Tools:
Clip-point Small Blade
Large Main Blade
Scissors; screw pivot; single leaf black spring
Fish Scaler; no measurement scales
Metal Saw/File; non chromium
Woodsaw; raked teeth
Caplifter; Screwdriver; Stripper Notch; Scraper
Can-Opener; +PAT on tang
Long nail-file
Reamer; no eye; long sharpened edge.
Corkscrew; tight 5 turn; deep groove; (different metal?)
Stag with Toothpick and Tweezers (metal head)
Shackle/Bail

DAMN!!! i want one!!!

[Mr. Whippy]

Interesting...

My red cellidor "Champion" of the same vintage has the square phillips with file instead of corkscrew.  The rest of the  tools are the same.  Even has a bale.  Maybe it's not a "Champion?" 

[Neil]

Don't quote me on this as its from memory but I think way back then it would still have been called a Champion, just with a different catalogue number.

Yes, that is my understanding too.  A German price-list list them all as "Champion".  Your model number would be 146fmaU, even those without the shackle would be considered Champions at that time.

Enjoy!
