There has been a thread or two on this in the past.  Great to see another person excited about this discovery.  Really nice knife and you get it in mint condition. 

I finally got hold of the VSAKCS Astonaut a couple weeks or so ago.  I was very excited to finally get this version (no woodsaw).  I was surprised and very happy to find that it had the latest Stainless Steel metal file/saw.  I think this could be one of the first knives to feature that?  Anyway it makes it extra special.

The 'Astronaut' has landed. BNIB chuffed to say the least.

It would appear that there may be some left!

The figure "82" is embossed on the underside of the box. I assume that this indictes the year of manufacture as 1982. Having checked on SAKWIKI this would indicate that as the Astronaut model was made from 1986/91 that this maybe the 'Master Craftsman' although the box is marked Astronaut'

Any comments

This is my latest SAK, a mother of pearl Victoria Champion:



The picture does not do it justice: I think it has never been used, except maybe the small (clip point) blade. It has all the cool stuff like the long nail file, +PAT opener and 5 turn corkscrew. It even came in a pouch (4.0520.3)

Old school, very dressy, very beautiful.

Thanks guys, I am really happy that I found that one! It had only been listed on eBay Germany for an hour or so when I bought it.

No idea about the "82" on the bottom, but as noted in the wiki your tool configuration would be the same as a Master Craftsman.  However, it can also be correctly refered to as an Astronaut; marketing was on top of the potential opportunity.

It was fun to revisit the old threads, and I edited the wiki a bit to mostly clarify and reduce verbage.

I'm a sucker for Mother of Pearl.  Looks great.

Well me being a sak doctor  and dealing with many a patients like you I seem to come to the conclusion you may have.  The best advise I can give you is to send one to me for experimental purposes.   

[ironraven]

Early Compact- no file on the hook. And it had a cheap light on the keyring, yoooo.

Now I need to find a 91mm Golfer for the family tree.

Another real beauty!

I don't think someone just removed the serrations on the orange peeler. I don't remember if I've seen one before, has anyone else seen the non-serrated orange peeler?

[Reinier]

I just noticed you uploaded that to SAKWiki. it's beautiful!
Are you in for a trade?

[Neil]

Very cool 

I don't think I've seen a plain edge peeler in the flesh.  I read somewhere that this is how they were originally and serrations added later but don't ask me where I read it 

[victor7000]

This is a very interesting and nice knife 

My latest is here  

[dks]

A damaged (blade) hunter, a cigar cutting wenger (needed one) and a polished Stainless steel (Unusual for me, or maybe it is common???)  Victorinox classic.

Nice! I have never seen an alox Executive with a bail. I have seen the regular cellidor Executive with bail.

I have several older Executives that have the smooth edge orange peeler blade. Also some with the fine serrations. Some photos and links;
