I've got a Master Craftsman on the way, from an Ebay auction I won last night.   It only cost me $10 shipped.    By just having Phillips, punch, and the fat fine technician's screwdriver, I'm guessing pre 1986.   Problem is, I couldn't determine much from the fuzzy photos the seller used.

The top knife is a custom Vic Trekker with stag scales, shown with a custom Wenger Ranger, also with stag scales and from the same German company. Both very nicely done.

The lower knife  is a model I've never seen before. Basically its an old 84mm Craftsman (Artisan) with the saw replaced by the metal file. Alternately it can be regarded as a Short Gran Prix, which is how I intend to list it in my data base. This one was done for BP, and has the phillips spam can opener.

My bail arrived in the mail and it was swell.  The tools are in excellent shape.  Hoffritz stamp. What we now call a Super Tinker, was it always a Super Tinker?  (Couldn't find any in the catalogs I skimmed)  Anyone want to take a crack at dating this one? (Looking at you JazzBass :P)  Or any info you know would be appreciated!  :cheers:
Very nice shape.  It'll clean up nicely.  I sure love the file on the flat side of the phillips.   :tu:
My guess is 1961-1968...but others can narrow it down even further.
I tend to use this site as my guide:
http://victorinox.metodi.me/91mmtools.php

I can't!! ..... But agree with FB - New awl/reamer makes it 1961+ ; Bail makes it 1968-
Presumably it has a 'Victoria Officer Suisse' reverse tang stamp with crossbow.
File or no file on the square Phillips?? (And no can key I'd guess)
You can also try this link for dating....
I started off using the SAAMS tool guide - But found I needed to see what tool versions were around together for a specific date (ie a row in the table) and the table works better for that.
It also has a little more info than SAAMS - although the SAAMS piccies are gold of course :salute:

@FB and SG - Will you please stop showing off all your latest acquisitions - I am just too jealous - How do you guys do it  ??? - Especially FB  :rant: - All those vintage SAKs are amazing and my favourites - Give me exposed rivets and the old awl any day  :tu:  :tu:  :tu:

@ philodemus - Watch out for those Masons - You have to be careful if you own a knife like that !!

@ MadP - You would think so - Didn't it only come out last year??

@ NCJ - Great stuff - CT Lite - One of my favourite SAKs - Keep mine in my bedside drawer it's always in use.

 :cheers: :cheers: Thx  H!!!
